Winter begins in the north on December 22nd.People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months, squirrels, for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. 1.

They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut(黑胡桃）trees. 2. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.

Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student nowat the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels.Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. 3. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground.

4. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century. The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade（涌入）Indiana. 5.

A. Gray squirrels are native to Indiana.

B. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut.

C. Red squirrels bury nuts in a different way.

D. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels.

E. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.

F. Scientists are worried that they will drive away the gray squirrels.

G. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.

I created a writing group at my school this year, and it has become a hit with all students who enjoy writing. Now students of the group make rapid progress in their writing. Let me share a few tips that you can use to start your own writing group.

Set up separate groups for different ability levels

You probably don’t want to mix a gifted eighth grader with a second grader who writes very little. In a larger school, you could have a beginner group, a more advanced group, and a publishing group. Members can move to more appropriate groups if they are not comfortable in the current one.

Advertise the group in different ways

Send advertisements home with students, and put an advertisement on the school website or in the school newsletter.

The first meeting should be very open

At the first meeting, you should tell the students that this group is all about them. It is not a class, not a grade and not a requirement. Then tell them what some other writing groups do, and ask what they would like to do.

Set up a time to meet once or twice a month

It is important that students bring their writing with them. The group could go in any direction: criticize each other’s work, read your writing aloud, read silently, publish your work in a booklet (小冊子), play creativity games or do an online chat with a published author.

It will take a little while to find out what works best for your group

Search for creativity exercises and role plays. You might even be able to set up a special section of your school’s website just for your writing group.

1.The purpose of this passage is to ________.

A. introduce how to start up a writing group

B. offer some advice on how to teach writing

C. train high­level students to start up a writing group

D. compare different tips on starting up a writing group

2.What does the underlined word “hit” probably mean?

A. problem B. test C. tool D. success

3.Which of the following is NOT the activity of a writing group?

A. Practice role plays.

B. Meet a published author.

C. Criticize each other’s work.

D. Play creativity games.

(每小題2分, 滿分10分) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容, 從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項, 并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

1. When a starving man gets a meal, he begins to think about an overcoat; when an executive（業(yè)務(wù)主管）gets a new sports car, visions of country clubs dance into view. The many wants of mankind might be regarded as making up several levels. 2. The first and most basic levels of wants involve food. Once this want is satisfied, a second level of wants appears: clothing and some sort of shelter. By the end of World War II these wants were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. 3. It included such items as automobiles and new houses. By 1957 or 1958 this third level of wants was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s a fourth level of wants appeared: the “l(fā)ife-enriching” level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction－the feeding, comfort, safety, and transportation of the human body－this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called “l(fā)uxury”(奢侈) items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical care, and entertainment. 4. On this level, a greater percentage of consumer spending goes to services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods. Will consumers raise their sights to a fifth level of wants as their income increases, or will they continue to demand luxuries and personal services on the fourth level? A fifth level probably would involve wants that can be achieved best by community action. Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime and prejudice. 5. In this way, we can enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.

A．Then a third level appeared.

B．Human wants seem endless.

C．When there is money enough to satisfy one level of wants, another level appears.

D．There are several levels of wants in one’s life.

E．At this stage, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure.

F．Also included here are fancy foods and the latest styles in clothing.

G．Different people have different wants on each level.

If you have a bad habit of losing things, a new device that can be connected to any item that you might lose may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to the missing item, within a 50-to 150-foot range . If the item goes out of your phone’s 150-foot range, it can still be detected (發(fā)現(xiàn)) on other smartphones with the same app.

When you log into the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost item — a dog, for example, or a stolen bike — goes out of your own phone’s 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “l(fā)ost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within the range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your own phone, reminding you of its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.

Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they never run out of battery or need to be charged, and they last for one year before needing to be replaced. The app, which will come into the market this winter, works with iPhone 5S, iPhone 6, iPad Mini, iPad 3rd and 4th generation, and iPod 5th generation.

1.The Tile app can help you .

A. find your missing items

B. use your phone more wisely

C. save your phone’s battery power

D. connect something to your phone

2.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The Tile needs to be charged after a year of use.

B. One smartphone can only be linked up to one Tile.

C. The Tile cannot work when linked up to a phone without Bluetooth.

D. A missing item can’t be found if it goes out of the needed range.

3.What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?

A. What the Tile app is.

B. How the Tile app works.

C. The advantages of the Tile app.

D. Why the Tile app was invented.

4.Where does this passage probably come from?

A. A science fiction novel.

B. An advertisement.

C. A personal diary.

D. A news report.

It's reported that many people died of traffic accidents each year. Road safety has aroused the widely attention of the public. Many rules have made to reduce the traffic crashes, especially for the ones involved in the pedestrians. In my opinion, we should make road safety seriously in our daily life.
