【题目】“As easy as falling off a log” is often used to describe a job that does not take much effort. You might hear a student say to her friend that her spelling test was “as easy as falling off a log”. 【1】 . It is easier to fall off the log than to stay on it.
【2】 . One is “easy as pie”. Nothing is easier than eating a piece of sweet, juicy pie unless it is a “piece of cake”.
“Piece of cake” is another expression that means something is extremely easy to do. A friend might tell you that his new job was a “piece of cake”.
Another expression is “as easy as shooting fish in a barrel”. It is hard to imagine why anyone would want to shoot fish in a barrel. But, clearly, fish in a barrel would be much easier to shoot than fish in a stream. 【3】 .

【题目】A
It was almost six years ago that my family and I waited for her at the airport. Unsure of what to expect and a little bitter about such an experience that my mother was forcing upon me, I had mixed feeling about the girl from Madrid. Today,after making many memories and discoveries, I couldn't be more thankful for what that experience taught me.
My family had the privilege to host Teresa for several summers. I became fond of her cheerful chatter, constant laughter ,and addiction to online shopping. She seldom took my unkind jokes seriously and always gave it right back to me, making our relationship closer. She could go on talking for hours about the beach outside her house, her family and friends, and her life at her school.
While several aspects were very similar to my life here, I was always left with a certain level of mystery and excitement as I wondered how the picture in my head compared with reality.
Through hard work, she became fluent in English in almost no time. While this was a big success for her, it made me ashamed as I was not forced to develop the little Spanish that I was learning in class. This experience aroused my interest in traveling to Europe - especially Spain. While l know that not everyone has this same interest in other culture, I believe that it is important for us to be willing to learn about what makes certain customs and activities significant to them As Americans, we may be span>some of the most arrogant(自大的 ) people about other culture, which history has proven can have disastrous consequences. By at least making the effort to appreciate what is important to them, we show respect to the people who have such culture.
Through the unique experience that in a sense I was forced into, I learned far more about the Spanish culture than I could have in any classroom. I discovered new interests that I had never considered before, and I am excited for the opportunity to experience it first-hand this summer.
【1】We can judge from the second paragraph that the girl from Madrid____________.
A. could teach the author Spanish
B. always quarreled with the author
C. liked to talk with the author
D. showed great interest in the author
【2】The author expected to travel to Europe in order to_____________ .
A. develop the little Spanish
B. inform people there of American culture
C. improve the skills to communicate with Teresa
D. have a better understanding of European culture
【3】What is the best title for this passage?
A. Learning Foreign Languages B. Getting Better Culture
C. Close Tie with Teresa D. Hosting Teresa

In order to raise the awareness of students’ protecting the environment, our school organized activity of visiting a photo exhibition about haze on January, 2015. None of us took part in it.
At the art gallery of our city, we enjoyed a lot of photos, reading captions and analyzed some related data. We were astonishing by the harm caused by haze. Meanwhile, we thought high of some works and admired the photographers’ skills. Additionally, we learned what to deal with haze.
For conclusion, the activity benefited us a lot. Not only did it make us to learn more about haze, it also made us awareness of the urgency of protecting our living environment. We all decided to take action to protect the environment.

【题目】D
A new satellite is travelling 1.5 million kilometers over a 110-day period to enter an orbit of the sun. It is called DSCOVR--the Deep Space Climate Observatory. It will replace a satellite that has been observing space weather.
DSCOVR will begin its work during the worst of the 11-year-long solar cycle. This is a time when extreme weather on the sun can have the greatest effect on planet Earth.
DSCOVR will gather information about a continuing flow of particles from the sun. We are protected from these particles by the Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere. But we are not fully protected from what scientists call Coronal Mass Ejections. These are strong storms that can happen on the sun's surface.
Thomas Berger is the director of the Space Weather Prediction Center at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA. He says these ejections are much more dangerous than solar particles. He says the Coronal Mass Ejections are extremely large magnetic clouds that are expelled from the sun at extremely high speeds. He says when they impact Earth, it is like a hurricane impacting Earth in terms of space weather.
Violent space weather can make electric systems stop working. It can block satellite signals to Earth. It can interfere with radio signals and air travel.
Mr. Berger says we cannot stop the ejections from affecting us, but we can prepare for them if we know when they will happen. When the DSCOVR satellite records an ejection, it will release a warning. Mr. Berger says the warning will provide NOAA about 15 to 60 minutes to let people know that a very strong storm is coming in to the Earth. He says that is enough time for power grid operators to take protective action. He says it is also enough time for workers to place satellites on a safe operating method if necessary.
Mr. Berger says scientists would like even more time, of course. He says researchers are developing instruments that will give an earlier warning.
The warnings from DSCOVR will be for the whole planet. But Mr. Berger says a new system may be able to give more-targeted warnings. He says future models will be able to tell exactly what part of the world will be more at risk from a solar storm.
That means that, for the first time, humans will get both a warning that a magnetic storm is heading towards Earth and information about where it is likely to hit.
【1】The new satellite is used to ________?
A. replace the satellite in use
B. observe space weather
C. study the sun

B. during the worst of the 11-year-long solar cycle
C. after the worst of the 11-year-long solar cycle
D. as soon as it enter the robit of the sun
【3】According to Thomas Berger, __________?
A. the Coronal Mass Ejections are expelled from the sun at extremely low speeds
B. the ejections can be stopped from affecting us
C. ejections are far more dangerous than solar particles
D. 15 to 60 minutes is not enough for power grid operators
【4】How much time do people have to make preparations for the ejections__________?
A. more than 60 minutes
B. less than 60 minutes
C. about half an hour
D. between 15 and 60 minutes
【5】What do know from the passage__________?
A. The warnings from DSCOVR will be for just some part of Earth
B. future models will be able to tell what part will be more likely to be hit
C. there is nothing we can do in the face of the solar storm
D. humans have received the warning sent from the satellite
