They saw Mr. Morse was collecting plastic, paper and\n\nmetal things. Marco stared at all the old things. “That gives me an idea!” he said, “Mr. Morse, do you have 24\n\nwe could use to make a basketball hoop?” Mr. Morse picked up a plastic laundry basket. “We are going to recycle\n\nthis basket, but I think you can take it.”\n\n“It looks 25 , old and broken. I want a new basketball hoop!” said Kim. “Why?” wondered Marco, “reusing\n\nthings is a great way to 26 waste. And don't you think that will be meaningful to make something on our own?”\n\n“That sounds interesting! I guess we can try,” said Kim, “but I still don't believe it will be as good as a new one.”\n\nThey took the basket to Marco's house and found some wood in an old yard. Together they tinkered（焊）with\n\nthe materials and made a post（柱）and a backboard. When all the parts were ready, they took everything to the 27\n\nand managed to set up the hoop.\n\n“It looks better than I thought it would!” said Kim, “Here's the real test!” He bounced the ball, aimed and shot a\n\nperfect basket. He was cheerful.\n\n“Wow, I was 28 just now!” Kim said. “This basketball hoop is really great. Now we can play 29 we\n\nwant!” The two friends played until dinner time.

When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, “What a\n\nbeautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.”\n\nThe rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns!”\n\n“What a proud flower!” thought the trees.\n\nAs the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is\n\nuseless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!”\n\nThe cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create any form of life\n\nwithout a purpose.” Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt (枯萎). One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine\n\ntree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.\n\n“The cactus has water?” asked the rose.\n\n“Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”\n\nThe red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help.

According to the story, which of the following is TRUE?\n\nA. The pine tree was jealous of(嫉妒) the red rose and said some bad words about her.\n\nB. The cactus refused to help the rose in the end.\n\nC. The birds put their beaks into the cactus to get something to eat.\n\nD. The rose realized she was wrong about the cactus.\n\n37. If you were a teacher, you would tell the story to the students who ________.\n\nA. make no effort to study\n\nB. judge anyone only by their appearance\n\nC. don't dare to speak in public\n\nD. often argue with others\n\nC\n\nA recent study from a team of South Korean researchers suggests that eating alone often may lead to poor\n\neating habits and poor food choices. Specifically, the study found that men who ate alone more than twice a week\n\nhad a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and other diseases.\n\nFor children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad results—it is also about developing\n\ngood ones.\n\nIn 2014, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) looked at data from nearly\n\nthree-quarters of the world’s countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with\n\nfamilies were less likely to skip school(逃学). Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely\n\nto use drugs and alcohol(吸毒酗酒).\n\nIn the report, named “The Importance of Family Dinners”, researchers say that “teens who have frequent\n\nfamily dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what’s going on in their lives”. They also say\n\nthat when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.\n\nAnother study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience\n\nlong-term physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer\n\nsugary soft drinks. These children also seemed to have better social skills and they were less aggressive(好斗的).\n\nProfessor Linda Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents “likely provide young children with\n\nfirst-hand social communication, discussions of social events and day-to-day matters”. She adds that they may\n\nlikely help the child have better communication skills with others.\n\n38. The underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 5 is the closest in meaning to _________ .\n\nA. advantages\n\nB. disadvantages\n\nC. conditions\n\nD. problems\n\n39. Children eating with their families are more likely to ___________.\n\nA. drink more sugary soft drinks\n\nB. do well in their studies at school\n\nC. be more socially active and aggressive D. have a closer relationship with their parents\n\n40. Why is Professor Pagani mentioned in the last paragraph?\n\nA. To introduce her.\n\nB. To add a new point.\n\nC. To explain further.\n\nD. To provide background information.\n\n41. The passage mainly talks about __________.\n\nA. the benefits of eating together\n\nB. the advantages of eating alone\n\nC. the ways of developing social skills\n\nD. the risks of using drugs and alcohol\n\nD\n\nAs we are getting older and older, our ability to think and remember starts to become worse. But not\n\neveryone is like this. Some people are super-agers, who are over the age of 80, but have the brain of much\n\nyounger people.\n\nScientists know that parts of the brain become smaller in size with age. But the change of the super-agers’\n\n重庆八中 2019—2020 学年度（下）2020 级第一次月考 第4页 共9页\n\n\r\n
goes much more slowly. In her recent study, Emily Rogalski, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), showed that\n\nsuper-agers have young brains. The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown to be thicker in\n\nsuper-agers. “When we look at a super-ager’s brain, we see that it looks more like a 50-year-old brain than an\n\n80-year-old one”.\n\n▲ Most of them like travelling and playing sports. They always enjoy reading. And they usually have\n\nhealthy relationships and spend time with friends. “Growing old,” she adds, “does not have to be depressing and\n\nsad. Perhaps if we expect a little better from ourselves, we’ll understand that not all getting old makes us sad”.\n\nRogalski said jokingly that super-agers do not grow on trees — meaning they are special and few. She says\n\nshe wants to find out why a super-ager’s mind is working so well and not getting old as quickly as most.\n\nThe science behind super-agers is a new, but growing field. It attracts many scientists. Scientists in the\n\nresearch offer the advice to us: Stay active. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Develop healthy relationships.\n\nWe may also become super-agers if we follow the advice.\n\n42. Super-agers are people ___________.\n\nA. over 80 with older brains\n\nB. under 80 with older brains\n\nC. over 80 with younger brains\n\nD. under 80 with younger brains\n\n43. What can we know from the passage?\n\nA.The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown thinner in super-agers.\n\nB. Scientists have found out why a super-ager’s mind is working so well.\n\nC. Super-agers are common and very easy to find in our lives .\n\nD. More and more scientists may get into the study of super-agers.\n\n44. Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ ?\n\nA. Scientists find that super-agers usually live simple lives.\n\nB. Scientists say that super-agers hardly ever forget things.\n\nC. Scientists find that super-agers have some physical differences from others.\n\nD. Scientists say that super-agers have several things in common.\n\n45. Which of the following shows the writer’s idea?\n\nA. Challenge yourself\n\nLearning new things Develop healthy relationships Stay active\n\nSuper-agers\n\nB.\n\nDevelop healthy relationships\n\nStay active\n\nSuper-agers\n\nLearn new things\n\nChallenge yourself\n\nC. Learn new things\n\nStay active Challenge yourself\n\nDevelop healthy relationships\n\nSuper-agers\n\n重庆八中 2019—2020 学年度（下）2020 级第一次月考 第5页 共9页\n\n\r\n
D.\n\nDevelop healthy relationships\n\nSuper-agers\n\nStay active\n\nChallenge yourself\n\nLearn new things\n\nE We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst. When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We think about changing only when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽 视) it.\nUnlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that we are just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.\nJane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be with groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!\nExercising three times a week would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy. 46.The writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that ________.\nA. we learn our lessons when we experience pain B. we are responsible for the problems we meet C. life fails us when we get into the wrong way D. life is a long journey full of ups and downs 47. According to the passage, what is the key to solving Jane’s problem? A. She needs to remember why she started. B. She has to know how to get on with people. C. She has to realize she is not what she is in her story. D. She needs to understand the importance of confidence. 48.The writer probably agrees that ________. A. ignoring change can make us happier B. people change when they find it easy to do that C. welcoming change in life helps us to become better D. enjoying self-improvement makes life more difficult 49.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. Is it important to take things light? B. Is it necessary to face challenges? C. To hold on to the last moment or to give up? D. To unlock ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?

A rich man loved his son very much. As he wanted his son to lead a happy life, he sent him to see a wise old man for his advice on happiness.
When the old man learnt about his purpose, he handed the boy an empty bowl and said, “Go to the river miles away and fill it with water. I will tell you about it if no water is spilt (洒) when you reach here.”
Although the boy was very surprised at this, he had no choice but to carry out this task.
The boy set off on foot for the river and some time later, he came back with a bowl of water. The old man asked him, “Did you notice the beautiful flowers along the road and the birds singing in the trees?” The boy could say nothing about them because he gave his full attention to the bowl in his hands.
The old man smiled and said, “Bring me another bowl of water, but this time enjoy the flowers and the singing of birds as well.”
When he returned, the boy was able to describe everything he had seen to the old man. But when he looked down at his bowl, he found sadly that most water was gone. He forgot all about his bowl while enjoying the beautiful things along the road.
“Well, young man,” the old man said, “Enjoy the beauty of the world, but never forget the water in your bowl. This is the secret of happiness.”

Enriching(使丰富) your life means making an effort to make your life as meaningful and happy as possible. Although you may have difficulty achieving it, there are many steps you can take to get closer to a better life.Learn to forgive others and be true to yourself.
If you often hate others around you, then you won’t live a wonderful life. So learn to accept that 79 is perfect and that everyone makes mistakes. If someone has really hurt you and you feel it difficult to accept that person’s apology（道歉),then be 80 about it. Don’t pretend(假装) that you’re okay and then go on complaining. This won’t get you very far.
Try to be a/an 81 .
It will not only be good for the people around you, but also make you able to connect with different people who can influence your life just as positively(积极地) as you can influence 82 . You can work in an old people’s home or help do the cleaning in your neighborhood.
Be less wasteful.
Trying to be less wasteful can help you enjoy the world around you more. You can use paper instead of plastic whenever you can. Don’t use too many products that can’t be 83 again. Also, try to take the public transportation and go somewhere 84 foot or by bike instead of driving.
Get along well with your friends and family.
85 busy you are, you should develop a habit of spending time with your loved ones and letting them know how much they 86 to you. You can write thank-you cards to your friends and family members or call up your parents or grandparents regularly.
