So, more and more teachers are letting students have a ball. By sitting on exercise balls instead of chairs, teachers find students posture (姿势) and attention improve.Dottie Pownall, a fifth-grade teacher in West Virginia, USA, has been using balls as chairs since December 2008. “The students love them”, she says. Pownall took a survey of her students. She found that 80% of the students thought sitting on the balls helped them pay more attention to what they were learning.The teacher, Pisa Witt, felt so strong about the use of balls as chairs that she started WittFit. This company encourages the use of the balls. And the company educates not only teachers but also students on how to use them. “Our products are used in 24 states, three provinces in Canada, Puerto Rico (波多黎各) and Japan, ” says Witt. “Research shows that sitting on the balls makes them sit up straighter. You can slouch (低头垂肩地坐) on a ball, ” says Witt, “but it feels awful. ” Because when the students are moving, their blood (血液) increases. That carries more oxygen (氧气) to the brain (大脑), so the kids have more energy and can focus longer.“Furthermore, theyre fun. ” says Pownall.（1）What will happen if a student sits on a chair all day in school? The student will _.A . pay more attention to his lessonsB . be funC . like to move aroundD . sit up straighter（2）How long has Dottie Pownall used the balls?A . Since December 2008.B . For only one year.C . In 2008.D . Since she was a fifth-grade teacher.（3）In how many countries are the balls used as the students chairs?A . Four.B . Three.C . Two.D . One.（4）Teachers choose balls instead of chairs because sitting on balls helps the kids _.A . improve their posture and attentionB . slouch on the chairsC . have funD . Both A and C are correct answers（5）Which is better for kids to study in class, sitting on a chair or sitting on a ball?A . Sitting on a chair.B . Sitting on a ball.C . They are the same.D . We dont know.3. （8分）阅读理解 Chris Hughes is a 24-year-old man from the United Kingdom. He often wears the same clothes for many days in a row（连续）because he doesnt know how to use a washing machine.This is not a joke. Hughes is far from the only young person who doesnt have basic life skills.According to a recent study by YouGov, a UK market research firm, todays young people in the UK are less capable（有能力的）than older generations when it comes to basic life skills. For example, about 35 percent dont know how to sew（缝）on a button and 11 percent dont understand how to change a light bulb or iron (熨烫)clothes.This problem is shared by young people in the United States as well. According to Forbes, many youngsters in the US are losing the skill of cooking, as they are much more likely to order take-out food（外卖）.Technology may be the main reason for this. Born and raised in a digital age（数字化时代）, young people are more familiar with using phones and computers. For example, with GPS always at hand, young people have no need to learn how to read physical maps.However, this does not mean that younger generations are unable to carry out basic everyday tasks. The Mirror noted that as their lives have changed, the major life skills that they are good at have changed as well.The study results show that although only 45 percent know how to pay their water and electricity bills after leaving home, 72 percent could help set up a WiFi network in a new house.（1）Why does Hughes often wear the same clothes for many days? A . Because he likes to play jokes on others.B . Because he doesnt know how to wash them.C . Because he doesnt have other clothes to change into.D . Because he has developed it as a habit.（2）Which of the following is NOT a finding from YouGovs study? A . Many young people in the UK dont have basic life skills.B . Younger generations in the UK dont have better life skills than older ones.C . Eleven percent of British youngsters dont know how to iron clothes.D . Many American youngsters are losing their basic life skills.（3）What could be the main reason for this problem? A . Parents love for their children.B . Too much homework every day.C . Technology in the digital age.D . The convenient use of GPS.（4）According to The Mirror, young people today_. A . dont need to learn basic life skillsB . cant carry out basic everyday tasksC . are developing new basic life skillsD . are good at setting up WiFi networks4. （8分）阅读理解We walked all afternoon with Infadoos and Scragga. Their men walked about a hundred metres ahead of us.“When did your people, the Kukuana, come to this place?”“They came from the north many thousands of moons ago,” Infadoos explained. “When they reached the mountains, they could go no farther. They stayed here where the land is good and there is water.”“Do you live here in peace?” I asked.“There have been two wars. Once an army came down from the north, but we killed most of them. Soon after that, we fought among ourselves.” He said, “The king at that time had two sonstwins. When he died, both young men wanted to be king. One of the twins, Twala, killed the other and became king.”“Did the dead man have a wife and children?” I asked. I knew that if he did, the fighting could start again one day.“Yes. He had a wife, Imotu, and a son, Ignosi. They ran away.” He pointed to a village a short way ahead. “That is the village where Imotu and Ignosi first hid,” he said. “We shall stay there tonight.”As soon as we were within a mile or so of the village, an army of men came out. As we passed them, they shouted a welcome.Their women were in the village. They stopped whatever they were doing to watch us pass by, but they were not rude. As soon as we were comfortable in a hut, they came with milk, honey, and cooked food.A young man brought a fat young ox which he killed and cut into pieces. We took a few pieces for ourselves and gave him the rest. We dont want them to think we were selfish.（选自所罗门王的宝藏，有删节）（1）The Kukuana people moved a long way _before they stayed in this place.

But whats surprising is that our personality can also say something about our health. Thats according to researchers at Duke University, US.During an experiment on 1,000 people, scientists assessed (评定) their personalities into two ways: by asking someone they knew, such as a family member or a friend; then by asking someone they had just met, such as a nurse. The study found that those who were careful at the age of 26 were in better health after 12 years.Being careful means that people are more likely to have a lot of self-control (自控力), and are less likely to smoke. Careful people are also more likely to have an active lifestyle and a healthy diet, the scientists said.From those who were less careful, 45 % developed health problems by the age of 38. Such health problems included gum disease and high blood pressure. To compare, only 18 % of careful people went to develop health problems.Another positive (积极的) personality was called “openness to experience”, meaning curious (好奇的) and imaginative. People who have more of this personality have higher IQ scores. So theyd be more likely to know how to find medical help to prevent disease.According to the report, if doctors assessed our personalities, it could help doctors to find which young adults need advice on how to live a healthy lifestyle.But can a doctor who knows our personality really improve our health? Or should doctors be kept away from knowing something so personal?（1）What kind of people are more likely to develop health problems? A . Careful people.B . Less careful people.C . Those who have self-control.D . Those who are curious and imaginative.（2）By the age of 38, MORE of the less careful people developed health problems than the careful people.A . 18%B . 27%C . 45%D . 63%（3）Which of the following shows the writers opinion? A . Careful people are more likely to have an active lifestyle.B . Scientists assessed peoples personalities into two ways in the experiment.C . The study found that those who were careful develop fewer health problems.D . A doctor who knows our personality may not be able to really improve our health.（4）Whats the best title of the passage?A . Healthy Personality.B . Unhealthy Personality.C . Personalities and Health.D . Different Personalities.三、 任务型阅读（本题有5小题，每小题1分；共计5分） (共1题；共5分)6. （5分）先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在文章后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。每个空格只能填一个单词。Yu Minhong, president of New Oriental Education, shared his ideas with the young after the English speech competition of the 14th China Daily. Here is some of his advice to young people:“One suggestion Id like to give you is that its important to do what you like without fear of failure. And the process（过程）of working toward your dreams matters more than the results. Young people should take chances to show off talents. Take competitions like this one as an example: If you are afraid to fail, youll never get the chance to stand on the stage and make a speech. Above all, its most important to take part.Another suggestion I want to give you is to read books. It is not easy to keep reading every day. For me, it is much more difficult and challenging to keep reading and taking notes every day than it is to walk 10,000 steps.”In his speech, Yu also shared his view on life. He chose a different life rather than a more successful one. He uses the famous lines of American poet Robert Frost (18741963) to make his point:“Two roads diverged (分叉) in a wood, and I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”Yu pointed out, “Your happiness should not be what others think you should run after, but instead you should decide what it is. It is you who should make choices for your own life.”Yu Minhongs speech to young peopleHis advice He thinks the process is more _than results, so young people should take chances to show off their_. He also suggests that we should read books. Its _to keep reading all the time.His views on life Yu prefers a different life _a more successful one.
