Seeing blood in a horror movie might make you cover your eyes，but real blood isn't scary at all．（1） That's why blood donors are considered lifesavers．
Blood donors are those giving blood﹣usually about 200ml at a time﹣to blood banks or blood donation（捐赠）centers．（2） For example，someone may have lost blood in accidents，or have a serious illness that requires his blood to be replaced．Hospitals and blood banks store the blood and try to keep enough on hand．
（3） Medical workers ask donors several questions to make sure the blood is safe to use．Then the donors relax，often reading a magazine or talking as their blood is drawn．Afterward，the donors may receive some juice or water and maybe fruit to give them energy．The process is simple，not scary．（4） ．
To give blood，a person must be at least 18 years old and must meet certain other requirements．Students of all ages，though，can learn more about the donation process by visiting a local blood donation center．（5） It is also an easy way to help a community．
A．Donating blood is not difficult． B．Then the blood can be used for people in need． C．In fact，blood is the gift of life and keeps us alive． D．Donating blood is not only one of the easiest ways to save lives． E．Most people are able to donate blood again in several months if they wish． |
All over the world，thousands of animals are used for wildlife tourism．People travel to watch monkey shows，hug baby tigers and swim with dolphins．It might look like fun，but there are reports that animals are hurt now and again．
The World Animal Protection（WAP）says that up to 550，000 wild animals are exposed（暴露）to ill treatment around the world；in Cambodia，for example，it's been reported that elephants have died after carrying tourists for long in hot weather．This is getting attention﹣over 100 travel companies have promised that they will no longer open up such places．However，some people argue that animal tourism isn't always as bad as it seems．So what do you think？
Group Yes
●Animals weren't put on this planet for enjoyment．They should be free to live as they choose．
●The way animals are treated is often cruel and causes much pain．Even if treated well，they cannot act in the same way as they would in the wild．

Group No
●It is enjoyable and educational for people to communicate with the wonderful animals．
The more people know about them，the more they want to protect them．
●Wildlife tourism brings money to poor areas and may be the only way for some people to make a living．

Birth order﹣﹣﹣does it matter？ Are you different because you are the first， second， or third child in your family﹣﹣﹣or maybe the last of nine？
A study found that first﹣borns have an average（平均的）IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order， perhaps because first﹣borns often help younger brothers and sisters， which improves their own skills． In 2007， an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first﹣borns ，33% are middle children， and 23% are last﹣borns． First﹣borns are more likely （可能的）to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay．
If first﹣borns are more successful， last﹣borns are generally more agreeable． They are also more likely to be funny， possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table． Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families， and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four． According to a 2007 Time magazine article， "The power of Birth Order，" last﹣borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen．
Then there are the middle children； we have not ignored（忽视） them! Many middle children are short of one﹣on﹣one time with their parents． They often feel short﹣changed： the oldest gets more rights， and the youngest is "spoiled（宠坏的） "．Though they may be ignored， middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults．
Many factors（因素）make us who we are， but if the research is correct， birth order may be one of the most important factors．
（1）Who is most likely to be a CEO？
A． A first﹣born．

Many Chinese people will wonder what presents to get for their moms on Mother's Day， but not many know Mother's Day is actually a festival from overseas．
Mother's Day originated（起源） in America during the early 20th century． The festival spread to China as early as the 1980s and was widely accepted．
Why did a foreign festival become popular in China？ In fact， Chinese traditional culture has always encouraged filial（孝顺的）devotion to parents． There are many stories which show filial respect in ancient China． For example， the story of "Taste Liquid（液体的） Medicine for Mother" tells us the filial virtue（美德） of Emperor Wen of the Western Han dynasty． His mother had been sick for three years． He often stayed up by her bedside and cared for her day and night． He tasted the liquid medicine first before she drank it． Also， mother love is a repeated subject in Chinese ancient poems， like "Song of the Parting Son" by Meng Jiao， a poet of the Tang dynasty． Now this poem is still a must in the school textbooks． Children in China are brought up with the education of filial devotion．
On special days， people often use roses or forget﹣me﹣nots to express love． Carnations are considered as the perfect flowers for mothers around the world， but few know that China has its own for mothers﹣﹣﹣the tiger lily．
Love for mothers can have different ways of expression． What matters most is love， not the festival itself． What mothers truly want is perhaps just a simple expression of love from their children．
（1）When did Mothers Day spread to China？
A． In the 1920s．
B． In the 1980s．
C． In the Western Han dynasty．
D． In the Tang dynasty．
（2）What is the poem of "Song of the Parting Son" mainly about？
A． The filial virtue of Emperor Wen．
B． Caring for the old．
C． Traditional Chinese medicine．
D． A mother's love for her son．
（3）Mother's Day is popular in China mainly because of ．
A． its wide spread in many countries
B． our ancient stories of respecting parents
C． our traditional cultural values
D． its simple way of expressing love
（4）What is regarded as the Chinese own flower for a mother？
（5）What a mother truly wants on Mother's Day may be ．
A． a big dinner
B． a celebration party
C． greetings of the festival
D． expensive presents

China has ended its long﹣lasted one﹣child policy，all Chinese couples now are allowed to have two children，which means that many Chinese children，including you，may have siblings （兄弟姐妹） in the future．
Like many only children in China，Pan is happy and confident，except when she feels lonely every now and then．"It's not fun，especially when I travel with my parents．How I wish I could have a brother or a sister，"she said．Now it could be time for Pan to realize her dream．But what would it be like growing up with a sibling？
Having a sibling can prevent children from bad feelings such as loneliness and fear，according to Laura Walker from Brigham Young University，US．"Siblings give kids something that parents can't，"she said．
You may not feel lonely because there is someone else to play with．You can also talk about various things and share secrets with each other．
But children with siblings also have to control their feelings and learn to compromise，said Laura．You need to share things with your siblings，including attention from parents，toys，the bathroom and even the TV．There is also unpleasant competition which you have to deal with．
It's also said that the birth order decides how parents treat their children．Parents are usually very nervous and strict with their first child．So firstborns （including only children） have more sense of responsibility because parents set high goals for them．When the couple has a second child，they are more relaxed，less strict and have fewer rules．So late﹣born kids are usually funny and creative．

I always had a nice cup of tea every morning in my country in Indonesia．（66）
When I arrived in the early morning for the first time at Sydney airport，the first thing that I looked for was a coffee shop．Finally，I found a nice coffee shop with many people queuing （排队）to order．（67） Then a very friendly girl asked me if she could help me．I said that I would like to have a cup of tea．Then she asked me，"（68） "I thought she was making a morning joke with me．So I said，"Red tea，please．"With a very unfriendly face she asked me again，"Black or white tea，please？"（69） I didn't know what actually black or white tea was．I only knew that having tea is usually with or without sugar．
One day I had a cup of tea at the university tea room．I saw a lady drinking tea with milk in it．Then I asked her，"（70） "She smiled and said，"Yes，you can．"At that moment，I understood that black tea is no milk added and white tea is with milk．How big is the difference of having tea between Indonesian and Australian people!

What would the world be like if cars could drive themselves？Imagine seeing an empty car passing by on its way to pick up its owner，or a car full of passengers who are reading，listening to music or even sleeping．But none of them are worried about the road ahead．
Well，all of this could be the future of driving．There are several companies，including Google，working on driverless cars．So far，no Google self﹣driven car has gotten a traffic ticket，but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them．
These cars are now still in the testing stages．But，if the tests are successful，these electric self﹣driven cars could be put into use very soon．
The cars already have many features （特点）allowing them to take the place of drivers during certain situations．Some features include cars being able to park themselves，or slow down when they notice objects close by．They can also control the speed if there are dangerous conditions．
Scientists and engineers believe，with the help of wireless （无线电的）signals，cameras and GPS，we are now at a stage where creating a safe self﹣driven car might be possible．
The cause of deadly road accidents is usually careless drivers or dangerous conditions．The self﹣driven car may be able to prevent these．However，some people do not like the idea．American lawyer Whit Drake，for example，doesn't believe these cars are safe．He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes．
61．The main purpose of the first paragraph is to ．
A．make readers wonder about self﹣driven cars
B．get readers to pay attention to road safety
C．tell readers to keep away from heavy traffic
62．The testing self﹣driven cars need energy to run．
A．solar
B．nuclear
C．electric
63．From the passage，we know that the testing self﹣driven cars can already
A．avoid being hit by other vehicles on roads
B．control the speed in dangerous situations
C．turn around when getting near objects
64．What might make the self﹣driven cars run safely according to the passage？
a．e﹣reading
b．wireless signals
c．cameras
d．GPS
A．a，b，c
B．a，b，d

You know how much your telephone has changed over the past 10years？Your car will change even more than that in the next 10years．One of the biggest changes is that cars will drive themselves．
"We certainly have the technology for it now．"says Andrew Poliak of automotive（机动车辆的）technology supplier QNX．"We expect self﹣driving cars to be a mainstream thing between 2020and 2025．"
The American company Google has been working on self﹣driving cars for years．These cars are already on the roads in the United States and are truly self﹣driving．They have to steering wheels（方向盘）or pedals（踏板）．Last week，the police ordered one of Google's cars to stop for driving too slowly on a public road．The car was not breaking any law，so no one was punished．
Another American company，Tesla，added an"Autopilot"feature to its cars last month．With the Autopilot turned on，the vehicle drives itself．The car will speed up，slow down，brake and drive by itself．You can take over driving any time by turning the steering wheel or touching a pedal．The car uses sensors（感应器）to know when driveway changing is safe and whether it should speed up or slow down．
Tesla Autopilot is made for cross﹣country driving．It keeps you in the driveway and helps you avoid hitting other cars．It does not work well on local roads，for it will not stop at a red light or stop sign．
Reporter Carolyn Nicander Mohr tried the Autopilot feature of a Tesla earlier this month．She had a hard time trusting the car to do what it should do．She thought about disabling the Autopilot feature many times during her trip．She wanted to take control at every bend in the road and hit the brake when the car in front of her slowed down．Yet the car drove perfectly．
Other companies are working on self﹣driving cars，too．Marcedes﹣Benz，Audi，BMW．Volvo and Toyota all have plans for such vehicles．
根据短文内容，从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳答案．

Today we can do everything with apps： pay bills， order food and shop for anything．Mobile technology means we can hold the world in our hands， However，when it comes to technology and health care，opportunities and challenges come together．
Let's start with the ways to get health care．Telemedicine can allow a patient to use technology to see the doctor online and get a diagnosis （诊断） and instructions without leaving home．
In addition， there are many patient websites． These allow for different kinds of interactions about our health needs without involving the medical team．Setting a date with doctors and reading lab results are readily achieved by technology．
A whole new age of medical care seems likely （可能的） to come in the future．But every coin has two sides． What might be on the other side of techno﹣health care？
Firstly， we should think about the health care experience as a whole．A usual visit to a doctor begins with a receptionist （接待员） ，who can see and tell how a patient is doing， This may influence the treatment effect． It's unlikely that a patient website will have such intuition．
Next， sharing the details of one's life requires trust， which takes time to build． This is certainly true in health care， where some of life's best and worst moments involve doctors． The human touch should not be undervalued and is unlikely to be there over the smartphone．
Lastly， test results can be difficult to understand． When someone without a medical degree sees a flagged result with no explanation on the website， there's room for all kinds of stories to form in their minds﹣and also great worry．
So how does medicine adapt （适应） to the new technology age？ Very talented companies are working on it． There is medical equipment（设备） that can be used at home to send necessary signs and heart sounds through telemedicine．It seems likely that some companies will find a way to explain test results．
But what it will not achieve is the warmth of human interaction and touch． Patients often need someone to listen to ﹣and care about﹣their journey story， which will never be realized through a human﹣less technology．Technology should be a tool，but depending on it totally will most certainly have unexpected effects． Let's not allow our humanity to be one of them．
（1）According to the passage， how does technology help health care？
A． It encourages doctors to voice their needs on the websites．
B． It offers the patient a convenient way to get a diagnosis．
C． It improves relations between doctors and patients．
D． It provides an opportunity to build a medical team．
（2）The word "intuition" in Paragraph 5 probably means ．
A． an ability to understand
B． an interesting experience
C． a chance to win
D． a fair decision
（3）What do you know about techno﹣health care from the passage？
A． Patient websites require trust from doctors．
B． Talented companies can give medical advice．
C． Flagged results may cause worry for patients．
D． Medical equipment collects patients' stories．
（4）The writer probably agrees that ．
A． technology can deal with unexpected effects．
B． telemedicine can take the place of usual health care．
C， it is difficult for patients to adapt to the new technology age．
D． techno﹣health care should take humanity into consideration．
There are millions of recipes（菜谱） hidden in the boxes and hearts of grandmother and parents． These family recipes are a special part of our family history． Some of them have been passed down from generation（一代人） to generation．
"I realized I couldn't go home every weekend for my mom's delicious dishes，" says Shreya， who is about to enter university．Shreya has recently started following her mother around the kitchen，taking notes on how to make her "masala chai" and tasty kachoris．
"Those special tastes can immediately unlock a whole flood of emotions， memories and feelings of family， love， and comfort，" says she．
She adds， "I am looking to the day when my kids will come to know of their grandmothers through the dishes they cooked．"
But many of us find it difficult to keep the food connection with our busy life．Even if we have time，not many of us take the effort to collect and record the recipes from our grandmothers and parents． We often get a recipe on the phone and take it down quickly on a piece of paper．We just stick it onto the fridge for a week or two and forget about it as soon as the paper disappears from there．
Actually，there are simple ways to keep family recipes，Scrapbooks（剪贴薄）are easily found in the market． You can even add photos to record every detail of your memories about the recipe．With the help of some popular apps like Story Scans， recording family recipes has never been easier．What is needed is to scan（扫描） the recipes and record the story behind each of them． It can become the most meaningful work you have ever done with and for your family．
Keeping family recipes is saving and honoring our tradition so that future generations can continue to make family ties stronger． Every time you remember your loved ones， recreate one of the dishes from your collection and let the memories from the good old days comfort you． So why not gift your kids a family recipe book when they are starting a new life？
（1）Why does Shreya follow her mother around the kitchen？
A． To clean up the kitchen．
B． To note down recipes．
C． To prepare family dinners．
D． To talk about family rules．
（2）What can we learn from the passage？
A． Ways to record recipes can be easy．
B． Most people like writing recipe books．
C． Recipes have become popular with kids．
D． People often buy recipe books in the market．

What's in a Name？
Many American names come from England．But where did most English names come from？
Centuries ago，most people in England had only one name﹣﹣their first name．In the 11th century，five
or six of the 50 people in a village might be named William，and it was easy to get confused．But in the Middle Ages，people found a way to describe each person exactly．If there were four Williams in one village，one might be referred to as William the son of John．A second might be called William from the hill．A third，William the blacksmith（铁匠）．And a fourth，William the brown haired．In conversation，people might refer to the four Williams as William John's son，William hill，William smith，and William brown．
It was 300 or 400 years before the extra （ 附加的） names gradually developed into last names，or
surnames．They were passed on from generation to generation．By the 1300s，Robert，the son of William
smith，had the name Robert smith，even if he was not a blacksmith like his father．As the last name became widely accepted，the first letter was capitalized，as in Robert Smith．By the 15th century，most people of the upper and middle classes had surnames．
Many surnames were based on father﹣son relations．The"son of"part was added to the father's first
name，like Johnson，meaning John's son．Sometimes it was shortened to just"s"，as in Jones or Evans．
Surnames like Hill described the place where a person lived．They are the most common type of surname．A third kind of surname was based on a person's job．Forester was someone who looked after the forest．
In the Middle Ages，occupation names such as Baker，Carpenter，and Miller became common．The fourth kind of surname was nickname（绰号）．A man whose surname was Bear might be as fierce as a bear．
Have you ever wondered why some surnames are so common？The most common surname in the
English language is Smith．Being able to make metals（金属）into tools was an important skill in the Middle Ages，and many people were trained as blacksmiths．The most common American surnames are Smith，Johnson，William and Brown．
61．Where do many American names come from？
62．When did people find a way to describe each person exactly？
63．How long did it take for extra names to develop into last names？
64．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？
65．Why were many people trained blacksmith in the Middle Ages？
