完形填空 先通读下面的短文，掌握其大意，然后从下面四个答案中选择可以填入相应空白处的最佳答案。
My mother used to say things just to make me      . Like most teenagers, I thought I knew      . And what I didn’t know, I didn’t want to      . For example, if I said I was going to a movie, my mother would roll（转动）her eyes. On my way out, she’d shout: “You need to slow yourself down before something        happens! You don’t want to learn that the hard way!” I didn’t know what that      . I thought she just wanted me to stay home.
Many years later I had three teenagers       my own. They thought they knew everything. I would say the same things to them       my mom. That’s when I first saw it. My mother wasn’t trying to make me stay at home. She was trying to help me.
Why do we always have to learn things “the hard way”? Why can’t we just accept our          wisdom? It’s a good lesson for anyone. Obviously(显然)，I still haven’t learned it. Yesterday, I stepped out of the shower when I heard my cell phone           in the kitchen. Grabbing(抓) a towel, I ran         the house. I grabbed the phone and hit my left foot against the table. The X-ray showed that I’d broken two toes.
We all need to slow ourselves down once in a while, before something bad does it for us. My mother was right about a lot of things. I wish I could have told her.

A．mad B．happy C．worried D．warm

A．nothing B．everything C．something D．anything

A．tell B．be told C．ask D．be asked

A．bad B．good C．well D．badly

A．mean B．means C．meant D．meaning

A．at B．in C．on D．of

A．like B．likes C．liked D．liking

A．elder B．elders C．elders’ D．elderly

A．ring B．rings C．rang D．ringing

A．over B．on C．through D．across

In America, street dancing is a great outdoor sport for young people to do with a group of friends. Many people bring their radios out onto the streets, and then wait for others to join in.
Step 1:     Also wear comfortable running shoes that allow (允许) you to jump easily. Dancing needs a lot of movements, so it is smart to take care of your feet.
Step 2: Get some music that you can dance to and bring a radio or a CD player.
Step 3: Invite some friends to street dance. Put some music on and start dancing to it. Use your feet as much as possible and make quick movements.
Step4:     This will make others start street dancing.
Step5:     Street dancing is all about free-style dancing. You can enjoy yourself while getting exercise by street dancing.
Put the following sentences into the correct blanks.
A. Put your arms up to the right, and then move them quickly to the left while turning your body.
B. Wear comfortable clothes.
C. Try different movements if possible.

To write a great news story, you have to make sure it is correct, relevant and fresh.
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that appear in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble. For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn’t the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story is not only correct, but also relevant to its readers. People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them. That is why you care more about what happens at your school than at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don’t talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.
Finally, news must always be fresh. When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don’t want to read about news from last week!
So, now you know what makes a good news story. Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news. You can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.
What is the meaning of the underlined word “relevant”.

According to the writer, newspapers in Wuxi should talk about news in ________.

Which of the following is true?

“He could have lived on his good looks, but instead he chose to live on talent and hard work.” This is how Internet users praised Chinese swimmer Ning Zetao.
On Aug 6, the 22-year-old won the 100-meter freestyle at the 2015 FINA Swimming World Championships in Russia. He was the first Asian to ever achieve this. Overnight the 191-cm-tall, handsome young man became the nation’s hero. Ning didn’t let the sudden fame(名声) get to his head. He said he only saw “a slight change” in his life after winning.
“My life is full of changes and challenges,” he said . “I welcome them and am never afraid of them.” The first big change in Ning’s life came at 2009.At the time, he specialized(专攻) in breaststroke(蛙泳) and was successful. But he felt a sharp pain in his knee. He suffered(遭受痛苦) every time he practiced his kicks. When he was 16,the knee pain got worse, and he had to stop swimming the breaststroke. Then he switched(转换)to sprint freestyle swimming. Ning didn’t let the change bring him down. Instead, he took advantage of it and became one of the best freestyle swimmers. Last year, he won four gold medals in freestyle races at the Incheon Asian Games in South Korea.
What is the next change Ning would like to see in his life? He said he wants to improve on his English. “English will help me communicate with foreign coaches and compete in the world games in the future.” Obviously Ning has high expectations for himself at the Rio Olympics next year. We wish him good luck.
The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 means_________.

What is Ning’s first big change in his life?

The best title of the article is ______________.

TOKYO, JAPAN – What do you do when you see a cockroach (蟑螂)? Do you hit it with a newspaper? Do you step on it?
When researchers at Tokyo University see a cockroach, they take the remote control and make the cockroach turn around, run left or right, or go forward. These scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots（机器人）. Each cockroach has a very small packet that has in it a microprocessor (微处理器). Then researchers can send signals (信号) from the remote control to the packet. The signals control the movements of the cockroaches.
Why does anyone want to control a cockroach? “Insects can do many things that people can’t,” says Isao Shimoyama, head of robot research at Tokyo University. In a few years, he says, these robot insects will carry very small cameras. They will be able to move through earthquake rubble (瓦砾) to look for people or move under doors to find information about someone.
This may seem strange, but the Japanese government thinks the research is very important. The government is giving the scientists $ 5 million for this research.
First, the research keeps hundreds of cockroaches. They use only the American cockroach because it is bigger and stronger than other cockroaches. Then they choose the best cockroaches and remove their wings and antennae (触须). They put small packets where the antennae were. The packets weigh about three grams, or about two times the weight of the cockroaches themselves. “Cockroaches are very strong,” says Ralph Holzer, who is a researcher at Tokyo University. “They can lift 20 times their own weight.”
With a remote control, the scientists send signals to the packets. When a cockroach gets the signal, it moves. The problem is that the cockroaches don’t always move in the right direction.
The scientists are changing the cockroaches into robots because _________.

Scientists control cockroaches’ movements _________.

What can cockroaches do to help people?

What problem do the cockroaches meet with?

任务型阅读,阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格限填一词)。
Some rays (光线) of sunlight are harmful to our eyes. Even on cloudy days, the sun’s rays can still damage (损害) our eyes . Besides ,damage to our eyes comes from other things as well, such as reflection (反射),especially when we are around water, sand, or even snow.
This is the reason why people who often go out wear sunglasses for protection. It is advised that we wear sunglasses whenever we are outdoors during the day. Some people may wonder, though, how sunglasses protect our eyes.
The secret is that the coating (涂层) and the lenses(镜片) are used. Sunglasses are tinted (染色) with various colors; each color tint is used to prevent a certain type of light. With coating, UVB rays are unable to pass through the lenses. The coating and the special design of the lenses can help greatly to protect our eyes from harmful rays.
Moreover, sunglass lenses are designed with an anti-reflective coating to reduce reflection from water and snow. This reflection prevention is good to drivers and people who take part in water and snow sports.
On the market, there are lots of sunglasses that are not of good quality, which not only have no effect(作用) on protecting our eyes from harmful rays, but can also do more damage to our eyes. Therefore, when you buy sunglasses, you should ask the person who is selling them whether the sunglasses are of a good quality. If they say they do not know, you should go to another store until you can find a shopkeeper that can tell you which pair offers the best protection. '
