The more we learn about the advantages of being in nature, the more sense it makes to get outside. This could be especially important for school children.New research suggests that kids may learn better when they are surrounded (包围) by greener spaces.1 . But these days, outdoor time is competing for a childs attention with indoor activities. Children may find it difficult to leave computers, televisions and electronic games.2 . All this indoor activity can hurt a childs physical and mental health. But can it affect how well they do in school? Researchers in Barcelona, Spain and in the United States are trying to answer that question.3 . Over one year, the children took computerized tests four times. The researchers tested how green spaces influenced their memory and attention.4 . They believe that good air quality (质量) is the main reason for the results. More trees mean less air pollution.

Mr. Sunyer says that schools surrounded by greenery have less air pollution in the classrooms.5 . 根据材料内容，从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项，使文章意思通顺、内容完整。AFinally we know, it seems its not just outdoor time that is good for children but outdoor time surrounded by clean air.BSo, in many parts of the world children are spending less and less time outdoors.CThey found that the children with higher connection with green spaces had better ability to memorize.

The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smart phone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. Its very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smart phone. First, you have to download such an APP on your smart phone. Then what you need to do is to find a nearest bike through the APP, scan the QR code(代码) on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. Whats more, the greatest advantage of bike-sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesnt cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the bikes in their own homes. Besides, some people dont value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problem like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles.

I like it because it has mountains, the sea and history. The mountains are not very high. In China you would probably call them hills rather than mountains as they are less than 1,000 meters high, but there is something wild about these mountains you get a feeling of space and freedom. You can walk for miles without meeting another person.Northumberland is full of history. There are seven castles, some of them were ruined and the others still there as they were centuries ago. You can find graves going back to prehistoric（史前的）, times and strange carvings on rocks which nobody understands. The coast line is dramatic too, with beautiful sandy beaches. These beaches are rarely crowded because the weather is unpredictable and the North Sea is very cold! People dont go for seaside holidays to Northumberland because of the cold sea and weather, so even in high season there arent many tourists.There is an island called Holy Island off the coast of Northumberland, you can get to the island by car or on foot when the tide is out. There is also one castle I particularly like. It is a 14th century castle which stands on a cliff right by the sea. The castle is almost completely ruined, but it looks dramatic and romantic because you can still see the gate and two of its owners. On a summers day you can lie on the beach nearby and let your mind wander as you look at this dream-like castle. On a winters day you can walk to the castle and watch the waves crash into the cliff, wondering how this castle has stood so long against the forces of nature.I once said to a friend of mine that I thought this castle by the sea was the most beautiful place in the world. She laughed and said there must be many more dramatic places in the world. In one way, Im sure shes right, but for me, its not just about what a place looks like, its about what it says to you.30 . In China people probably call them mountains which are _ 1,000 meters high.Aless thanBnearlyCmore thanDalmost31 . How are the seven castles in Northumberland?AThey are modern and fantastic.BThey are all complete and magnificent.CSome hasnt changed at all for centuries.DSome are full of strange carvings.32 . Not many people visit the beautiful beach because of _.Athe soft sandsBthe cold sea and weatherCthe warm seaDthe island nearby33 . Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the reason why the author likes the 14th century castle?AIt was built in the 14th century on a cliff right by the sea.BIt looks very dramatic and romantic with two towers but no gate.CThe author can let his mind wander as he looks at this dream-like castle.DThe author can walk to the castle and watch the waves crash into the cliff.34 . From the last paragraph in the passage, we know _.Athe authors friend agreed on his opinion about the castle.Bthe author doesnt think there are many more dramatic places in the world.Cthe authors friend pays no attention to the beautiful scenery.Dwhat the author cares is not only the scenery but also the feeling he can get from it.35 . You can get the passage from the following materials EXCEPT _.Ascience fictionBjournalsCnewspapersDmagazines四、用单词的正确形式完成句子用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，每词限用一次。goodworkquiettimesun36 .

To be healthy, first we must have a healthy lifestyle. And 42 . also necessary to get rid of（摆脱）some bad habits. Now, lets see some bad habits in our daily life in order to help us turn our unhealthy habits into 43 . ones.1Eating when hungryMany people do not eat on time or do not eat when not hungry. They do that because they are “not hungry”. In 44 . , food only stays in the stomach for 4-5 hours, so when we are hungry, our stomachs are already empty. At this time, gastric juices(胃液)will begin “self-digestion” (自我消化). That is bad for our health.2Drinking when thirstySome people do not have the habit of 45 . regularly(经常). They only drink when they are thirsty. In fact, when we feel thirsty, the body is already short of water. It is 46 . late to drink water.
