Since the age of nine, I have helped to look after my family's cows. As a child, in my free time, I enjoyed playing with electronics. I made my own inventions, such as electronic toys from car parts and other things. I also built other electronic devices(仪器) for my neighbors. At the age of 13, I invented something that changed my life. It also changed the lives of many 2 people in my community. One night, a lion from the park came into my family's farm and killed one of our cows. I was angry. However, killing the lion, I thought, was not the best way to solve the problem. Instead, I decided to invent a solution. The first idea I got was to use fire, because I thought lions were scared of fire. But I came to realize that didn't really help, because it was even helping the lions to see through the cowshed(牛棚). So I didn't give up. I continued. And a second idea I got was to use a scarecrow(稻草人). I was trying to trick the lions into thinking that I was standing near the cowshed. But lions are very clever. They will come the first day and they see the scarecrow, and they go back. But the second day, they'll come and they say, this thing is not moving here, it is always here!

Passage 2 [2019·天津改编] There are many ways to help improve your health like eating healthy food, taking exercise and getting medical help. But the easiest and cheapest way to improve your health is just to sleep eight 3 hours or more every night. The general sleeping rule is that the younger you are, the longer sleep you need. But regardless of(不管) age, some people need to sleep more while for some a few hours is enough. The problem with sleep is that more and more people in the world are not sleeping enough. According to the World Health Organization, over half the people in the world may be sleep-deprived. Having less sleep not only makes people feel tired but also causes accidents. In the United States alone, sleepy drivers cause at least 100,000 traffic accidents a year. Also sleep problems can cause medical problems such as high blood pressure(血压). Why are so many people sleep-deprived? Part of the reasons may be cultural. In the American culture, people put a higher value on work than on sleep. In fact, people who sleep a lot are usually seen as “lazy”. Also, you can sometimes hear some people say proudly that they don't have much time to sleep, they only sleep four or five hours a night. It seems that the less you sleep, the more work you'll do. How do we teach these people to learn the value of sleep? Perhaps they may listen to the advice of Dr. James Maas, an expert(专家) in sleep. He says, “Sleep is like a credit(信用) card. When you sleep less, you are only borrowing time. You always have to pay it back. The more hours you don't sleep, the more hours you should sleep to ‘pay back’ the hours on your ‘sleep credit card’.” For those who value work more than sleep, they should listen to what a famous person once said, “Don't think you will be doing less work because you sleep during the night. That is a foolish(愚 蠢的) idea which is held by people who have no imagination. You will be able to do more.” 5.According to the writer, the easiest and cheapest way to improve health is to . ( ) A.eat healthy food every day B.take exercise as much as possible C.get medical help whenever necessary D.sleep eight hours or more every night 6.What does “sleep-deprived” mean in Paragraph 2? ( ) A.Having a good sleep. B.Excited about sleep. C.Having less sleep. D.Interested in sleep. 7.According to Dr. James Maas, what is sleep like? ( ) 4 A.An hour. B.A report. C.A credit card. D.A piece of paper. 8.What do the words of the famous person mean in Paragraph 5? ( ) A.Sleeping during the night is foolish. B.Sleeping during the night is helpful. C.People have no courage. D.People always do less work. 9.What is the best title of the passage? ( ) A.The Value of Sleep B.The Value of Study C.The Ways of Eating Less D.The Ways of Making Money Ⅲ. 任务型阅读 下面文章中共有 5 处(第 1—5 题)需要添加首句。请从以下选项(A、B、C、D、E 和 F)中选出符合各段意 思的首句。选项中有一项是多余选项。 Even if you think that your parents cannot understand you at times, loving your parents is a normal and satisfying part of life. You love them for the fact that they created you, and raised you. Here are some ways to love your parents. 1. A gentle “good morning” and “I love you” will warm the coldest heart every morning. Remember that they brought you into this world. Without your parents, you might still wander at an unknown corner in an unknown world. 2.
