17、tionship to Chinese culture.It is said that Chinese tea was discovered by King Shen Nong. People say that he lived 5,000 years ago. One summer day, while he was visiting a faraway part of his country, he felt very thirsty. The servants began to make water hot enough to turn into gas for him to drink

18、. Dried leaves from a near plant fell into the water. The king drank some, and found it could make him feel less tired. Also as a scientist, Shen Nong was interested in the new drink. And so, tea was created in 2737 BCDrinking tea has many advantages. It makes people feel less tired, clears heat ins

19、ide the human body and helps people lose weight. As you add a cup of tea to your daily life, please check the following helpful advice.Drink it hot. Tea oxidizes(氧化) quickly, so it is suggested that you drink it hot.Do not drink too much strong tea. It will probably be harmful to your stomach and ma

It may change the medical result. You can drink tea two hours after you take medicine.Green tea is the best

21、 choice for office workers. Why?

23、to _.Alet us know tea was discoveredBgive some advice about drinking teaCtell people the history of teaDadvise people to drink green teaB14、Grandparents are respected in many human societies.But telling stories about old times and overfeeding grandchildren seem like distinctly human traits (特征).Are

24、these classic grandparent behaviors really limited to human beings? Do any animals know their grandparents the way people do? For most species (物种) on Earth,the answer is NO! “Usually, there just arent grandparents living anymore when an animal is born,” said Mirkka Lahdenper, a biologist at the Uni

25、versity of Turku in Finland. Even if an animals grandparents are still alive, most species spread out to avoid competing for resources, so the chances of running into a grandparent are small.But there are a few exceptions, primarily among mammals (哺乳动物) that live in close social groups. Canadian zoo

26、logist Anne Innis Dagg described groups of langur monkeys in India in which older females lived with their daughters and grandchildren. The grandmother langurs have a particular job: they protect the groups babies against hurt from humans, dogs and other monkeys. Some female langurs even give their

27、own grandchildren special treatment, cleaning their fur and stepping in when they play too roughly with other young.Many whale species, too, travel with their families,including both grandmothers and grandcalves. In groups of sperm whales, according to Dagg, old females help babysit the groups young

28、 while their mothers dive (潜水) for food. Orca grandmothers often lead their family members and can live for many years after they stop reproducing. In 2015, scientists suggested that these elder orcas help their grandcalves through hard times, because they remember all the best places to find food.F

29、emale elephants rule the whole family. Calves (幼崽) are typically born into groups led by their grandmothers, who can live to around 80 years old. The female elephants form close relationships, said Lahdenper, and raise their young together. Lahdenper found that the calves of young mothers were eight

30、 times more likely to survive if their grandmothers lived near them than if they didnt. When the calves mothers were older and more experienced at raising babies, this beneficial “grandmother effect” disappeared even if the actual grandmothers were still around.It isnt very clear how elephant grandm

31、others help their inexperienced daughters, said Lahdenper. It is believed that they may help nurse their grandcalves. But Lahdenper thinks that the more likely advantage is the wisdom a grandmother elephant has got during her long lifetime.And what about grandfathers? Studies of humans in recent yea

32、rs have shown that a living grandfather can improve a persons mental health and wellbeing, said Lahdenper.But there are signs of that in the animal kingdom, she said. Male animals seldom socialize with their own children, let alone grandchildren. “Males are usually focusing on producing their own ch

33、ildren and arent providing so much care,” Lahdenper said.1From Paragraph 3, we know that orca grandmothers _.Adie after reproducingBteach the young to dive for foodChave rich experienceDenjoy travelling with grandfathers2The examples of monkeys, whales and elephants show that _.Athe “grandmother eff

34、ect” lasts long in the animal worldBgrandmothers shoulder great responsibilities in their familiesCanimal grandfathers can improve grandcalves mental healthDmost species treat their grandparents like human beings do3Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?AAnimal grandparents

35、are like human grandparentsBAnimal grandmas are born group leadersCAre animal grandmas given enough respect?DDo any animals know their grandparents?C15、Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. S

36、o airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem , airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they dont want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why pl

37、ane food tastes bad is that at high altitude( 海拔 )we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure( 气压 ) reduces one third of the sensibility(感觉 )of our t

38、aste buds( 味蕾 ).So our taste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses dont know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy( 辛辣 )food. Without doing so, the food would be taste

39、less.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they cant d

40、eal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.1In Paragraph2,“this problem” means _.Apassengers stay long in the planeBfood on the plane tastes badCpassengers have no food to eatDfood on the plane is expensive2Why do

41、scientists feel it hard to made food on the plane taste good?AThe volunteers dont know about food taste.BThe volunteers dont understand them.CThey cant find enough volunteers.DThey cant deal with the special environment successfully.3What is the best title of the passage?ATaste of Airplane FoodBAirp

It was his opening conversation for the first class of the term.“Success is riding in a sweet car, watching an 80-inch TV, and living in a place with at least twelv

43、e rooms.” One student answered, earning laughs from all the students.Mr Gruber smiled, but shook his head. “Tom, that is excess(过量). That is not success.”“How about being able to provide for your family?” A blonde girl named Sandy in the front suggested as an answer.“Now were getting closer,” Mr Gru

44、ber smiled, “but try thinking about what you need and what you want.”“Getting everything you want.” Tom shouted out an answer again, trying for more laughs.Mr Gruber sighed. “ I believe weve already talked about excess versus(与比较) success.” “Getting everything you need, but some of what you want?” J

45、ames, sitting in the back wondered aloud.“Quite right!” Mr Gruber clapped. “Success is getting everything you need and some of what you want. The more you get that you want, the more successful you are. You do reach a point where you are living in excess, though.”“What does this have to do with busi

46、ness?” Tom asked. It seemed if it wasnt funny, he wasnt happy.“Well, Tom, think of it this way: the point of business is to make a living to support your family. Once you have properly seen to (确保) their needs, you can then see to getting the extras that you want.”“What if I dont have a family?” he

47、continued to be difficult.“Then you have to provide for yourself, a family of one.”“He has goldfish to think about!” Peter, Toms friend, shouted out.“Then he needs to provide for a family of one with a fishbowl.” Mr. Gruber corrected himself.Tom nodded, satisfied with that answer.“So in the next nin

48、e weeks, were going to study basic business situations, like having a checking account and understanding credit cards.”Tom rubbed his hands together excitedly. “When do we get to start spending?”“You already are, Tom. Youre spending time with us!” Mr. Gruber laughed. “Now, lets see what you guys kno

At this years Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.On Feb 22th, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the mens short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world rec

52、ord with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wus win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.“I didnt give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after t

53、he match.But Chinas short-track teams didnt do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the womens 500 metres, 3000-metre relay and mens 1500 metres all failed to take home the gold. Wu was Chinas biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performa

54、nce.Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at the time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the sa

55、ying goes, “Winners never quit and quitters never win”. Wu didnt want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didnt return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.1What doe

It had a sign outside: “ Second-hand clothes bought and sold. ” He was carrying an old pair of trousers and asked the owner of the shop, “ How much will you give me for these? ” The owner looked at them and said “ Two dollars. ”“ What? ” Tom said, “ I had guessed they were worth at least five dollars. ”“ No. ” said the owner, “ They
