In 1519, he led the first voyage to sail around the world. It was also the first voyage to sail from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean. Magellan gave the Pacific Ocean its name, which means “peaceful sea” in Portuguese. However, Magellan himself was killed in a battle before the voyage was finished. Only one of his ships, the Victoria, completed the journey.‎ Laozi lived in the 6th century BC. It is believed that he wrote the Daodejing. This book is popular in both the East and the West, and it is still widely read today. Many people have found inspiration (鼓舞人心的话) in this book. There are many famous sayings in the Daodejing. One of them is, “A journey of a thousand li begins with a single step.”‎ Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician and astronomer. He discovered the law of gravity. In 1687, Newton published one of the most important books in the history of science. In the book, Newton described many laws that show how the universe works. Albert Einstein kept a picture of Newton on the wall of his study.‎ ‎26. Which of the following was the sad news during Magellan’s voyage?‎ A. He was killed in a battle. B.

All you would have to do is to put them on and push a button. Well, this idea is becoming a reality. The shoe company Nike created the self-tying shoe!‎ This idea first came from the movie Back to the Future II, and Nike has been working for years to create a shoe that can do this in real life. They have finally done it with Nike HyperAdapt 1.0.‎ So how do they work? According to Nike, the shoe is “powered by an underfoot-lacing mechanism (脚下系带装置)”. This is kind of like a small motor (发动机) that has the power to lace the shoes.‎ All the wearer has to do is to put them on, and at first, the shoes are very loose (松的). But then you can push the “＋” button (按钮), and the shoes will tighten to be the perfect fit for the wearer. To take them off, all you have to do is to push the “－” button, and the shoes will be easily off.‎ They haven’t been released to the public yet, and the cost of the shoes is still unknown. But you might be able to get a pair of your own closer to the holiday season this year.‎ ‎31. The best title to describe the main idea of the passage is “______”.‎ A. Shoes of the future are now a reality B. Shoes of the future are coming themselves C. The shoe company Nike and its movie D. Shoes and movies are doing their work ‎32.

After the movie Back to the Future II was shown. D. Before the movie Back to the Future II was shown.‎ ‎33. What makes the self-tying shoe work?‎ A. The power from Nike. B.

She loudly says the right answer but hears somebody call her a “know-it-all” and sees someone else roll (滚动) his eyes. She doesn’t feel comfortable enough to speak up again because confident woman are thought to be “bossy (专横的)”.‎ The stereotype (成见) that confident men are leaders and confident women are bossy gave rise to the 2014 “Ban Bossy” campaign (“禁用专横”运动). This campaign encourages young girls to become leaders and stay ‎ confident in the face of being called “bossy”.‎ Laila Farah, from DePaul University, US, says she believes this stereotype comes from history. “There is an old idea that girls are not as clever as boys,” Farah says. “There is also another very old idea that women act according to their feelings.”‎ ‎“Gender (性别) stereotypes come from nearly everywhere,” Farah says. “It’s is learned when people were babies, from the toys chosen, to saying girls aren’t good at math.”‎ In a study done by the Girls Leadership Institute, many girls said that the biggest thing holding them back from taking part in class was getting judged (评判). Girls learn to keep their ideas and leadership skills to themselves.‎ Maybe instead of never using the word bossy, we need to forget the idea that being bossy is a bad thing. At the end of the day, bossy people get the job done. ‎ ‎36. Which of the following shows the gender stereotypes from someone in class?‎ A. Speaking up again. B. Rolling one’s eyes. C.

The castle was built in the 9th century and has interested thousands of visitors every year. But part of it broke after a heavy rain, so the castle needed a big repair. However, the result didn’t turn out well. The castle became a totally modern building!‎ ‎“The building has nothing to do with what it used to be, or even with a medieval (中世纪的) castle,” criticized (批评) the Spanish cultural heritage group (文化遗产组织) Hispania Nostra. People across the world have been laughing about it online too. “How terrible!” “They’ve got builders rather than repairers.” “No words are needed when you see the pictures.”‎ The leader of the repair said that he wanted to make sure the building stayed standing. Facing the criticism, he also added, “Opinions are always welcome.”‎ ‎46. Where did the story happen?‎ ‎47. When was the castle built?‎ ‎48. Why did the castle need a big repair?‎ ‎49.

Debbie gave her a cheerful greeting.‎ Simon sighed and walked away. ‎ ‎“What’s the matter?” Mr. Yang asked.‎ ‎“People always choose Debbie instead of me. I don’t understand.” ‎ ‎“I do. It’s the way you communicate.” ‎ ‎“How can that be?” Simon asked. (B) “I don’t get a chance to speak.” ‎ ‎“Communicating is more than just speaking. Your body language is important, too.” ‎ ‎“Body language?” ‎ ‎“It’s the way (C) you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expression on your face. Your whole appearance communicates things. You don’t give people a good impression, Simon. You look down, you never smile and you don’t turn your head towards them. ”‎ ‎“Look at Debbie. She’s holding her head up. She always smiles and looks friendly. Her body language is making people feel welcome, so they go to her for help.” ‎ Simon decided to improve his body language.

In other (C) ______, such as China and Britain, music class is not thought to be as important as classes like science, math and history.
