Playing too many video games is a problem for kids and there are many signs that show the negative(消极的) influences. If young people are always thinking about when they can play a video game, that is a sign that they have lost themselves in it. If they give up other hobbies that they used to love, that is also a problem. Many kids who choose to spend all their free time playing video games will make up ways to play the game instead of communicating with others. Leaving sports teams or clubs, refusing to go outside to play with friends, and choosing to stay home from birthday parties are all signs that video games have taken over the childs attention. In addition to negative behaviours, there are health problems from playing too many video games. If video game players skip meals or lose sleep because they stayed up too late playing games, this can negatively influence their health. Sitting in front of a game for more than two hours a day instead of getting up and being active can result in childhood obesity(肥胖症). Moreover, backaches, headaches and strained(紧张的) eyes can be caused by playing too many video games. （1）The writer thinks _ is a problem for kids that causes negative influences.

If you notice the animals, the sky and the world around, you can predict weather on your own.Examine the moon or sun, but do not look at the sun directl or it will hurt your eyes seriously. If you see a ring around the sun or moon, then warm weather follows. A golden ring around the moon warns us that a storm is on the way. A watery yellow sunset is a sign that rain may be near. Feel the direction of the wind. A wind blowing from the east shows that a storm will probably happen. A wind from the west means a sunny day. Monitor the clouds. There are three things about clouds you should look for: movement, color, and change. As a rule , the higher the clouds, the better the weather. And the lower the clouds , the worse the weather will be.The rainbow has a message, too. If you see the sun in the east and a rainbow in the west, the rain may be coming your way. If the sun is in the west and the rainbow is in the east, the rain will be moving away from you. Look at your shoes as you walk through the grass in the morning. If the grass is wet with dew (露珠), then you can expect dry weather. But if the grass is dry, then it will be wise of you to take your umbrella.（1）The underlined word “predict probably means” “ in the passage.

But why is it that some people could find their way across the Sahara without a map while others can lose themselves in the next street?Scientists say were all born with a sense of direction, but it is not properly understood how it works. One theory(理论) is that people with a good sense of direction have simply worked harder at developing it. Research being carried out at Liverpool University supports this idea and suggests that if we dont use it, we lose it.“Children as young as seven have the ability to find their way around,” says Jim Martland, research director of the project. “However, if they are not allowed out alone or are taken everywhere by car, they never develop the skills.”Jim Martland also emphasizes that young people should be taught certain skills to improve their sense of direction. He makes the following suggestions:If you are using a map, turn it to the way you are facing.If you leave your bike in a strange place, put it near something like a big stone or a treesomething easy to recognize(辩认). Note landmarks(地标) on the route as you go away from your bike. When you return, go back along the same route.The simple way of finding your direction by using lines such as streets in a town, streams, or wells in the countryside to guide you. Count your steps so that you know how far you have gone and note any landmarks such as tall buildings or hills which can help to find out where you are.Now you will never get lost again!（1）Children have the ability to find the way around when they are _ years old. A . 5B . 6C . 7D . 8（2）Which of the following things cannot be used as landmarks? A . Tall buildings.B . Hills.C . Wells.D . Bikes.（3）What does the underlined word “emphasize” mean in the passage?

A . some babies are born with a sense of directionB . people learn a sense of direction as they grow olderC . people never lose their sense of directionD . everybody has a sense of direction from birth（5）What may be the best title of the passage? A . A research on direction.B . The sense of direction.C . Peoples ability of finding the way.D . Scientists research on skills.7. （8分）阅读理解Okay to Eat?At least 50% of U.S. adults have eaten food off the floor. Thats according to a 2017 Harris Poll. Many people use the five-second rule. The rule says that fallen food is safe to eat if it has been on the floor for less than five seconds. Can people really use the five-second rule to save a dropped sandwich? Or should they throw it and make a fresh one?Donald Schaffner is a professor of food science. His study shows that the five-second rule should not always be used. In his 2016 report, he says its not wise to eat dropped wet food. The wet food takes in bacteria (细菌 ) as soon as it falls. Bacteria dont have legs, they move with the moisture, Schaffner says. The wetter the food is, the more bacteria it soaks up(吸收) .Anthony Hilton studied the five-second rule too. He is a professor of Life and Health Sciences.Hilton found that a dry food on the floor collects fewer bacteria than a wet food. Hilton also found that carpeted floors pass fewer bacteria than wood floors. Still, one should be careful. Food that is on the floor is never completely risk-free to eat, he says. But if you drop a dry food in your house, its usually okay if you pick it up very quickly. Most clean homes dont have bad bacteria.Should you eat food that was dropped on the kitchen counter? Dr. Steven Dowshen is a doctor for children. He says that floors are not the only place that can make food unsafe to eat. Kitchen counters can contain more harmful bacteria, Dowshen told TFK. This is because raw foods sometimes have bad bacteria called salmonella. These raw foods can be on kitchen counters. If people eat food off a surface that has salmonella, they can get very sick, says Dowshen.With the five-second rule, the type of food and the place where it falls matter. So perhaps use this e instead: When in doubt, throw it out.（1）Whats Donald Schaffners opinion about the five-second rule? A . The five-second rule should always be used.B . The drier the food is, the more bacteria it takes in.C . Its a good choice to eat the dropped wet food.D . The minute the wet food falls, it soaks up bacteria.（2）The underlined word risk-free probably means “ ”. A . deliciousB . dangerousC . safeD . easy（3）What can you infer from the passage? A . People should not eat a dropped sandwich on any places.B . People cannot eat food that is on the floor because of salmonella.C . People need to consider the type of the dropped food before eating.D . People should be careful about the food dropped on the kitchen counter.（4）Whats the writers purpose of writing the passage? A . To introduce the five-second rule to people.B . To encourage people to use the five-second rule.C . To show different peoples opinions about the five-second rule.D . To advise people to think twice before using the five-second rule.8. （8分）根据短文内容，选择正确答案。DThe brain is the boss of the body. Your eyes, ears, nose, and skin tell your brain what is going on around you. Other parts of your body tell your brain what is going on inside you. Your brain takes in the signals. It tells your body what to do with them. When you touch fire, your skin tells your brain that your finger is too hot. Your brain tells you to move your finger. All these happen very fast. Your brain also controls your breathing, blinking, and heartbeat. It becomes your feelings and thoughts too.Humans have the most developed brain of all animals. Yet it is not the largest brain. The human brain weights three pounds. The brain of an elephant weights 11 pounds. So the largest brain is not always the best brain. In people, a large brain does not mean a clever person.（1）What is the main idea of this story?A . The human brain works very hard.B . The largest brain is not always the best brain.C . The brain controls the body.D . The best brain is the largest brain.（2）What does “the boss of the body” mean?A . The signals.B . The most developed body part.C . The main part of the body.D .

Not too big brain.（4）What are the things that the human brain does?A . Takes in signals.B . Controls breathing.C . Controls feelings and thoughts.D . A, B and C.9. （10分） This is a picture of a classroom（教室）. You can see a teachers desk, five desks and six chairs. You can see a girl and a boy, too. Four English books are on the teachers desk.
