Air pressure is a wonderful force. When you swim underwater, you can feel water push down your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earths surface.The following experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised(监督), because you will need to use matches. Now for the experiment！What you need:A hard-boiled egg without the shellA bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the eggA piece of paperA match (火柴)Method:1） Check that the paper will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.2） Tear the paper into strips(条状) and put the strips into the bottle.3） Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.4） Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.Result:Astonishingly, the egg will be sucked(吸) into the bottle. Your friends will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen（air）in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal(密封垫) in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure inside the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air pressure against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! This proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it.21. Why is there the need to take care when you are doing the experiment? A. The bottle could break. B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled. D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.22. In the experiment, the burning inside the bottle can_.A. equalize the air pressure inside and outside B. make a seal in the neck of the bottleC. finish up the oxygen inside the bottle D. produce more oxygen inside the bottle23. How was the egg put into the bottle？A. The oxygen inside the bottle sucked the egg in.B. It became soft without the shell.C. The neck of the bottle was wide enough.D. The outside air pressure forced it into the bottle. BA new study of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love(早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression(抑郁). The study shows that girls bee more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They wont tell that to their parents.Dr.Marianm Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression-eating or mood changes-and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to bee weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity(成熟) gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.24. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Romance is a two-edged sword(剑) for adults.B. Parents should forbid their childrens love.C. Romance is good for young people.D. Puppy love may bring young people depression.25. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.B. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.D. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.26. What can be inferred from the passage?A. The older a woman is, the less likely she seems to feel depressed in romance.B. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.27. Whats the authors attitude towards puppy love?A. confused B. negative C. positive D. scaredCThere have been a large number of interesting stories about famous people, some of whom are well-known writers. These anecdotes(趣闻) may mostly be coined stories about some famous writers, who themselves were good at making up stories. Although these jokes concerning famous names might not necessarily be true, they often make people burst into laughter and feel relaxed. Here are two of such anecdotes.Arthur Conan Doyle, the famous British author of detective (侦探) stories, once came to Paris. He hired a taxi at the railway station to go to the hotel.What hotel would you like to go to, Mr. Conan Doyle? asked the taxi driver.The writer was greatly surprised. How do you know my name? he asked.Well, sir, its simple, answered the driver. The other day I read in the newspapers that you would probably visit Paris. Then I noticed that your suit was made of good English tweed.Wonderful! said Dr. Conan Doyle. You are a born detective!Thank you, Sir, the taxi driver replied, smiling. But another fact also helped me to identify you.What is it? asked the writer.You see, your name is written on your luggage.Another anecdote was about Mark Twain, the famous American writer, who was at one time traveling in France. Once he was going by train to Dijon. That afternoon he was very tired and wanted to sleep. He therefore asked the conductor to wake him up when they came to Dijon. But first he explained that he was a very heavy sleeper. Ill probably look very angry and may protest loudly when you try to wake me up, he said to the conductor. But pay no attention to that. Ignore whatever I might say and do to you, and just put me off the train anyway.When Mark Twain woke up, the train had long passed Dijon and was already in Paris. The angry writer ran up to the conductor and said, Ive never been so angry in all my life.The conductor looked at him calmly. You are not half as angry as the American whom I put off the train at Dijon, he said. At this, Mark Twains anger melted(融化), turning into embarrassment.28 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word coined?A. made-up. B. true C. expensive D. cheap29. The taxi driver recognized Dr. Conan Doyle because_.A. the driver himself was an excellent detectiveB. Dr. Conans suit was made of English tweedC. the driver had seen his picture in the newspapers D. what was written on the writers luggage had given it away30. We can know that the taxi driver must_.A. be very good at guessing. B. have read the latest newspapersC. be a very humorous person.D. have seen Dr. Conan Doyle before31. It can be implied from the passage that_.A. Mark Twain never knew he would get angry when his sleep was interruptedB. Mark Twain got on the train again at Dijon, sleepy and angryC. the conductor forgot to wake up Mark Twain at DijonD. Mark Twain was a man with bad mannersDStephen Hawking, the brilliant British theoretical physicist who published wildly popular books exploring the mysteries of the universe, has died, according to a family spokesman. He was 76.Considered by many to be the worlds greatest living scientist, Hawking was also a cosmologist, astronomer, mathematician and author of numerous books including the landmark “A Brief History of Time,” which has sold more than 10 million copies.With fellow physicist Roger Penrose, Hawking bined Einsteins theory of relativity with quantum theory(量子理论) to suggest that space and time would begin with the Big Bang and end in black holes. He also discovered that black holes were not pletely black but emit(释放) radiation and would likely eventually evaporate(蒸发) and disappear. “It will be difficult enough to avoid disasters on planet Earth in the next 100 years, let alone next thousand, or million. The human race shouldnt have all its eggs in one basket or on one plant. Lets hope we can avoid dropping the basket until we have spread the load.”Hawking suffered from ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a disease which is usually fatal(致命的) within a few years. He was diagnosed in 1963, when he was 21, and doctors initially gave him only a few years to live. The disease left Hawking wheelchair-bound and paralyzed. He was able to move only a few fingers on one hand and was pletely dependent on others or on technology for everything-bathing, dressing, eating, even speech. “I have been lucky that my condition has progressed more slowly than is often the case. But it shows that one need not lose hope.” Dramatically, he even guest-starred(客串) in the “Star Trek”, “The Simpsons” and the xx movie “The theory of Everything”.Hawking leaves behind three children and three grandchildren. “We are deeply saddened that our beloved father passed away today,” Hawkings children, Lucy, Robert and Tim, said in a statement. “He was a great scientist and an extraordinary man whose work and legacy will live on for many years. His courage and persistence with his brilliance and humor inspired people across the world. “We will miss him forever.”32. From the passage, we can learn that .A. Hawking was diagnosed with the fatal disease since he was born.B. Hawking was once the main character in the movie and TV series.C. Hawking just published one book titled “A Brief History of Time”D. Hawking had to rely on other people and technology to do everything in life.33. Which of the following is NOT believed by Stephen Hawking?A. The space and time would end in black holes.B. Black holes are not exactly black in color.C. The disasters can be avoided in the next thousand or million years.D. Black holes can give off radiation and will disappear in the end.34. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. The humans should explore other planets to live.B. The humans should stay together to fight the disasters.C. The earth will be destroyed if humans continue to live hereD. No other planets can replace the earth as the living place.35. What would be the best title of the passage?A. A Star Just Went Out in the Cosmos(宇宙)B. The Achievements of Stephen HawkingC. Stephen Hawkings Suffering of the DiseaseD. The Predictions of the Great Man第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Pretend Youre Good at ItA while back. I met my pal Jenny, who was in town recording her biography. Lets Pretend This Never Happened. 36 She told me that it had been going horribly-until she reached out to her friend Neil for advice，When she asked Neil how he managed to record so many of his books while still sounding so cool and collected, his response came back almost immediately PRETEND YOURE GOOD AT IT. So she wrote his advice on her arm and went back into the recording studio. 37 And she was. She re-recorded the first chapter with her new words singing through her head. 38 Of course I was happy it worked for my friend Jenny, but other than that, I didnt think much about ii. But slowly, gradually, “Pretend youre good at it has worked its magic on me. I have long suffered from a serious mental disease. I needed something to help me get past my fears and head out into the world. 39 And it worked.Having a hard time getting up in the morning? Tell yourself that you are the best at getting up early. 40 Pretend youre good at it, and youll surprise yourself with how good you really are. However, “Pretend youre good at if” is not a substitute for actual training or an excuse to behave in a proud and unpleasant way, either.A. What would that look like?B. I asked her how it was going.C. I pretended, and my anxiety eased.D. So I turned to “pretend youre good at it”.E. She took a deep breath and pretended she was good at it.F. “Pretend youre good at it,” on the other hand, is more playful.G.
