B Many of us don't pay much attention to the importance of eye care．It is said that if you take care of your body，then you can surely be healthy．That is why our eyes should be given a lot of care．Natural eye care should be put in a number one place． There are several causes leading to poor eyesight like having not enough food，genes（基因）and aging（老化）．Televisions，computers and reading are also the causes of having poor eyesight．If you happen to work in front of the computer，it is best to take a break every once in a while．You must also try your best to protect your eyes from harmful things．For example，sunglasses are not just for fashion but they can also serve as a great way to protect your eyesight from UV rays． Eating healthy food will do good to your eyesight．Remember that vitamins A，C and E are good for eyes．Try to eat food groups that have these vitamins．And you should do eye exercises which can protect your eyesight，too． All above are natural ways of eye care that help us to keep healthy eyes．Being happy all the time can be helpful to a person's eyesight，too．In a word，eye care is very important，no matter how old a person is． 24.______ is the most important way to protect our eyes． A. Natural eye care　　　 B. Taking medicine C. Seeing the doctor D. Being happy all the time 25.All the following causes can lead to bad eyesight EXCEPT ______ ． A. aging B. height C. reading D. computers 26.What should you do if you have to work in front of the computer？ ______ A. Eat healthy food． B. Clean the eyes by using cold water． C. Wear a pair of sunglasses． D. Have a rest after working for a while． 27.Which is the best title of the passage？ ______ A. Ways of Eye Care B. Ways of Eye Exercises C. Ways of Being Happy D. Ways of Being Healthy． C Darwin noted that some human emotional expressions might have started as part of a physiological function：for example,exposing the teeth to bite food.The function,however， took on meaning and became a form of communication which signals anger． The same may be true for the animals． Baby monkeys cry for attention． They also cry to signal to an adult that they want to be carried． "Chimpanzees do make upset voice when they are being weaned （断奶） by their mothers or have lost their mothers or another individual，" says Anne Pusey， a professor at the University of Minnesota． "They whimper （呜咽） and cry and scream． When we hear these calls， the emotion involved seems obvious． However， they do not weep in the sense of producing tears． " The Iowan researchers can cause the same crying sounds by producing large decreases and then increases in blood flow． The blood flow also goes down when baby rats get cold． Thus， they conclude baby rats cry in the same way that we sneeze． Of course the rat baby could be crying because he's cold and wants his mother to know． 28.According to the first paragraph， what kind of emotion does "exposing the teeth" express？ ____ A. Disappointment． B. Excitement． C. Anger． D. Happiness． 29.Which is one probable reason why young chimpanzees might be crying？ ______ A. They meet their brother． B. They have nothing to eat． C. They are being breast-fed． D. They are parted from their mother． 30.Under what circumstance will baby rats cry just like humans' sneeze？ ______ A. Their blood flow is decreased． B. They feel cold and long for affection． C. Their blood flow is increased． D. Their mother brings them back home． 31.Where is the passage most likely taken from？ ______ A. An animal journal． B. A physiology book． C. A health magazine． D. A cultural newspaper． D It is common to see many different kinds of insects while spending time outside in the summer. Some of them do not trouble people and can even add beauty to the natural environment. Other insects can harm the environment or humans. The population of these insects seems to stay large and healthy. But scientists say this does not appear to be true for some flying insects that serve an important purpose. There is growing evidence that these insects are decreasing across the world. One researcher looking into the present insect population is Doug Tallamy, a professor at the University of Delaware. He remembers walking through Washington D. C., in the past when it was “alive with insects, especially butterflies”. Now, he said, “The flying insects are actually gone.” Wilson said this point seemed to be proved during a drive he made last year from Boston to Vermont. He was surprised that, during his trip, he counted only one insect that had hit the car’s front window. Several other scientists have carried out similar tests by checking how many insects hit their cars while traveling. While researchers admit this method is not scientific, they say it can still help them understand the changing flying insect population.There have not been many studies done on the flying insect populations covering large areas. However, some international research suggests a downward turn. In 2006, a group of studies showed that there had been a 14-percent drop in ladybugs(瓢虫) in the United States and Canada from 1987 to 2006. In Germany, a 2017 study found an 82-percent drop in the number of flying insects compared to levels recorded in 1990. After the German study, other countries also started looking into the problem. David Wagner of the University of Connecticut says other evidence leads him to believe the findings of the 2017 study are “clearly not a German thing”. 32.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to the fact that _________. A. The insects cause trouble to people. B. The insects harm the environment. C. The insects are numerous and healthy. D. The insects love staying indoors. 33.How does Wilson try to prove the flying insects are gone? A. By making some comparisons. B. By using his personal experience. C. By listing research results. D. By studying the causes. 34.What does David Wagner think of the 2017 German study? A. He considers the study isn’t done in German ways. B. He thinks it’s less believable than other evidence. C. He considers the German study is a good start. D. He thinks other places also have the problem. 35.In which section of a magazine may this text appear? A. Nature. B. Education. C. Entertainment. D. Health. 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 Proven Ways to Make a Good First Impression (印象) Want to be more memorable?

But there's a reason for this: this body position helps to reduce pressure. However, according to Erik Peper, a health professor at San Francisco State University, poor posture (姿势) may make our brains work not as well as they 62 (normal) do. Peper and a team of researchers 63 (study) 125 students' performance in a math test and their different postures. The team found that good posture—for example sitting up straight—could help people perform better 64 bad posture when they feel stressed. Another professor Richard Harvey further explained in Science Daily that sitting with bad posture might make us feel more 65 (comfort), but it actually increases our pressure levels. So the next time you have to take a test, try sitting upright and taking a deep 66 (breathe). If Peper's study is correct, this small change may have 67 great influence on you. There are many things 68 lead to poor posture. The good news 69 (be) that posture can be improved at any age by 70 (make) just a few simple corrections in the way one stands, sits and moves. 第四部分 写作 第一节 短文改错（共 10 小题，每小题 1 分，满分 10 分） 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有 10 处 语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线(＼)划掉。 修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意:(1)每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; (2)只允许修改 10 处,多者(从第 11 处起)不计分。 While visit France, we decided to do some shopping.

Dear Tom, How are you? Glad to tell you something about mobile payment in China. Mobile payment is most popular in China. It has made people's daily life more and more convenient. Most of us are used to paying by scanning QR codes. By mobile payment, we can pay easily wherever we go. You can buy breakfast on the street and pay by scanning with your smart phone. In the subway station, you scan with your smart phone to purchase your ticket. This is a glimpse into the life of most Chinese --- allowing us to bid farewell to the wallet and bank cards. Mobile payment has greatly changed people's lives in China. It seems that China is really leading in some ways and is also sweeping other nations. Looking forward to hearing from you. Yours, LiHua
