【题目】Have you ever read stories of Sherlock Holmes---a famous detective? Here is one of his cases.
Stapleton, Charles’ younger brother, found that he would inherit (继承) the Baskerville lands if Charles and his nephew(侄子) ---Henry both died.
Charles who had a weak heart believed super natural stories. After knowing this, Stapleton had the idea of buying a huge hound, and of using the phosphorus(磷) to make it shine like the hound in one story.
Then Stapleton asked his friend Laura to write a letter to bring Charles to the moor gate on that sad night. The hound, which was shining with phosphorus, chased Charles down the Yew Alley. Charles’ fear was so great that his weak heart stopped, and he died but the animal did not touch the dead body. There was no sign of murder. It was difficult for Holmes to find the murderer.
Two weeks later, Stapleton learned that Henry had reached England. He took his wife and the hound with him. He wore a false beard and followed Henry in London. He wanted to use the same way to murder Henry there. He needed something to give the hound Henry’s smell, so he paid a woman at Henry’s hotel to steal one of his shoes. The first one was a new one, which was no use for the hound, so it was put back. And then another older shoe was stolen. Before he was ready to murder Henry, he wasn’t sure if his wife would keep his secret, so he did not tell her the truth. He locked her up in their hotel. She knew that he must have some evil plans. She sent Henry a letter which was made of words cut from a newspaper.
After receiving the letter, Henry realized he was in great danger and it must have something to do with his uncle Charles’ death. So he asked Holmes for help.
【1】What does the underlined word “hound” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. 魔兽??? B. 猎犬??? C. 匕首??? D. 猎枪
【2】Paragraph 4 is mainly about _______.
A. how Stapleton bought the hound??? B. how Stapleton made the hound shine

【3】The first new shoe was not useful for the hound because ___________.
A. it didn’t have Henry’s smell??? B. it belonged to Henry’s wife
C. the hound saw nothing about Henry??? D. the hound didn’t like the smell
【4】What may happen if Stapleton’s wife didn’t send the letter to Henry?
A. It may be easy for Henry to find that he was in danger.
B. It may be easy for Stapleton’s wife to know the truth.
C. Henry may be murdered easily with no sign like Charles.

【题目】More Americans prefer to get food at their local food markets. According to a new study of the University of Iowa (UI), it’s not just because these people believe the food is fresher and tastes better, but because they think they are following a kind of social duty — sharing a healthy lifestyle, helping save environment and so on.
These so-called “locavores (土食者)” are shopping at farmers markets and joining food coops (食品合作社), because they enjoy knowing who grows the food. They are also driven to eat locally grown produce and meat because their promise to do so makes them feel a part of something greater than themselves.
Vasi, an associate professor at the UI, said the local food market is a “moralized (道德化的) market”, and that is a market in which people combine economic activities with their values. Among the findings, the UI researchers discovered local food markets were more likely to develop in areas where local people had a strong promise to social duty, health and the environment. “It’s about valuing the relationship with the farmers and people who produce the food and believing that how they produce the food agrees with your personal values.” Vasi said.???
Vasi shared the results of the study at the American Sociology Association annual meeting in Chicago on Aug. 22, 2015. Researchers also did 40 interviews with consumers and producers in different local food markets in Iowa and New York.
【1】Where do people like to get food better in America?
________________________________
【2】Why do the locavores join food coops?

【3】How do people feel when eating locally grown produce and meat?

【4】Who found that local food markets were possible to develop in areas?

【5】When did Vasi share the results of the study at the American Sociology Association annual meeting?

【题目】Next time you hear yourself wishing for something better in your life, remember the word “SMART”. When you’ve decided to take action, read the following first.
S is for specific (具体的): For example, instead of setting a goal (目标): of “I want to lose weight”, set yourself a specific goal like “I want to lose five kilograms”. If you want to climb a high mountain, start your research, set a date and train for the climbing fitness.
M is for measurable (可测量的): Don’t try to “become healthy”, instead, set a goal that can be measured while carrying out an improved eating, exercise or lifestyle plan. For example, try to go to the gym for an hour three times a week, to visit your grandma once a week for an evening meal, or to eat no more than 200 grams of chocolate a week.
A is for achievable(可完成的): If you’ve never exercised in your life, don’t try to take part in the 2020 Olympics. Rather, get walking with a specific goal of how many steps to take a day. No need to try for the stars—baby steps are good.
R is for relevant (恰当的): Many of us choose goals that seem right, but are in fact wrong. They may go on for a few weeks before they fail. Try to avoid making the same mistake—rather choose goals that really speak to you.
T is for time-conscious (心中有数的): Finally, be very clear in your mind about how much time you are giving yourself to achieve the goal. That way, you know when you’ve succeeded, failed or whether you need to work harder to finish it before the last day.
【1】According to the passage, the writer tells us how to_______.
A. lose weight??? B. take exercise
C. set a goal??? D. spend time.
【2】What does the word “SMART” mean in the passage?
A. Five exercise plans.??? B. Five suggestions.
C. Five training steps.??? D. Five big letters.
【3】Which of the following is not true according to the passage?
A. Specific numbers should be included in the goals you set.
B. You should begin with small steps while achieving a goal.
C. In order to make the goal fit for you, you should be careful.
D. More time should be given for you to achieve your goal.
