It was a small school of four classes, with about twenty-five children in each class according to age. For the most part, one teacher had to teach all subjects. However, sometimes the headteacher , Mr. Ronald Broaches would come in and spend an hour or so.He was a large man with a very happy nature. He had a sense of humor and would be glad in telling the children small stories which make us laugh.I found that he took great interest in me and he quickly found that I enjoyed puzzles. He would stop me as I was going to class and take a piece of paper out of his pocket, often with a puzzle on it. As time went on, they slowly gave me an interest in math and problem solving that stays with me to this day.To this day, I can remember Mr. Broaches cheerful cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem right. I shall always be thankful that our paths crossed.Mr. Bruoaches died just two weeks after I won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine. Unfortunately, I had no chance to speak to him before he died.

Whats up with ice-cream headaches? Here are answers to these and other questions about our bodies.Why do I get a headache when I eat ice cream too quickly?Scientists arent exactly sure what causes the brain freeze when we eat ice cream or other super cold foods too quickly, though some believe its the result of changed blood .flow in the nervous system. Blood vessels in the head tighten to stop the loss of body heat and then relax to let blood flow rise; that sudden rush of blood is what causes the headache. You can improve an ice-cream headache by rapidly rubbing your tongue across the roof of your mouth to help warm up things.What causes my stomach to make a low continuous noise when Im hungry?Actually, your stomach makes noise whether youre hungry or full; you just hear it more clearly when youre hungry. Think of your digestive tract(消化道)as a really long tube lined with smooth muscle tissue. These muscles move food, fluids and gas through your digestive tract. _. It can make you feel embarrassed(尴尬的)but is nothing to worry about.Why do I blush when Im embarrassed?When youre embarrassed, your brain releases a shot of adrenaline(肾上腺素), which makes your heart race and blood vessels become larger in size. All this happens to increase blood flow and oxygen delivery throughout the body in a fight-or-flight reaction(对抗反应). There are a lot of tiny blood vessels in your face, which turn noticeably redder from this sudden rush of blood. As for the actual function of blushing, researchers are still trying to find that one out.Why are yawns contagious?Have you ever yawned in front of someone, only to have them yawn right back? Its a common thing, but researchers dont have a good explanation for it. They do, however, know this happens only with humans and chimpanzees(黑猩猩). A bigger question puzzling scientists is why we yawn at all. It used to be thought that yawning showed that oxygen to the brain was not enough, but thats just a myth. A growing body of research now shows that yawning is natures way of keeping our brains cool.（1）What is the meaning of the underlined word tighten? A . 变松B . 变紧C . 变短D . 变长（2）Which of the following sentences can be filled in the blank? A . And thats what youre hearing when your stomach makes noise.B . And thats why youre so hungry when your stomach is emptyC . And thats what makes you feel uncomfortable when youre full.D . And thats how it makes a difference to your digestive tract.（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE? A . There is no way for you to improve an ice-cream headache.B . Researchers have found out the actual function of blushing.C . Your stomach makes noise only when you are hungry.D . Researchers dont have a good explanation for why yawns are contagious.（4）What is the best title of the passage? A . Some Interesting FactsB . Our Strange BodyC . Some Useful DiscoveriesD . Our Amazing Feelings14. （8分） For most people, the word “fashion” means “clothes”. But people may ask the question, “What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way:“She was wearing a fashionable coat. His shirt was really a fashionable color.”But of course there are fashions in many things, not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays, in restaurants, in films and books. There are even fashions in school subjects, jobsand in languages.Fashions change as time goes. If you look at pictures of people or things from the past, you will see that fashions have always changed. An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650. A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in 1860.Today fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspaper, radios, telephones and television send information from one country to another in a few hours. New fashions mean that people will buy new things, so you see there is money in fashion.（1）From this passage we know that “fashion” means _.A . clothesB . many thingsC . most of the popular thingsD . everything（2）Today fashions change very quickly because _.A . people read newspaper every dayB . radios send information from one country to anotherC . new things that people like are often shown on TVD . people quickly learn what is happening in the world（3）“There is money in fashion” means _.A . clothes are expensiveB . money comes from fashionC . people like new thingsD . fashions make big money（4）The best title for the passage is _.A .

Its almost impossible to see from a ship. But somewhere in the North Pacific is a huge island of garbage, just below the water surface.What is the island made of?The garbage island is not an island, but a collection of millions of plastic and other objects. The water movements of Pacific Ocean bring the objects together and cause them to go around in a big circle.Charles Moore found it in 1997 and named it “the Great Pacific Garbage Patch” .Where does all the plastic come from?Much of the garbage comes from everyday objects, such as shopping bags and water bottles. Some of these objects finally reach the ocean. Garbage from the western coast of North America takes about six years to reach it. Objects from East Asia take about a year. Other garbage comes from ships passing through the area.Is the Garbage Patch dangerous?The larger pieces of garbage are a problem for wildlife. For example, sea turtles（海龟）and seabirds often think the plastic is their food. They eat the plastic and die.In addition, the plastic stops sunlight from reaching deeper water. Without sunlight, very small sea animals die. Then, there is less food for larger fish to eat.What can we do to help stop it?Cleaning up the island isnt easy. But we can make people realize the problem. One environmentalist(环保主义者), David de Rothschild, is sailing around the world in boat made of plastic bottles to teach people about the problem of garbage in the sea.Another idea is that we can recycle the plastic garbage. Environmental engineer Cesar Harada is building a robot that collects pieces of plastic. Harada hopes to use his robot in the Pacific. Harada also has a website for reporting environmental problems. He says, “I hope everybody can become an environmental activist.”（1）What is the garbage made of? （2）How long does it take objects from East Asia to reach the island? （3）Is the garbage island dangerous? （4）Why is David de Rothschild sailing in bottle boat? （5）What can you do to help stop garbage island? 九、 书面表达 (共1题；共5分)32. （5分）假设你是高山，你的外教Mr.Smith相组织几名学生去一个学校进行一次助学和联谊活动。请参看以下信息，以书信的形式向Mr.Smith提出申请，说明你打算如何开展这次活动并陈述理由。能力计划善于交流相处融洽爱好，例如组织活动英语口语好帮助学习英语，如注意：1. 表达中必须包括所给要点， 适当发挥，不要简单翻译。2. 词数80左右。开头已经写好，不计入总词数。3. 表达中请勿提及真实校名及姓名。Dear Mr.SmithIm so excited to know that our school has an activity to help the kids in a school.
