The other day I wrote an email to another classmate, Beth, in which I said something about Joan that perhaps wasnt very nice. Unluckily, when Beth was writing back to me, she sent it to Joan163.com, which is Joans email address! Now Joan is really angry with me and wont talk to me, and Beth is unhappy as well. She has said sorry to me a hundred times already, but the harm is done. I feel bad, because I never would have said those things to Joans face, but how do I get her to forgive(谅解) me?

Scientists wanted to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten different kinds of breakfast.The results show that if a person eats a right breakfast, he or she will work better. If a student has fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly in class.The result is opposite to what some people think.

There has been a lot of talk about Chinese bicycle sharing recently. Shared bikes are nowadays becoming the centre of attention in our We Chat friend circle. Many of our friends post photos of themselves riding bikes, especially during the weekend in natural parks, and we can see people logging in and out of shared bike apps. But are people really drawn to(被.所吸引) the idea of exercise and green transportation all of a sudden?Some people have tried Mobikes lately, and they dont particularly like Mobikes. They think the first generation Mobikes, the ones without baskets, are designed for athletes. They are very hard to ride, and the seat is not adjustable(可调节的). Then, they tried the yellow ofo bikes. They are easier to ride than Mobikes, but they dont usually have baskets, and you need to enter the password by hand, instead of scanning a QR code and having the lock open automatically like with Mobikes.We appreciate that there are shared bikes on the roads. They have saved us a lot of time during emergency situations. And on beautiful, clear days, we do enjoy riding them outside the city. But from what weve seen in our friend circles, people have been giving them endless praises, while we still saw some obvious flaws (缺陷).In our experience, there has never been a unanimous(一致的) decision on anything in public opinion. It makes us wonder whether these people really like riding shared bikes or are just saying this to agree with others. When we asked them individually, a friend of us, Lisa, secretly told us she tried the bikes to fit in(融人朋友圈). She doesnt like bikes and finds citys roads too harsh for bike riding. But the only way to hang out with her friends was riding out of town together. To join in social activities, she had to pick up bike riding again. Another young man, Simon admitted that he started talking about and forwarding information(转发信息) on shared bikes to appear cool and fashionable to friends. He started paying attention when Mobikes firs launched(推出). These views will give us something new to think about when we ride these bikes again.（1）Are shared bikes very popular in our cities nowadays? （2）You dont have to scan a QR code when using Mobikes, do you? （3）What do you need to do when you want to ride a ofo bike? （4）Why did Lisa sometimes ride a shared bike? （5）How did Simon show his coolness and fashion to his friends? （6）Why do many people like to ride shared bikes? 七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)10. （5分）假如你叫Gin，你是一名中学生，Jenny是你的好朋友。请根据以下表格的信息介绍一下Jenny。要求字数不少于50词，可适当发挥。(注意：文中不可出现真实的人名和班级名称） NameJenny BrownPhone234-7869QQ4754899FamilymemberFather(teacher)/Mother(doctor医生)Two brothers (students in a middle school)第 15 页 共 15 页参考答案一、 完形填空 (共1题；共10分)1-1、二、 阅读理解 (共4题；共36分)2-1、2-2、2-3、2-4、3-1、3-2、3-3、3-4、3-5、4-1、4-2、4-3、4-4、4-5、5-1、5-2、5-3、5-4、三、 补全单词 (共1题；共10分)6-1、四、 选词填空 (共1题；共5分)7-1、7-2、7-3、7-4、7-5、五、 语法填空 (共1题；共1分)8-1、六、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共30分)9-1、9-2、9-3、9-4、9-5、9-6、七、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)10-1、
