For a year and half, kids sent hurtful messages like “You are ugly.” or “Why are you still alive?” to Rebecca Sedwick. In 2013, Rebecca, then 12, couldn’t stand it anymore. She took her own life near her home in Florida. Soon afterward, Trisha Prabhu read about the story. “I was surprised and heart-broken,” said Trisha, now 15, who is from Naperville, Illinois, “I know that I had to do something to stop this from ever happening again.”
Trisha did some research. Studies show that one fourth to half of all teens in the US have been cyberbullied (网络欺凌). Experts say that if you are ever bullied online, you should tell a trusted adult. Tell the cyberbully to stop, and prevent him or her from contacting you again. Print and save messages to share with the police. This is good advice, agrees Trisha. But these methods all take place after the bullying has already happened. Trisha had a different idea. Why not teach cyberbullies to stop before they post these messages?
Trisha’s research won awards, including a prize in the Google Science Fair. Then, Tresah built the ReThink app (应用软件). It is programmed to recognize words or phrases that could be hurtful. When that happens, different warning messages come out. “Don’t say things that you may regret later!” says one message. Others ask, “Are you sure you want to say this?” and “Are these words really yours?”
Now Trisha is working on a version(版本) of ReThink for computers. “I am a big dreamer,” she says. “I want to stop cyberbullying before the hurt is done.”
1.What do we know about Rebecca Sedwick?
A. She was one of Trisha's best friends.
B. She sent hurtful messages to others.
C. She ended her life at the age of 12.
D. She went to Florida to study further.
2.What is Trisha’s suggestion for stopping cyberbullying?
A. Stop talking with the cyberbully.
B. Stop the messages before they are sent.
C. Turn to your parents or close friends
D. Show the messages to the police at once.
3.What is the third paragraph mainly about?
A. People's attitudes to the ReThink app.
B. Trisha's research on cyberbullying.
C. How the ReThink app works.
D. The Google Science Fair.
4.Which of the following can best describe Trisha?
A. Honest and careful. B. Helpful and clever.
C. Proud and impolite. D. Strange and impatient.

Twenty years ago, the following news item probably wouldn’t have made much sense to most Americans.
Muslims in Iran went to the streets today to support an ayatollah①’s call for a revolution. Meanwhile, in Israel, Palestinian leaders urged support for the intifada②, ①leader ②struggle
These words come from Arabic, a language with which few Americans are familiar. Yet by 1990 these words were routinely used in both broadcast and print news. How did these words find their way into English?
Like all existing languages, English is continually changing. The adoption of foreign words into English vocabulary, called borrowing, is anything but a new phenomenon. In fact, it’s been going on from the time the language first began to take shape around A. D. 450. English has been borrowing words from the conquered(被征服者), trading partners, immigrants, and a variety of other sources.
So when the events in the Middle East commanded the world’s attention during the latter part of the twentieth century. English simply borrowed the words it needed to describe what was happening in that area. The more often such words were used, the less “foreign” they sounded. Eventually, these borrowed words came to be used routinely in speech and writing.
Borrowed vocabulary from foreign language is not the only source of new words in English. As fresh ideas evolve and innovative technology are developed, new English words are created to describe them. These words may be words borrowed(WB) from other languages, existing words taking on new meanings(EWNM), acronyms, blends, compounds, or newly coined words, as the following examples and the chart show.
Kwanza | borrowed from Swahili: seven-day African-American cultural festival |
rap | old word, meaning to knock quickly, taking on a new meaning; a form of music |
AIDS | acronym for acquired immune deficiency syndrome |
exercycle | blend of existing words: exercise + bicycle |
skateboard | compound of existing words |
cellulite | new word for fatty deposits on the hips and legs, coined in 1971 |
In the next four lessons, you’ll be introduced to some of the history and mechanisms(体系)that have shaped and continued to influence the language we use. Whether the words we speak are borrowed or created, they show a vital feature of English---adaptability. English is alive.
1.What does the word “commanded” in the fourth paragraph probably mean?
A. Ordered B. Instructed
C. Controlled D. Drew
2.The word “mouse” may belong to an example of __________.
A. WB B. EWNM
C. Acronyms D. Blends
3.Where does this text probably come from?
A. A cultural section of a newspaper
B. A language book review
C. A language course advertisement
D. A language lesson book
4.Which of the following can best cover the main idea of the passage?
A. The language in the media is changing
B. English has been borrowing words
C. English is a living language
D. A new phenomenon appears in English

My husband and I are saving thousands of dollars every year by growing our own vegetables in our backyard. We learn something new every year and this website has been made to share tips with other people that would like to grow some of their own food.
It’s true that if you are starting from fresh, it will cost a little bit of money to get started. However, once everything is set up, the cost is very small and the rewards are huge. The size of your family and how many vegetables you eat determine exactly how much money you can save every year. We do a lot of juicing, so we are saving thousands of dollars by growing some carefully selected greens.
There is an amazing sense of accomplishment when you grow your own vegetables. Vegetables out of your vegetable garden don’t get any fresher, tastier or more satisfying. The whole family can get involved in this hobby and kids will learn where food comes from and appreciate nature even more.
Our approach to vegetable gardening is completely different from the normal one. We are doing it in the lazy way with zero digging and fertilizing(施肥). The way we grow our vegetables is to emulate natural ecosystems. No rows of carrots can be found in our garden beds. Rain forests seem to do just fine without human interference(干预) or having plants sown in rows, so we have applied the same principle to our vegetable garden and we care producing more vegetables than ever.
By copying nature we spend little time working in the vegetable garden but get a much better crop than previous years when we followed the rules. What can I say? We’re such rebels.(叛逆者）
1.What does the author think about people growing their own vegetables?
A. It is a rewarding activity. B. It is costly in the beginning.
C. People should devote many efforts. D. People should share their tips.
2.What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Create. B. Imitate(模仿).
C. Protect D. Improve.
3.Why does the author call her and her husband “rebels”?
A. They use unconventional ways to grow vegetables.
B. They don’t buy vegetables from the market.
C. They even try to grow vegetables in the rain forests.
D. They don’t grow ordinary vegetables.
4.Which of the following shows the structure of the text? (P: Paragraph)
A. 
B. 
C. 
D.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Although people value intelligence—understanding, reasoning, the ability to learn—they also respect wisdom, or the knowledge and experience that they gain over a lifetime. In some ways, wisdom is like beauty: we value it, we desire it, we know it when we see it, but it is nearly impossible to pin down such a nice quality. 1.
1. Working at being social.
Studies show that people who stay connected to others show higher levels of wisdom than those who remain alone. 2. Next time you’re at a party or gathering, single out someone who’s standing alone; and strike up a conversation.
2. 3.
Wisdom involves being able to understand all sides of an issue without letting personal feelings gel in the way. Owning your mind means realizing that everyone has a life story that influences their actions. During the course of every day, make a note of the issues that annoy you, and take a moment to see them from the other side.
3. Learning how to say “I could be wrong”.
A wise person understands that it is impossible to know everything and that life is likely to take unexpected turns. 4. Admitting that there are times when you could be mistaken will go a long way in strengthening your fame.
4. Reading the news.
5. If you don’t already read a daily paper or news online, start by going through a single front-page article from a major respected news source.
Almost everyone has the potential to become wiser, particularly if you strengthen these habits.
A. Practicing being open-minded.
B. Sharing good news with your friends.
C. But researchers have tried and here’s what they’ve found.
D. Recognizing your errors can lead only to even greater wisdom.
E. Make an effort to join a new club, or invite an old friend for coffee.
F. You do not have to admit your mistakes if you are really unwilling to.
G. You cannot make balanced choices unless you understand world circumstances.
