The English language has many borrowed words, which come from everywhere. Before 1066, the people living in the British Isles didn't need borrowed words. They spoke a German language called Old English. In 1066, France conquered Britain. The language of the nobles became French. The common people, however, still spoke Old English. Because of this,__a double vocabulary developed in English. For example, everyone likes pork. The nobles called it by the French word, porc, while the common people called it swine. Both words exist in modern English, although pork is more common. Over time, more words from other European countries went into English.
Here is a brief summary of where many borrowed words in English come from: Latin—29%, French—29%, Greek—6%, other languages—6%, and proper names—4%. That leaves only 26% of English words that are actually English! There is very little that is original about English. Since its words come from so many languages, many may have come from yours.
When English borrowed words, it kept the original spellings from the original languages. All languages borrow words, but many change the rules to fit their phonetics (发音学). For example, photograph is a Greek word. Ph has the sound /f/ in Greek. English has kept the ph, but Spanish has changed it to f as in fotografia. This is why English spelling is so difficult and often does not make sense, even for native English speakers. Click here to know more examples of borrowed words in English.
5．What can we know about Old English
A．It was the same as the modern German.
B．It came into being in the year of 1066.

Although toys' packaging says it's educational, it doesn't make it so. That's the finding from a new study in JAMA Pediatrics that found some toys being marketed as language promoters got in the way of learning.
Research shows that for kids to understand, speak and eventually read or write a language, they need to hear it—lots of it. And it's never too early for parents and caregivers to get talking. That explains the fast industry in talking electronic toys that claim to help kids learn language.
“We had a talking on farm animal names and things，” Professor Anna Sosa says of the electronic toys. “We had a baby cell phone. And we had a baby laptop. So you open the cover and start pushing buttons, and it tells you things. The parent child couples were asked to play separately with each type of toy over the course of three days.”
“When there's something else that's doing some talking, the parents seem to be sitting on the sidelines and letting the toy talk for them and respond for them，” Sosa says. “That's bad because the best way a toy can promote language in babies and kids is by exciting interaction between parent and child. There's simply no evidence that a young child can learn language directly from a toy. It isn't responsive enough. It isn't social.”
As for the other toys, traditional blocks and puzzles stimulated more conversation than the electronic toys, and books outscored them all. But don't underestimate the humble block. “While traditional toys fell short of books in interaction quantity，” Sosa notes, “they kept pace in terms of quality.”
1．What is the finding of the research led by Professor Anna Sosa
A．The toy industry is facing new challenges in marketing.
B．Kids should be taught to learn with toys as early as possible.
C．People might be misled by the statements of some toy makers.
D．Parents need to be cautious when choosing toys for their kids.
2．According to the passage, why are talking electronic toys so popular
A．Because they represent the latest creations.
B.Because they arouse the interest in learning.
C.Because they are used as an educational tool.
D.Because they are easy for the kids to control.
3．What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A.It is necessary for the parents to share their experiences of reading with their kids.
B. It is necessary for the parents to spare more time to stay with their kids at home.
C．It is necessary for the parents to encourage their kids to attend social activities.
D．It is necessary for the parents to get involved in the conversations with their kids.
4．What is the author's attitude to electronic toys as language promoters
A．Critical. B．Doubtful.
C．Supportive. D．Objective.

How to Be a Good Listener in Class
Being a good student means being a good listener. Whether you're a young student or entering college, it's important to learn to pay attention in class and take good notes, which will help you succeed.__1__.
Be prepared for class
When it's time to go to class, make sure you've got everything that you need ready to go, so you won't have to miss anything because you're struggling to catch up.__2__.

Listen for key words and concepts that your teacher mentions, and pay attention to what's written on the board. Anything that the teacher takes the time to write down on the board is extremely important. Also, anything that is repeated several times is very important.
Take good notes
Have a different notebook for each class, and have some pencils or pens ready to go when you want to take notes.__5__. It's not necessary to have a total record of everything your teacher says. As long as you try to keep up and write down important ideas, taking notes is a good way of paying attention in class.

A
You can find house sparrows (麻雀) in most places where there are houses (or other buildings), and in few places where there aren't. They have a short history in North America. Here are some facts about house sparrows.
The house sparrow was introduced into Brooklyn, New York, in 1851. By 1900 it had spread to the Rocky Mountains. Two more introductions in the early 1870s, in San Francisco and Salt Lake City, aided the bird's spread throughout the West. House sparrows are now common across all of North America except Alaska and far northern Canada.
The house sparrow takes frequent dust baths. It throws soil and dust over its body feathers, just as if it were bathing with water. In doing so, a sparrow may make a small depression (凹陷) in the ground, and sometimes defends this spot against other sparrows.
The house sparrow prefers to nest in man made structures such as lower edges of their roofs or walls of buildings, street lights, and nest boxes instead of in natural nest sites such as holes in trees.
House sparrows are social birds and they have a pecking (啄食) order much the way chickens in a farmyard do. You can find out the standings by paying attention to the black throats of the males. Males with larger patches of black tend to be older and dominant__over males with less black. By wearing this information on their feathers, sparrows can avoid some fights and thereby save energy.
1.What can we know about house sparrows
A．They are native to New York.
B．They are a new species of birds.
C．They are foreign to North America.
D．They are seen in all parts of the world.
2．In which place are you least likely to see house sparrows
A．New York. B．Alaska.
C．San Francisco. D．Canada.
3．Which can replace the underlined words “dominant over”
A．surprised at B．curious about
C．popular with D．superior to
B
Each year，people buy millions of aquarium (水族箱) fish. But somehow most of the fish died within weeks or even within hours after you had bought them. For sure, fish are weak creatures compared to us. It does not mean they died for no reason at all.
Since fish have no body heat, they are sensitive to sudden changes of water temperature. Water PH and water hardness can also affect them if there is a sudden change. Most of the quick deaths of fish are due to shock.
Tap water is not a perfect choice for aquarium fish because of the chlorine (氯) in the tap water, which can kill the fish. So the best way is to just put the tap water in the sun for a few days.
Fish need oxygen in the water. They will die if the oxygen in the aquarium runs out. Several things can cause it to happen. The aquarium is too small, that is, less water means less oxygen. The aquarium is too crowded, for the more fish you have, the more oxygen they need. The temperature is too high, because the higher the water temperature, the less dissolved oxygen.
Overfeeding the fish can cause a digestive (消化的) problem and kill the fish directly. More food than it is needed can also cause water pollution and create more harmful waste which will kill the fish too. Feed the fish only once a day, with no more food than they can eat in less than a minute. In this case, less is better.
4.What's the function of paragraph one
A．Raising a question.
B．Putting forward an argument.
C．Posing a problem.
D．Listing the causes of the problem.
5.Why are fish sensitive to sudden changes of water temperature
A．They are warm blooded.
B．They have no body heat.
C．They live in the water.
D．They are very weak.
6.What's the purpose of putting tap water in the sun
A．To let out the chlorine.
B．To warm the water.
C．To kill the viruses.
D．To make the water clear.
7.How is the passage mainly developed
A．Problem solution pattern.
B．Question answer pattern.
C．Doubt explanation pattern.
D．View argument pattern.

New research suggests that human beings may have been partly responsible for the disappearance of cave bears thousands of years ago, when the plant loving animals lived. Some experts believed that the cooling climate during the Earth's Ice Age was to blame for their extinction.
Scientists reported last week they had studied genetic data from 59 cave bears. Their bones were recovered from seven countries: France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Serbia, Spain and Switzerland. From the genetic information, the scientists noted a decrease in the cave bear population beginning about 50，000 years ago. That is around the time of the arrival of Homo sapiens, or modern humans, in Eastern Europe. The researchers said they observed a sharp drop in the bears' numbers about 40，000 years ago. That coincides with the spread of Homo sapiens throughout Europe.
The animals disappeared about 20，000 years ago. The cave bear lived in the Ice Age at the same time as other now extinct creatures. The bear was as big as a modern polar bear, but ate only plants. It appears often in prehistoric cave paintings.
There has been a scientific debate about what led to the extinction of the cave bear. Some scientists believe that the climate change greatly reduced the plants they needed, while others have blamed human activities, including hunting and taking over the caves where the bears gave birth and slept during winter. The bear's population remained largely unchanged for long periods before climate cooling, including during two noticeably cold periods and other cooling events.
Homo sapiens appeared in Africa more than 300，000 years ago and later moved to other areas. The study offered new evidence that the arrival of Homo sapiens led to ruin for many kinds of animals across Eurasia, the Americas and Australia.
1．How did scientists research on cave bears
A．By studying the bones found in some countries.
B.By observing the paintings on the cave walls.
C.By being told from generation to generation.
D.By making research on the polar bears.
2．When did the cave bear die out
A．About 50，000 years ago.
B．About 40，000 years ago.
C．About 20，000 years ago.
D．More than 300，000 years ago.
3．What can we learn according to the fourth paragraph
A．Sudden change of climate made cave bears die out.
B．Cave bears couldn't adapt to cold environment as quickly as possible.
C．The loss of cave bears' habitats caused damage to their existence.
D．Cold periods were very common thousands of years ago.
4．Which of the following is the best title for the passage
A．Humans Perhaps Partly to Blame for Cave Bears' Disappearance
B．Homo Sapiens Hunting Kinds of Animals across Eurasia
C．A Debate over Why Cave Bears Suddenly Disappeared
D．Scientists Studied Bones Discovered in Seven Countries

Dogs have complex emotions such as jealousy (嫉妒)and pride, according to a scientific research that throws new light on their relations with humans.
Animal psychologists previously believed most animals lacked the “sense of self”， which is needed to experience secondary emotions such as jealousy, embarrassment or guilt. These emotions are more complex than instant reactions such as anger or joy.
Professor Friederike Range, from the University of Vienna, has shown that dogs are jealous when they feel unfairly treated compared with other dogs. “Dogs show a strong reaction to inequity (不公平)，” she said.“If one dog gets something, you'd better believe another will demand something as well.”
But, her study points out that it doesn't matter if one gets a better treat and only that the distribution is fair.
The dog study is the latest into several species, including cows, horses, cats and sheep, which have shown that animals are far more self aware than they were thought.
Paul Morris, a psychologist at the University of Portsmouth who studies animal emotions, told The Sunday Times, “We are learning that dogs and horses are far more emotionally complex than we ever realized. They can suffer simple forms of many feelings we once thought only primates (灵长类) could experience.”
In research among dog owners, Morris found almost all of them reported jealous behavior by their pets. The dog often tried to get their owner away from a new lover in the early days of a relationship.
Behavior experts suggest owners keep their dogs away as much as possible from a new partner or child. This helps to prevent jealous activity of the dog such as interruptions with barking or whining (哀号).
5．What's the best title for this passage
A．Animals Have Complex Feelings
B．A New Research
C．How to Prevent Jealous Activity from a Dog
D．Dogs Can Be Jealous
6．What can we learn from the second paragraph
A.Only advanced animals have complex feelings.
B.Most animals lack the sense of self.
C．Experts used to believe that most animals lack complex emotions.
D．The best way to prevent jealousy is to treat all the animals fairly.
7．According to the passage，which of the following statements is true
A．The owner of the dog can do what he likes without considering the feeling of dogs.
B．We have already realized that animals are self aware.
C．Dogs will get jealous if they find they are treated unfairly.
D．The best way to prevent dogs' jealous activity is to give whatever they like to eat.
8．What does the underlined word “complex” in the second paragraph mean
A．Complicated. B．Difficult.
C．Easy. D．Positive.

Ⅰ.七选五
If you live in a place where most people speak the language you are learning, you may use the language for several hours each day. But you may not have these chances to practice English. You may even be self taught. __1__ It is not very difficult, but it does take effort and practice.
Think in single words.
__2__ In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings. As you continue with this, it becomes more of a habit, so things are going to pop up into your head—computer, telephone, chair, and desk. Whatever it is, wherever you are. You can also do this at home when you wake up and before you go to sleep.
__3__
Another exercise is describing in your mind objects you don't know the words for. An example would be if you couldn't think of the word “garage，” Hinshaw says. “If you're looking at your house and you see your garage, but you can't think of the name in English. You can say, ‘The place inside where I put my car.’”
Think in sentences.
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, “It's such a beautiful day.” and “People are playing sports with their friends.” __4__
Describe your day.
Another exercise expert's suggestion is to describe your daily activities. You can mentally make plans in the morning when you wake up. __5__ So the skill level is a little higher.
A．Describe unknown words.
B．Guess the meaning of a new word.
C．This would require future verb tenses.
D．A good first step is to think in individual words.

In the U．S., speaking more than one language fluently is not very common except in Los Angeles, California.
The city has one of the largest population in the U. S. of young people between the ages of 18 and 34. This generation is often called millennials (千禧一代). More than half of millennials in Los Angeles are bilingual (双语的), which means they speak more than one language.
Maria Elena Burgos is cooking a Mexican breakfast. She says making Mexican food is just one of the many traditions in her home. Another is speaking Spanish to her children.
“We want them to be bilingual. We want to keep the Spanish somewhere in their learning too, not only at home.”
When Ms Burgos first came to the United States from Mexico, she learned English. She knew her children would learn English quickly. So she wanted them to speak Spanish at home and study the language at school.
She says being bilingual will give them more opportunities in the future. Knowing Spanish also means the children can talk with their relatives in Mexico.
“When we had our children, one of the decisions we as parents made was to name them with a name that was easily pronounced in English and Spanish.”
Her children include daughters Elizabeth and Monica. They like speaking both English and Spanish.
Elizabeth wants to know her family's culture.
“The culture—to go back to our roots because that's part of who we are.”
Monica wants to pass on the culture to her children.
“It's nice to know our culture and then to be able to pass it onto our children and grandchildren and everyone to let them know where we come from.”
And, Monica says she does not speak only English and Spanish. She has even learned some Korean in school.
1．Which of the following is a tradition of Maria
A．Cooking breakfast for her relatives.
B．Talking with her children in Spanish.
C．Talking with her relatives in Spanish.
D．Forcing her children to speak Spanish.
2．What can be inferred from Monica's words
A．She doesn't care where she comes from.
B．She looks forward to learning Spanish.
C．Everyone should know his own culture.
D．She doesn't like American culture.
3．Which of the following is mentioned about children speaking more languages
A．It can give children more chances in the future.
B．It can make children feel proud before their friends.
C．It can give children a chance to go to a good college.
D．It can let children go to the places where they want to go.
4．What's the main purpose of this passage
A．To entertain the readers with a funny story.
B．To inform the readers of a shocking experiment result.
C．To encourage more persons to learn a second language.
D．To tell a truth that many people in Los Angeles are bilingual.

However exciting space travel sounds, astronauts must still suffer with bad food. Now, food in space has to be dehydrated (使脱水) or precooked and stored. This means astronauts aren't really eating fresh food.
New technology may change this. Scientific American reports that a specially designed oven will be sent into space this autumn with NASA's NG 12 cargo mission. Far from the common vacuum packed meals, astronauts may get to enjoy freshly baked cookies in the near future.
Why aren't they baking cookies in space already For one thing, there's the risk of a fire. Engineers also have to overcome the challenge of micro gravity (微重力), which prevents heat from circling inside ovens the same way it does on Earth.
Astronauts will still have to wait a while before they can have their cookies, though. After baking, the results will be sent back to Earth for safety testing. If successful, this will be the first oven to bake food in space.
“I believe...that will be game changing for both science and astronauts，” food technology researcher Maeena Naman Shafiee told Scientific American.
One of the main driving forces behind this project has been NASA's 2018 research into the effects of “confinement and isolation”. Unlike on the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts traveling out of Earth's orbit may not be able to speak to their loved ones on future missions, which could lead to negative feelings.
It's hoped that the chance to bake and sense familiar smells can bring joy to astronauts.
“Is the ISS going to smell like fresh baked cookies We don't know，” said NanoRacks' communications manager Abby Dickes. “But that's feeling we all know and love...that will make someone feel at home.”
Baking cookies in space would mark an important step, offering a small comfort in the difficult and unfamiliar environment of space travel. Astronauts have already grown plants aboard the ISS.
With commercial space travel now being planned, who knows what other developments may surprise us in the future
5.What can astronauts do with the new oven in space in the future
A．They can cook a meal.
B．They can eat cookies.
C．They can bring more fresh food.
D．They can prepare food quickly.
6．According to the passage, why can't astronauts bake cookies in space now
A．Cooking in space needs some special cooking skills.
B．Micro gravity makes it dangerous to cook in space.
C．It's expensive and inconvenient to bring fresh food to the space.
D．It's difficult to heat food the same way as on Earth because of different gravity.
7．Which one is NOT the purpose of designing the special oven
A．To prepare some fresh food for astronauts.
B．To bring the feeling of home to the astronauts.
C．To make improvements in space travel.
D．To provide a new game for astronauts to play in space.
8．The author is most likely to think that the future of astronautical development will be ________．

When I woke up on August 4, 2016, there was only one thing in my mind: what to wear. A billion thoughts appeared through my brain. Not only was it my first day of high school, but it was my first day of school in a new state. First impressions are everything, and it was important for me to impress the people who I would spend the next four years with.
After carefully hunting my closet (衣橱) ，I proudly came out in a dress. The soft cotton was comfortable, and the specially designed shoulders added a little fun. Yes, this dress was the one. An hour later, I felt powerful as I headed toward room 1136. But as I entered class, my jaw dropped to the floor.
Sitting at her desk was Mrs Hutfilz, my English teacher, wearing exactly the same dress as me. I kept my head down and tiptoed (踮着脚尖) to my seat. I made it through my simple introduction speech until Mrs Hutfilz stood up, jokingly saying that she liked my style. Although this was the moment I had been afraid of from the moment I walked in, all my anxiety surprisingly melted away, and the students paid attention as I shared my story. My smile grew as I laughed with the students. After class, I stayed behind, talked to Mrs Hutfilz and made a humorous and real communication.
Looking back four years later, the ten minutes I spent afraid of giving my speech were really not worth it. My first period of high school certainly made the day unforgettable in the best way and taught me that Mrs Hutfilz had a brilliant sense of style!

The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It's a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn't exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh at the silly and unpleasant things that happen in our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.
1．Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes

B．British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
C．British jokes are connected with many different cultures.

I was very fortunate to be selected to receive $100 for the monthly kindness contest and it has helped to make a beautiful difference in people's lives. This past October I received a grant to build The Inspiration Tree.
The concept is simple. I took a lot of fallen branches and hung them from the ceiling with the help of volunteers and friends. Then we hung strings with clothespins (衣夹) attached to them from the branches. I got a whole lot of art supplies and as people came in for the art exhibit, they were encouraged to create a piece of art or a positive message to hang from the tree.
The tree transformed into this really fun way of exchanging positive messages. If you were to hang a message up, you had to take a message down for you to keep. The experience was really amazing. People of all ages and from all walks of life were sharing art and inspiration through the tree.
With the $100 I received, I made a total of seven more trees. I am putting them all over our community. One will go to a youth shelter for homeless teens and one will be put right in the middle of the town on our public square. They will have paper and art supplies at the base for people to use in creating a message or piece of art.
For the classroom I was able to provide them with new colored pencils, markers, some sketchbooks and folders, which they all loved. The idea is to create interactions that are positive and can impact people's lives in great ways just by doing a simple act of kindness. The messages people receive can be kept with them forever as a reminder of the good in the world, or they can pass them along to others.
5．What is The Inspiration Tree made of
A．Old clothes. B．Art supplies.
C．Strong strings. D．Dead branches.
6．What should you do if you put up your message on the tree
A．Help create a new tree.
B．Pay some money to do it.
C．Take a message from the tree.
D．Ask someone to exchange gifts.
7．What do you know about the author
A．Considerate. B．Confident.
C．Honest. D．Wise.
8．What is the author's purpose in creating the tree
A.To help others.
B．To inspire people.
C．To hand out gifts.
D．To spend the prize money.课时作业(十八)　Unit 5　Section Ⅱ　Using language

Wildlife faces threats (威胁) from habitat destruction，pollution, and other human actions. Although protecting wildlife may seem too hard at times, even small actions in your own neighbourhood can help protect many different animals. Here are some tips on how to protect wildlife through small actions.
1．Create wildlife friendly areas in your backyard.
When trying to make your garden more beautiful, you can choose plants that can provide food and shelter for native wildlife. This will also help cut down on pollution. Add bird or bat houses to your yard or garden to attract and shelter these species.
2．Avoid harming the natural ecosystem (生态系统) in your area.
Some plants from other places can kill or harm native plants that provide food and shelter for wildlife.
3. Have a greener lifestyle.

A
A while back I caught a news report on something called “couch surfing” and the network of trusting souls who make this phenomenon possible. They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one's home for one or two nights Give me a break.
However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I had always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there.
If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blue eyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少语的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic welcome and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to come and go as I pleased.
If this was what couch surfing was all about trust and friendship, then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couch surfing idea. What urged these people to open their homes to strangers I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to like minded folks who might enrich their own lives.
Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it's this: Most people are good and generous.
Where will couch surfing take me next Who knows But I can't wait to find out.

Thirteen year old Kaylee has a lot of friends—532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee's online friendships could be making her lonely That's what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents' childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in__the__flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2，000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger. “There's definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other，” says Katie Davis, coauthor of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today's kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don't need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
5．What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A．To summarize the text.
B．To tell about true friends.
C．To bring up a discussion.
D．To encourage online friendships.
6．What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
A．In any case. B．In person.
C．In full measure. D．In advance.
7．What is Katie's attitude towards online communication
A．Worried. B．Unconcerned.
C．Confused. D．Positive.
8．What view does Rosen hold
A．It's wise to turn to friends online.
B．It's easier to develop friendships in reality.
C.Teenagers need to focus on real world friendships.
D．Social media help people stay closely connected.

Becoming more social online isn't that difficult if you keep these two points in mind. Firstly, adopt an open minded approach. Secondly, remember that people online are as real as you and not virtual (虚拟的) though nameless. Getting to know them will make you feel much easier to be more social online.
Consider which social medium you are most comfortable with. There are many different methods for you to spend time online and socialize with others. If you feel that you can express yourself more vividly (生动地) over video, consider choosing video chat or Skype. If you feel more comfortable expressing yourself using writing, experience magic of creating articles on the page through writing blogs. If you want to socialize in a friendly atmosphere and to create a good circle, Facebook is best for you. Try not to limit yourself to just one medium of communication. Having a variety of experiences will help you to feel more widely engaged and will maintain your interest in a range of areas, meeting many different types of people.
Be open to thoughts expressed by others. Take care to avoid being misunderstood by others by writing or talking clearly and explaining yourself carefully. Take time to respond to messages and if something upsets you, step back rather than responding immediately and think through whether you've interpreted (理解) things accurately or not. Allow others the same—do not expect people to reply immediately or to have quick answers to questions that you have placed for them.
1．What does the underlined word “them” refer to
A．People online.
B．The ways to be social.
C．People in real life.
D．The two points above.

A．Real. B．Open minded.

C．Video chat. D．Skype.

Roommates can be fun, entertaining and interesting. However, it doesn't mean your living friendship will always run smoothly. In other words, there is no perfect or faultless roommate. Here are some common roommate problems that one is sure to face.
Everyone expects to live in a clean room. Unfortunately, not everyone has the same understanding of cleanliness. Thus, one roommate may end up feeling the other doesn't put effort into keeping the room neat. Moreover, a common example is the situation where one roommate has no sense of cleanliness, letting rubbish pile up in the room for days and never cleaning the bathroom.
Noise making is one unpleasant course of feud (不和) between roommates. Some roommates are loud and very noisy with slamming (砰地关上) doors behind them and playing or singing along with music. Most of these noises are unwanted and can easily break the peace.
Some roommates have many friends who would visit until midnight or even sleep over in your room practically invading your privacy.
Having a roommate who takes your things without your permission is one of the worst problems. It can be annoying to get back from class only to realize that your roommate picked or finished your leftovers, or to discover that your juice is somehow running out twice as fast as it usually does, and this can lead to a feud.
To live in comfort with a roommate, you need to live in harmony (和谐) and brush things off when you can because everyone has faults.
5．What's the nature of the first problem
A．Difference in thoughts.
B．Difference in fortune.
C．Difference in customs.
D．Difference in culture.
6．How is Paragraph 5 developed
A．By giving explanations.
B．By comparing.
C．By inferring.
D．By listing examples.
7．What's the purpose of the last paragraph
A．To summarize the passage.
B．To give a solution to the problems.
C．To list some relevant facts.
D．To bring forward the problems.
8．Which can be the best title of the passage
A．Practical solutions to roommate problems
B．Common problems between roommates
C．What a bad roommate one can be
D．Don't touch others' things without permission

The bus screamed to a stop in Nazareth, Israel. Five Australian backpackers boarded and struck up a conversation with me. They asked typical travelers' questions—where was I going and why was I traveling alone My plan was to travel with a friend of a friend, I explained, but when I called her that morning, she didn't pick up and I had no other way to reach her. My stomach was in knots, but I decided to head out anyway, thinking I might run into her if I traveled to Tiberius, where we had planned to go together.
“Why don't you travel with us？” one of the backpackers offered. They were experienced adventurers who would work for a few months, save, then travel for as long as they could. Their current plan was to explore the Middle East and Europe in three months while working in London.
It seemed risky to travel with strangers, but my instinct said yes. For the next two weeks, I explored Israel with the backpackers and learned to trust my instincts in all types of new and interesting situations. When they hooked a ride, I took the bus, but when they wanted to steal into the King David Hotel's swimming pool, I led the way. The world opened up to me because I chose to travel alone. I joined complete strangers, who become close friends. Years later, one couple from the backpacking group even flew from Sydney to Phoenix to be in my wedding. The trip was such a special experience that it gave me confidence in all areas of my life. Since then, I've backpacked alone across South Africa, sky dived from 12, 000 feet in New Zealand and even moved across the U. S. with no job lined up.
On my third day wandering in Israel with my new friends, I bumped into the woman I was supposed to meet. Though I was happy she was all right, I was grateful she hadn't picked up the phone.
1．By “My stomach was in knots” (in Paragraph 1) , the author most likely means that she was ________．
A．sick of riding on a bumpy bus
B．nervous of meeting strangers
C．upset about the sudden change
D．sorry about the impractical plan
2．Which of the following best describes the backpackers the author met
A．Courageous but disrespectful.
B．Jobless and poorly educated.
C．Warmhearted and trustworthy.
D．Homeless but lighthearted.
3．The author's sixth sense told her that ________．
A.she would get along with the backpackers
B．it might cause trouble to have a swim
C．she ought to stay away from the backpackers
D.it could add excitement to get a free ride
4．What can be inferred from the passage
A．Most of the backpackers became the author's lifelong friends.
B．The author gathered the courage to be a fulltime backpack traveler.
C．The woman missed the phone call with the purpose of traveling alone.
D．The author considered it the best decision of her life to travel on her own.

The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person
Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who are their favorite singers, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There's nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a__shrug__(耸肩)__for__an__answer.__
Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

The best way to go on a holiday
Holidays with family can be hard and there can be many arguments. One friend told me that both she and her sister were in tears after arguing on holiday when their flight had even taken off. __1__ In my own family, my dad always wants to go to a museum, my mom and my sister want to shop, and I want to go to a coffee shop. __2__ Travelling with family can be very cheap or even free, though，if parents pay.
Holidays with friends are not usually as cheap and money always plays an important role. It's normal for everyone to have different budgets and there need to be a lot of compromises, from where you stay to what you eat. This surely causes problems.
__3__ When on holiday with friends, you do different things from what you do with family. It's also good for learning more about your friends, and sharing experiences together. Even though we spend a lot of time with our friends, travelling with them is different and is a way to strengthen friendship.
When choosing with whom to travel, there is another option: Alone. __4__ For example, you don't have to compromise on money issues. You can choose what you want to do and it can also be a good opportunity to meet new people, especially when staying in hotels.
Personally I prefer travelling alone because there are fewer arguments. Of course, sometimes I like holidays with other people. __5__
A．For the most part, we end up shopping.
B．That way, there is always someone to talk to.
C．Nonetheless, travelling with friends can be incredible fun.
D．Not everybody in the family wants to do the same thing.
E．Travelling alone has advantages over travelling with other people.
F．Going to travel with such people can be different.
G．Almost everybody likes to relax, to visit new places and see new things.

I am a part of the Windward Robotics team known as the Omnicats, one of the many clubs offered at my school. My eight teammates and I started out by watching the robotics qualifiers and finals of Chinese teams. We used these robotics videos for inspiration and drew up mind maps of what our team wanted to do.
We meet every day for two hours after school in order to build our robots. Typically, adults oversee what students are building, but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of our final product.
Before our first real match, a practice one was offered at the actual site. My group had been further along than other teams but quickly fell behind. When we arrived on that big day, I immediately felt my teammates' tension. Our first match was in three minutes. All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all. Our robot was still sitting in a box. Two of our teammates rushed to take the robot for an official examination as the rest of us discussed our strategy.
Our team captain explained that we all should try driving the robot now, while it was early in the season. She gave me the remote. I had only driven for a limited amount of time in practice so I was extremely nervous. Our autonomous code began to run almost immediately after our short discussion. Despite all the drama, we ended up winning the match. Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud. I did not enjoy the pressure of driving but liked building the robot behind the scenes instead.
We have transferred to a different type of robotics at the end of the semester, which involves the whole team designing one giant robot with large tools. I am a part of the electrical team now, so I make sure the motherboard (母板) can supply the robot's energy needs. We have all enjoyed the rest of the season and learned that robotics is never dull!
1．What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Inspect. B．Revise.
C．Overlook. D．Request.
2．Why did the author's teammates feel so nervous before their first match
A．Because it was really too difficult for them.
B.Because they didn't prepare for it at all.
C．Because they didn't know what the match would be like.
D．Because they didn't make full preparations before the match.
3．How did the author think about their first robotics match
A．It was tiring but exciting.
B．It was stressful but wonderful.
C．It was terrible but delightful.
D．It was boring but rewarding.
4．What is the best title for the text
A．A Girl Who Loves Robots
B．My First Robotics Match
C．Teamwork for Robots
D．Robotics Is Never Dull课时作业(五)

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Starting a new school can be very hard, and all you want to do is just fit in. If you want to overcome the feelings of being left out, remember well begun is half done. So try to start off well.
Arrive early. On your first day at your new school, try to arrive early so that you can fit in. Arriving late will make you feel excluded (排斥的) , and won't make a good impression on your new teachers! Arriving early will give you the chance to socialize with people already at school. This can help to make you look as if you're already “in the know” .
Introduce yourself. Although it may seem awkward, this is the way to get things rolling. Start to talk about the smallest of things and especially about the other person. By doing this, you'll be right on track in a week or two.
Try to be outgoing. The key to this advice is starting the conversation and showing your attitude towards other kids. Let's face it. No one's going to come straight up to you and want to be best friends. It's you that have to go up, say your name, ask questions, get to know people, and maybe even share things about yourself. It may seem scary, but it's definitely worth a shot.
Connect. Find people you have things in common with. Although you can't necessarily be picky on the first day, be on the lookout for long term friends, not just people who are looking to be nice to you to better their reputation.
1．What will happen if you arrive late on the first day
A.Feel left out.
B．Be ignored by other kids.
C．Be cool.
D．Make a good impression.
2．How should you get to talk with other kids
A．Talk about great events.
B．Ignore the feeling of awkward.
C．Talk more about yourself.
D．Not speak unless spoken to.
3.What advice is put forward in paragraph 4
A．Take the initiative.
B．Show your attitude.
C．Be modest.
D．Avoid speaking nonsense.
4.What's the writer's attitude to those looking nice to better their reputation
A．Favorable. B．Admired.
C．Disappointed. D．Disgusted.
B
Grades from freshman year are important later on if you aim to get into a selective college. While your specific grades in each class might not be put under a microscope, your overall GPA will be front and center. Grade point averages (GPAs) are generally calculated based on all of the classes that you've taken in high school, so your freshman classes will weigh into your GPA just as heavily as your junior year classes.
If you get a few Bs or even one or two Cs, it won't be the end of the world. One thing that admissions committees do look for is an upward grade trend. They like to see how you learn from your mistakes and use them as tools for improvement. Getting a less than stellar (不尽如人意的) grade during your freshman year will be less of an issue if you improve steadily afterwards.
All in all, your freshman year grades are important because they will weigh into your GPA and affect your class rank (排名), both of which are factors that a college admissions committee is very interested in. At the end of the day, though, a C during your freshman year is not nearly as bad as a C during your junior or senior year. You still have plenty of time to improve.
5．What will happen if you get low grades in your first year
A．You won't graduate from high school successfully.
B．You won't be admitted to any college or university.
C．You need to work hard in your junior and senior years.
D．You will be looked down on by admissions committees.
6．What does a college admissions committee care most
A．Specific grades in each class.
B．GPAs and class rank.
C．Scholarships won in high school.
D．Downward grade trend.
7．How is the passage mainly developed
A．General specific pattern.
B．Specific general pattern.
C．General specific general pattern.
D．Specific general specific pattern.
8．Which can be the best title of the passage
A．When Do You Need Work Heart and Soul
B．Which Year Matters Most in High School
C．How Are GPAs Calculated in High School
D．How Much Do Your Freshman Grades Matter

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者和队友参加一次机器人比赛的事情，介绍了他们比赛前后所做的工作，比赛时的情况以及作者在比赛中的体会。
1．答案与解析：A　词义猜测题。根据画线词后“...but my school lets teens take control. It leaves room for more errors, but we're prouder of our final product.”可知，一般情况下，是成年人监督学生制造机器人，但作者的学校让青少年独自操作。这会产生更多失误，但作者他们对最终的成果更加自豪。故画线词意为“监督”。
2．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“All of us glanced around at each other since we were not prepared at all.”可知，他们在比赛前没有做好充分的准备。
3．答案与解析：B　细节理解题。根据第四段中“...so I was extremely nervous... Despite all the drama, we ended up winning the match. Not too bad for the first match! I was so proud.”可知，作者认为他们的第一次机器人比赛很紧张，但最后他们赢得了比赛，结果还不错。
4．答案与解析：C　标题归纳题。本文主要在讲作者和队友如何准备机器人比赛以及比赛前后的情况，贯穿全文的是团队的合作。故C选项“机器人比赛的团队合作”最适合做文章标题。

【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了英国人幽默的关键点是轻描淡写，以及英国人喜欢取笑自己，也喜欢取笑别人。
1．答案与解析：D　细节理解题。由第一段中的“However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.”和第二段中的“Understatement means saying less than you think or feel.”可知，外国人很难理解英国的笑话是因为英国人经常使用轻描淡写，说明英国人试图说明有些事不怎么重要。
2．答案与解析：A　细节理解题。由第二段中的“For example，if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say，‘It's a little damp outside.’Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, ‘She isn't exactly friendly.’”可知，作者解释轻描淡写的时候用了for example，举了两个例子来说明它的含义。
3．答案与解析：B　细节理解题。由最后一段中的“Mr. Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh.”可知，憨豆先生用他的肢体语言让人发笑。
4．答案与解析：B　主旨大意题。第一段引入“英国人在使用幽默时，经常使用轻描淡写”话题，第二段通过两个例子解释轻描淡写，第三段讲“理解英国幽默的另一个关键是，英国人喜欢取笑自己，也喜欢取笑别人”，第四段讲“憨豆先生的幽默”。文章都在介绍了解英国人幽默的关键点是轻描淡写和英国人喜欢取笑自己，也喜欢取笑别人，旨在帮助读者更好地了解英国人的幽默，B项“了解英国人的幽默”为短文最佳标题。
