At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average(中等)，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.What made these average students change so much to become top students？The only difference was the change in their teachersattitude(态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students，they expected(期望) more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.Do you know why? If you expect the best from people, theyll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, Treat(对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and youll make him even worse. But treat a person like hes already a success，and youll help make him the best he can be.Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said，Johnny，youre the naughtiest(最顽皮的) boy in this class. Im sure youll never change. The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class，she met with Johnny after school and said，Johnny, Ive heard a lot about you! But do you know that I dont believe a word of it. And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because thats the power of our belief(信任) and attitude(态度) toward children.（1）The professor started his research(研究)by _.A . teaching the five children himselfB . asking the five children to find a new teacherC . telling the five students to work harder than ever beforeD . telling the teacher the five students were the best in the class（2）The five average students became top students mainly because of _.A . the professors studyB . the teachers hard workC . the change in the teachers attitudeD . the change in the professors attitude（3）Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny？A . To let us know how good his new teacher was.B . To show the importance of encouragement.C . To show that the boy was clever enough.D .

Many people have felt the same thing.In fact, these muscle twitches (肌肉抽搐) in the arms, legs or other parts of the body are called hypnic jerks (入睡抽动) or sleep starts. And they are very common. Up to 70 percent of people experience them sometimes, Huffington Post reported. But what causes it?There are some theories(理论). Some scientists believe that the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itself, especially if the person is anxious or unable to get comfortable. As youre about to sleep, your muscles become relaxed. But your brain stays awake. It misunderstands the relaxing of your muscles as a sign that youre falling. Then the brain jerks the body awake as if its trying to protect you.Other scientists believe that different phases of sleep might cause the hypnic jerks. When we sleep, we experience two phases: non-rapid eye movement (NREM) and rapid eye movement (REM). During REM, our heart rate (心率), breathing and nervous system can act irregularly (不规律地). If the body experiences flashes (一瞬间) of REM while entering sleep, these irregularities could cause twitches.If you dont want to experience hypnic jerks, scientists have some suggestions. When you become deeply relaxed, you can learn how to reconnect slowly by moving your fingers and toes a little bit. Then start to move your head and open your eyes, while being aware of yourself as you get out of the relaxed state.But experts agree that hypnic jerks, though sometimes scary, are harmless. If it wakes you up, simply roll over and go back to sleep. But keep in mind: a caffeinated (含咖啡因的) drink, exciting evening activities or stress may make hypnic jerks happen more often.（1）_ of people dont experience hypnic jerks.A . About 30 percentB . About 40 percentC . 60 percentD . 70 percent（2）The third paragraph mainly tells us _A . there are all kinds of theories about hypnic jerks B . the feeling of falling comes from the body relaxing itselfC . different phrases of sleep might cause hypnic jerksD . people sometimes get anxious or uncomfortable（3）From the fourth paragraph, we learn that_A . hypnic jerks take place during NREM B . we experience three phases of sleepC . our nervous system acts regularly during REMD . our heart rate acts irregularly during REM（4）How many theories on what causes hypnic jerks are mentioned?A . TwoB . ThreeC . FourD . Five（5）Which of the following can not make hypnic jerks happen more often?A . Drinking caffeinated drinkB . Playing basketball for a long timeC . Reading a book quietlyD . Too much stress（6）The passage is about_.A . the experience of hypnic jerksB . the feeling of falling while going to sleepC . the causes of hypnic Jerks?D . sleeping is good for our health20. （8分）阅读下面四篇材料，然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。Every 14 days, another language dies. There are many reasons for this. Some people think more common languages have more economic(经济的) if power. Because of this, young people choose to learn a common language as they think it is more useful. Another reason is that some languages arent written down. Guujaaw is a leader of the Haida Nation, whose people have lived on the Queen Charlotte Islands, Canada, for more than 10,000 years. Their language is endangered. Traditionally, it wasnt written down, and, as a result, some people are worried that it will die one day. Guujaaw replies to this, We talk to each other, listen, visit and believe in the spoken word. Expressing yourself without writing is natural. However, if Guujaaws language and others like it are going to stay alive, writing may have to become part of their lives.When a language dies, a lot of knowledge dies with it. To begin with, language is a huge part of the culture of the people who speak it. Language allows speakers to say certain things: words that describe a cultural idea may not translate exactly into another language. Furthermore, many endangered languages have rich spoken cultures. Stories, songs and histories are passed on from older people to younger generations(一代). Elizabeth Lindsey, an expert in languages, emphasizes(强调) this. When an elder dies, a library is burned, she says.Also, language death affects our knowledge about nature. Local people often have a deep understanding of plants, animals, and the relationship between them. David Harrison, a researcher on endangered languages, reflects, 80% of plant and animal species(物种)have been undiscovered by science. But that doesnt mean theyre unknown to humans.Many languages are endangered. However, its not too late. Children often grow up speaking two languages“ No one becomes richer by giving up one language to learn another，” Harrison said. If children feel both languages are important, they will use both. So, it is necessary that children realize how useful their local language is.（1）How many reasons are mentioned for endangered languages in Paragraph 1? A . 2B . 3C . 4D . 5（2）In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us _. A . how cultures are passed onB . how cultures are discoveredC . why languages are written downD . why languages are important to cultures（3）The underlined word affects in the passage means _. A . waits forB . depends onC . is different fromD . has an influence on（4）Which of the following is the writers opinion? A . People need to use common languages more often.B . The spoken word is more important than the written word.C . Children are the hope to stop the local language from dying.D . Many animals and plants are in danger because of dying languages.21. （8分）阅读理解Since ancient times, human beings have looked up at the night sky. Comets (彗星) and meteors (流星) flying through the blackness were seen as signs from the gods. They were used to tell the future of human lives.In 2013, a meteorite shower hit an area in Russia. It injured around 1,200 people. In ancient times, this would have been a strange and terrible experience. Today, thought, science offers simple explanations for the occurrence (事件).Meteorites are small pieces of debris (碎片) that float around in space. Sometimes, they come near a planet, such as Earth. When they enter our atmosphere, they often heat up and become very bright. This is why they are sometimes called “fireballs”. They are usually made of metals, such as iron (铁), and other minerals (矿物). The Russian meteorites were stony, with iron making up 10 percent of them.Meteorite showers, such as that in Russia, happen when a large meteor enters the Earths atmosphere and, due to heat, breaks up into small parts. Most of these are very small smaller than a grain of sand and so dont even make it to the ground. But others can cause a lot of damage.The meteor in Russia weighed 10 tons when it entered our atmosphere, and broke up about 20-30 miles (30-50 km) above ground. The sky was filled with bright lights and loud noises. Many windows were broken. The damage cost Russia around 206 million yuan.（1）What did people in ancient times think when they saw a meteorite shower? A . It was a wonderful sight.B . It was common in nature.C . They respected it as a god.D . They felt puzzled and scared.（2）Which of the following is NOT true about meteorites? A . They float around in space.B . They often heat up when entering Earth.C . There are fires around them.D . They are usually made of metals.（3）When a large meteor comes into the Earths atmosphere, _. meteorite showers happen it breaks up into small pieces it falls to the ground as whole it seldom causes serious damageA . B . C . D . （4）Which topic does the story NOT talk about? A . How meteorite showers happen.B . How to stop meteorite showers.C . The meteorites in Russia.D . The damage meteorites can cause.五、 语法填空。 (共1题；共1分)22. （1分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。Humans _（pollute） the earth all the time and there is not enough clean air and water六、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)23. （5分）以下是Jack下周末的活动计划，请根据表中的信息描述他下周末的活动。Date(日期)Saturday morningSaturday afternoonSaturday eveningActivitiesdo my homeworkclean the roomgo to the libraryDateSunday morningSunday afternoonSunday eveningActivitiesplay footballhelp my mumwatch TV要求：1. 应包含表格所有内容，可适当扩展，字数60词左右；2. 短文的开头已给出，不计入总词数；3. 不得出现真实姓名和学校名称。Jack is going to have a busy weekend.第 15 页 共 15 页参考答案一、 词汇测试。选出可以替换划线部分的最佳选项。 (共8题；共16分)1-1、2-1、3-1、4-1、5-1、6-1、7-1、8-1、二、 选出恰当的词语完成句子。 (共7题；共14分)9-1、10-1、11-1、12-1、13-1、14-1、15-1、三、 完形填空。 (共1题；共10分)16-1、四、 阅读理解。 (共5题；共46分)17-1、17-2、17-3、17-4、18-1、18-2、18-3、18-4、18-5、19-1、19-2、19-3、19-4、19-5、19-6、20-1、20-2、20-3、20-4、21-1、21-2、21-3、21-4、五、 语法填空。 (共1题；共1分)22-1、六、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)23-1、
