For more information, you can visit our website which is printed on the cover.Attendance：Please contact the office at 4804725282 if your child is going to be absent.Renaissance Reading：The Accelerated Reader (AR) Program is a computerized reading enrichment program that combines great childrens literature with computer skills. As an individualized reading program, it is designed to motivate students to read more and to read good literature. Students of different abilities can use this program. It is not a competitive program but one that improves any students reading ability.Here is how it works. Students select books in their reading range from our Accelerated Reader Selection and read it at their own pace. Once the student has completed the book, he/she is ready to take an AR quiz. Each quiz consists of 5, 10, or 20 multiple choice comprehensive questions about the book.After taking the quiz, the computer shows the student how many questions he/she answered correctly, shows the correct answers for missed questions, and praises the students efforts with an onscreen personalized message. Passing the quiz assures the teacher and the parent that the child actually read and understood the book. Each student tests independentlyreading the quiz questions himself/herself.The computer keeps track of reading points, books, and average test scores, as well as other data. A student may test on a book only once and should, therefore, have thoroughly read and understood the contents before taking the quiz. Each student is responsible for reading the screen to be sure the quiz, by title and author, is the correct one he/she wishes to take.Students are recognized for their accomplishments with praise from the teachers and special recognition at the classroom level when individual and/or classroom goals are met.PTOWe have an active Parent Teacher Organization. They have monthly meetings, check the calendar for the meeting times and places.21The passage is written for_.Ageneral readers BparentsCteachers Dprimary students22Which of the following is TRUE about how Renaissance Reading works?AStudents select books based on the instruction of the computer.BStudents take the quiz without others arrangements.CThe result of the quiz will be kept by teachers.DThe summary of the book to be selected is shown on the screen.23It can be inferred from the passage that_.Astudents wont be punished if they dont pass the quiz.Bstudents only have one chance to test on a book.Cstudents wont be praised if they reach their goals.Dparents meet the teachers only once a termBA study published on Monday found that people who sleep less tend to be fat, and experts said its time to find out if more sleep would fight fatness.“Weve put so much emphasis on diet and exercise that weve failed to recognize the value of good sleep，” said Fred Turek, a physician at Northwestern University.Mondays study from Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk covered 1,000 people and found that total sleep time decreased as body mass index a measure of weight based on height increased.Men slept an average of 27 minutes less than women and overweight and fat patients slept less than patients with normal weights, it said. In general the fatter subjects slept about 1.8 hours a week less than those with normal weights.“Americans experience insufficient sleep and fat bodies. Clinicians are aware of the burden of fatness on patients，” the study said.“Our findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may not be necessary, as an extra 20 minutes of sleep per night seems to be associated with a lower body mass index，” it added.“We caution that this study does not set up a cause and effect relationship between restricted sleep and fatness (but) investigations indicating success in weight loss via extensions of sleep would help greatly to set up such a relationship.”The study was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine along with an editorial by Turek and Northwestern colleague Joseph Bass commenting on it and related research.In an interview, Turek said some studies have shown the lack of sleep causes declines in an appetite suppressing protein hormone，and increases in another hormone that causes a longing for food. In addition neuropathies (神经疗法) in the brain governing sleep and fatness appear to overlap (重叠), he said.Fatness has been rising dramatically in developed countries and reached epidemic (流行病) levels in the United States, it added, leading to a variety of health problems.24Whats the passage mainly about?APeople who sleep less tend to get fat.BFat people need lots of sleep to lose weight.CSleeping has nothing to do with fatness.DFatness has been rising dramatically in developed countries.25According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?ALack of sleep causes declines in a desire limiting protein hormone.BAmericans experience sufficient sleep and fat bodies.CThe findings suggest that major extensions of sleep time may be necessary.DFatness has been rising dramatically in America.26Which of the following is NOT close to the underlined word “suppressing”？ALimit. BRestrict.CAccept. DControl.27According to the passage, which of the following people is the lowest possible one to get fatness?AAmericans. BChinese.CJapanese. DEnglish.CThe British Sign Language (BSL) is the sign language that is used widely in the UK. It is preferred by a large number of deaf people in the UK. About thirty thousand to seventy thousand people use it. Many people who are not deaf also use it to communicate with their friends or relatives who might be deaf. There exist many sign language interpreters (口译者) who make communication between deaf and other people easier.Like all the other languages, it makes use of body language instead of sound. It involves (包括) combining hand shapes, movement of the hands and arms or the body and facial expressions to express a persons thoughts.It largely differs from the American Sign Language (ASL). The finger spelling used by the language is also different from that used by the ASL. Here both hands are involved in finger spelling while the ASL uses just one. It also differs from the Irish Sign Language and the French Sign Language, which is more like the ASL.The BSL largely influences the sign language that is used in many countries like New Zealand and Australia. The manual alphabet (手语字母表) and the grammar patterns used by the New Zealand Sign Language and the Australian Sign Language are very similar.Earlier the sign language like Scottish, Welsh, Gaelic and Irish was well known and was recognized. The BSL users ran a campaign to make it a recognized language like the others. Later in March, 2020 the UK Government approved (批准了) this, but it has no legal protection.Though it is used widely, its not the official language. The language is largely influenced by the spoken English of the area. For example, the people of Southern England may not understand the sign language used in Scotland and the sign language used in Southern England may not be understood by the people of Scotland.28From Paragraph One, we know that _.Amany people in the UK like to use the British Sign LanguageBthe British Sign Language is developed only for deaf peopleCthere are about thirty thousand to seventy thousand deaf people in the UKDit is impossible to use the sign language to communicate without interpreters29In the finger spelling, the British Sign Language user will use _.Ahis left hand Bhis right handCboth of his handsDeither of his hands30The British Sign Language is very similar to _.Athe American Sign Language and the French Sign LanguageBthe New Zealand Sign Language and the Irish Sign LanguageCthe Australian Sign Language and the American Sign LanguageDthe New Zealand Sign Language and the Australian Sign Language31When did the British Sign Language users run the campaign for its approval?ALast year.BBefore the March of 2020.CDuring the March of 2020.DAfter the March of 2020.DImagine this: your child has just been involved in an emergency. You call 911.The medical workers rush in and begin asking you questions as they work to rescue your child. But they also ask questions about your childs medical history. Its hard to think clearly. You begin to answer and then end up saying，“I dont remember. I dont know.”So，many doctors suggest that parents keep a record of their childrens important health facts handy. This can often help the medical team make a better and more rapid diagnosis (诊断) of a problem at a time when time really counts.The most important information to know is the childs allergies (过敏)It is especially crucial if the child is allergic to any medicine penicillin，for example. Food allergies can come into play，too，so make note of those as well. Children who have been hospitalized in the past may have developed latex (胶乳) allergies. Often the information can help emergency workers find a cause for problems like breathing difficulties.Keep a list of any medicine，including what your child is now taking. Some medicines can cause an adverse reaction when they are taken together，so the doctors need the information before they give your child anything. Youll need to know when the child took the medicine last and how much was taken.It is also important to tell emergency workers about any health problem or illness your child has had. These preexisting conditions can have a huge effect on the type of tests and treatment in an emergency.Consider having any child who has a health problem wear a tag (标签) around his neck. This kind of rapid notice can help doctors who are providing emergency care，especially if your child suddenly becomes ill at day care，school，or a friends house.32According to the first paragraph，the author probably thinks that in an emergency，_.Aparents usually cant recall their childrens medical historyBdoctors shouldnt ask parents too many questionsCthe medical service offered by 911 is not goodDparents should record their childrens daily activities33How many types of allergies are mentioned in Paragraph 2?AOne. BTwo.CThree. DFour.34The underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_”Abeneficial BharmfulCphysical Demotional35Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?AEverybody should learn something about first aid.BChildren can easily develop allergies.CDoctors usually have difficulty saving a child in an emergency.DParents should keep a record of their childrens health facts.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Trust has been considered as the basis of any relationship, including friendship. No relationship can last long with a lack of trust.

The watchband (表带) broke without my noticing, causing it to fall to the floor while I was doing some _41_. As I stepped back to _42_ some other clothes, I heard a terrible sound. I _43_ the watch and saw a spider web of cracks on its face.
