【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
A private sixth grade is set to start its lessons at 1.30 pm every day because the school's teacher thinks his students will study better after a morning lie-in (懒觉).
Instead of rising early for a 9 am start, students at the ￡15,000-a-year Hampton Court House, in East Molesey, Surrey, will get to enjoy a lie-in and work from 1.30 pm until 7pm. Head teacher Guy Holloway says the move for all sixth grade students, set to begin from September, has been made according to research by scientists. He predicts (预测) that not only will his students aged 16 and upwards get great night's sleep, but their productivity (效率) will also be improved.
The co-educational school will have the latest start time in the UK, and will be the only one to begin lessons in the afternoon.
Experts say young people are programmed to get up later, and that rather than laziness it is simply a shift (转变) in their body clocks.
There are 168 hours in a week and how productive they are depends on how they choose to use those hours,' said Mr Holloway. 'At Hampton Court House we don't think we have the answer for everybody; it's about what works in our school. We want to get them into a condition where they can get great sleep and study well.' He said students would also benefit from reduced journey times as they travel to and from school after rush hour (上下班高峰时间).
Year 10 student Gabriel Purcell-Davis will be one of the first of 30 A-level students to start at the later time. 'I want to wake up in my bed, not in my maths lesson,' said the 15-year-old. Lessons for all other students at the school will still begin at 9 am as usual.
（1）Why did the school decide to start the class at 1.30 pm?
A.It may be good for students' study.
B.Students wanted a morning lie-in.
C.Students were often late for school.
D.Teachers wanted to have a good sleep in the morning.
（2）What can we learn about the new start time?
A.It's suitable for every student.
B.It was based on scientific research.
C.Students are following the new school time now.
D.Only the sixth grade students will use the new school time.
（3）Experts think young people's getting up later ________.
A.is a bad habit
B.is a natural thing
C.is because of laziness
D.is helpful to their study
（4）In Mr. Holloway's eyes, students can improve their productivity by ________.

【题目】阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Standing in front of the “Chilkoot Trailhead” sign for 15 minutes, I didn't take one step. I was afraid of bears. That's what was keeping me from walking the trail alone. I had hiked through black-bear country back home in Colorado, but now I was in Alaska, home to the fierce brown grizzly bear.
Fortunately, a friendly couple arrived and asked me to take their picture. We started talking and soon were walking the trail together. I was relieved. Ron and Carol were from Alaska and they taught me how to stay safe in bear country.
I had finally started my hike along the famous Chilkoot Trail, where more than 115 years ago, thousands of gold miners had walked. I was writing a book about the Klondike Gold Rush, and I wanted to follow in the footsteps of the miners to know what it was really like.
Ron, Carol, and I walked through the forest. As I was looking around at the beautiful scenery in the forest, I tripped (绊倒) over a big tree root and injured my ankle (脚踝). Fortunately, my ankle felt better in the morning, and we followed the trail. We went to bed early that night because the following day would be the toughest hike of all.
At dawn, we started hiking up the steep (陡峭的), green valley. Icy glaciers covered the mountains above. Soon we were as high as the clouds and could see only 20 feet in front of us. Finally, we reached the top of the Chilkoot pass and saw a Canadian flag moving in the heavy wind. Hours later, we arrived at our campground.
The following morning, my ankle was feeling fine, and my fear of bears had mostly disappeared. I said good-bye to Ron and Carol and walked alone for the next two days. Without seeing any bears the entire trip, I finally arrived at Bennett Lake. I rode the old train down to the town of Skagway and checked into my hotel.
While relaxing in my comfortable bed in the hotel, I thought of the miners from the Klondike Gold Rush. When the miners reached Bennett Lake, they had to cut down trees, build boats, and travel 500 miles down dangerous rivers and lakes. Then, when they finally reached the goldfields, they had to start digging.
（1）Why did the author stand in front of the “Chilkoot Trailhead” sign for 15 minutes?
A.To wait for Ron and Carol.
B.Because he felt nervous.
C.Because he met a black bear.
D.To take photos of the beautiful scenery.
（2）The author hiked along the Chilkoot Trail to ________.
A.find inspiration for his writing
B.search Alaska for bears
C.enjoy the beauty of nature
D.look for gold
（3）When crossing the Chilkoot Trail, the author ________.
A.got help from two local miners
B.once tried to take a boat trip
C.hurt himself by accident
D.was almost killed by a brown bear
（4）What kind of feeling did the author mainly show in the last paragraph?
A.Joy.
B.Pity.
C.Worry.
D.Doubt.

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (车的行李箱).
Mr. Johnson's car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin，Kent，after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn't force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”
Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn (喇叭) and hammering（捶打） on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.
Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew（松开螺丝） the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”
It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the things from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench（扳手） and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (攀爬) clear as the car filled up.”
His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby，where he was looked after by the farmer's wife，Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket，he said，“That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” “Only the tips （尖部）of the car wheels were visible，”police said last night. “The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.”
（1）What is the best title for this newspaper article?
A.The Story of Mr. Johnson，a Sweet Salesman
B.Car Boot Can Serve As the Best Escape Route
C.Driver Escaped Through Car Boot
D.The Driver Survived a Terrible Car Accident
（2）Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Mr. Johnson's car stood on its boot as it fell down.
B.Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.
C.Mr. Johnson's car accident was partly due to the slippery road.
D.Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.
（3）The underlined part “Finally it gave” in Paragraph 5 means that “________”.
A.Luckily the door was torn away in the end
B.At last the wrench went broken
C.The chance was lost at the last minute
D.The lock came open after all his efforts
（4）It may be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.the ditch was along a quiet country road
B.the accident happened on a clear warm day
C.the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch
D.Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended

【题目】根据短文理解，选择正确答案。
The US will have a new president this fall. Voters will decide between the Democratic candidate (候选人), Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump of the Republicans.
But the voting is not a must for each person in the US. So quite a lot of people choose not to vote, especially the young generation. According to Fox News, one-in-five young voters between the ages of 18 and 35 said clearly that they wouldn't vote for either of the two candidates. Just 12 percent of voters aged 35-54, and only nine percent of voters aged 55 and older said the same thing.
This is not only because young people don't like Clinton or Trump, according to the Fortune magazine. The truth is that they are traditionally less likely to vote than their parents.
“Young people are not at an age in their life when they think politics or government has anything to do with them,” said Rodd Freitag, a political science professor at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, US. “But for the older age groups, they have a home, they pay taxes (税), they care about schools and the community.”
Many believe that the civic (公民的) education of an American youth is another reason why they don't vote.
Students usually just do community services like cleaning the neighborhoods. This means they haven't learned how to link real life problems to politics through voting, according to Christopher Beem, a politics professor at the Pennsylvania State University.
He said the country needs to help young people learn how to take part in politics and get them to see that they can make a difference.
（1）What percentage of young voters wouldn't go to vote?
A.9 percent.
B.12 percent.
C.20 percent.
D.55 percent.
（2）According to Rodd Freitag, young people are less likely to vote because ________.
A.they don't like either of the candidates
B.their parents don't like to vote
C.they don't think it is a part of their life
D.they have no work and care little about living problems
（3）Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.US Young Not Voting
B.US Young and Their President
C.Young People's Power
D.Voting for the New US President

【题目】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。
Everyone knows that fish is good for health. But it seems that many people don't cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn't difficult. This text is about how to buy and cook fish in an easy way.
Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you're standing at the ocean's edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn't fresh.When you have bought a fish and arrive home, you'd better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don't cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn't as tasty as the fresh one.
There are many common methods used to cook fish. First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices（调料）.
Put the whole fish on a plate and steam it in a steam pot for 8 to 10 minutes if it weighs about one pound. (A larger one will take more time.) Then, it's ready to serve.
A. Do not buy it. B. The easiest is to steam it. C. This is how you can do it. D. It just requires a little knowledge. E. The fish will go bad within hours. F. When buying fish, you should first smell it. G. The fats in fish are thought to help prevent heart disease.

I felt sadly yesterday when our teacher told us something about Project Hope. It has set up to help the children in the countryside which can't afford to go to school. After school I went home. I was wondering if I could do something for the Project then I caught a sight of my money-collecting box on the table. Then I made up my minds to send my pocket money which I had saved for nearly one year for the children who want to go to school. I wrote a letter to him and hurried to the post office. Together with a letter I posted the money and send my best wishes to them.
