【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。
What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red?【1】. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.【2】. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
【3】. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.【4】. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area — until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
【5】. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A.On the other hand, black is depressing. |
B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up — we are born with our preference. |
C.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like. |
D.If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. |
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.

【题目】July 20, 1969 is a day that will forever go down in the history books as a day that changed the world forever. That was the day when American astronaut and explorer Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.
The moon is located almost 240,000 miles from the Earth. Armstrong and his crew, which included fellow astronauts Michael Collins and Edwin “Buzz” Aldrin, began their journey into space on the Apollo 11 Lunar Module (登月 舱) on July 16, 1969. Armstrong was the commander of the mission (任务) and he was the one who piloted the aircraft to the surface of the moon. At almost 11 pm on July 20, 1969, Armstrong exited the craft and set foot on the moon, saying the now famous words, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Aldrin later exited the Apollo 11 Lunar Module as he and Armstrong collected samples (样品) from the moon that they could bring back to the Earth with them and study. Also, they took photographs of the moon and its surroundings as well as their footprints on the moon. Michael Collins, the third member of the crew, remained in the command module during this time.
The mission began its return from the moon on July 24, 1969, four days after its historic landing. The Apollo 11 returned, landing just west of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean. The three-member crew was kept away from others for three weeks just to be sure they were not carrying any unknown diseases or illnesses. After all, it was the first time the moon had been explored, so nobody really knew what to expect. Following that, they were treated as heroes.
【1】What do we know about the mission?
A. It ended on July 16, 1969.
B. Michael Collins piloted the craft.
C. Three astronauts were in the craft.
D. Edwin Aldrin was the commander.
【2】What does the underlined part “giant leap” refer to?
A. The first time man has landed on the moon.
B. Three members’ successful cooperation.
C. Mankind’s first time to know the unknown.
D. The shortening distance between the moon and the Earth.
【3】What did Michael Collins do as the others were collecting samples?
A. He studied the samples. B. He also collected samples.
C. He took some photographs. D. He stayed in the command module.
【4】Why were the astronauts kept away from others after their return?
A. Because they had become ill.
B. Because they needed to take a good rest.
C. Because they carried unknown diseases on them.
D. Because they might have brought back hidden dangers.

Dear Laura,
Thanks for let us stay at your seaside house. Now, you might have heard from your neighbors about which happened on Saturday evening. When I was out a walk, my younger son, Tom , was playing the football before your house. He made so much noise that the neighbors got quite angrily. Even worse, Tom broke one of the window of Mr. Wilson’s house. Tom and I apologized to all the neighbors for the unhappy happenings, but promised to have the broken window repair soon. Tom said that we would not do such silly things any more. I am glad that your neighbors had forgiven us. They are really nice people.

【题目】 Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule: Keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back. The idea behind it is simple — larger fish are probably older. If you keep the smaller young fish, they won’t be able to reproduce, so there will be fewer fish.
But fishing out the largest fish from a population may also have an unwanted effect: Over time, fewer adult fish get really big. If only the smaller fish reproduce, then future generations become smaller.
One scientist, Dr David Conover has spent the last decade studying the effects of the “keep the big ones” rule.
In his experiment, Conover used six groups of fish. For two groups, Conover followed the “keep the big ones” rule and took out the biggest fish. For two other groups, he removed only the small fish. For the last two groups, he removed fish at random (随意地).
After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the largest fish were regularly removed, the average fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. It showed that if only small fish survive to reproduce, then future generations of fish will also tend to be small.
For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the big ones” groups for the first five years had started to get larger again, although he calculated it would take at least 12 years for the fish in those two groups to return to their original size.
In other words, it takes much more time to recover.
【1】The underlined word “it” (Paragraph 1) refers to “________”.
A.the activityB.the fish
C.the ruleD.the fisherman
【2】What’s the purpose of the “keep the big ones” rule?
A.It helps to protect fish numbers.
B.It helps to protect fish size.
C.It teaches people how to fish.
D.It helps people catch bigger fish.
【3】After the first five years of his experiment, Conover found the “keep the big ones” rule ______.
A.made no difference to fish size
B.made the fish smaller on average
C.made the fish bigger on average
D.made the fish reproduce more quickly
【4】What is the author’s intention in writing this article?
A.To encourage people to stop fishing.
B.To urge governments to forbid fishing.
C.To describe a scientific experiment about fishing.
D.To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.
