touch with if you also like taking photos?A.Scott.B.Sarah.C.John.D.Paul.2.Where did Sarah find the tennis ball and the sock?A.At her friends birthday party.B.In her kindergarten.C.In her school.D.In a state park.3.Outside the tent,what thumped that night?A.A bear.B.A cat.C.A fish.D.A toad.BThree years ago,a group of researchers at Cornell University Food and Brand Lab had a guess.They knew thatmany apples being served to kids as part of the National School Lunch Program were ending up in the trash,almost untouched.But unlike others,they wondered if the reason was more complicated than simply that the kidsdidnt want the fruit.They thought the fact that the apples were being whole,rather than sliced(切片的),was doing the fruit nofavor.And they wanted to prove this idea.They carried out a study at eight schools and found that fruit consumption(消费)jumped by more than 60percent when apples were served sliced.They then made a follow-up study at six other schools,which not onlyshowed the same result,but further supported.The whole apple consumption at schools that served sliced applesreduced by about 50 percent than before.Based on these results,it seems that even the simplest forms of inconvenience can influence us.Sliced applesjust make more sense for kids.The hardest part is getting kids to start eating fruit,and thats exactly why slicedapples are the way to go.A child holding a whole apple has to break the skin,eat around the core(果核),and dealwith the inconvenience of holding a large fruit.These problems might seem silly or unimportant,but theyreimportant when youre missing teeth or have braces(牙箍),as so many kids do.Sometimes what seems like a really small inconvenience actually makes a huge difference.4.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A.Lots of apples served to kids were wasted.B.Researcher supported the lunch program.C.Apples are not the only acceptable fruit for kids.D.The lunch program was well worth spreading.5.What did researchers want to prove?A.Kid didnt want the fruits.B.Kids favored the whole apples.C.Kids preferred to the sliced apples.D.Kids eating habits influenced fruit consumption.6.According to the study,we can know_.A.14 schools served sliced fruitsB.kids have problems eating the whole applesC.eating fruits must be healthy for childrenD.few kids are missing teeth or have braces7.Whats the main idea of the passage?A.Form matters more than taste.B.Apples are beneficial to each kid.C.The way fruit is eaten links kids growth.D.Inconvenience probably makes a difference.CFor fishermen and sailors in the seaside town of Shangpan in Linhai,Zhejiang province,where recently 12stranded（搁浅的）whales were found,it is not unusual to spot whales or dolphins in the sea they would alwayscall them haizi,or“son of the ocean”.And if the local fishermen spot such intelligent sea creatures in need,theywill save them from danger without hesitation.In the recent rescue of melon-headed whales,they tried their best to help as a 37-second video of a youngman sleeping in the water holding a whale soon went viral online,with netizens applauding his constant effortsand caring heart in trying to keep the whale alive.“The melon-headed whale knew I was trying to save it andwould be more cooperative and wouldnt move.”said Lu Wenhui,a 21-year-old diver from Hangzhou ChangqiaoPolar Ocean Park,who held up the whales head so it could breathe easily.Lu had been staying in the water for 10hours by 4 a.m.Wednesday after coming for the rescue work on Tuesday,when the stranded whales were firstspotted.“Whales are mammals and need to breathe in air thats why I had to hold its head,to ensure it couldbreathe smoothly the whole time,”Lu said.The stranded whales,after the struggling of being transported,wereworn out when they arrived at the fish farm and might have drowned if they were left unattended.The reason why the whales were stranded is still not clear.And these stranded whales were returned to theocean because they are not adapted to artificial breeding environments on land.8.What do local fishermen usually do after finding haizi in danger?A.Ignore them.B.Feed them.C.Transport them.D.Protect them.9.Why does the author describe Lus rescue work?A.To introduce the whales in detail.B.To voice his views on the diver.C.To praise the efforts made by rescuers.D.To explain the value of the whales.10.What can we say about the melon-headed whales according to the text?A.They are rarely seen by locals.B.They are used to breathing in the sea.C.They arent suited to artificial surroundings.D.They are fond of swimming near the seaside.11.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Melon-headed Whales Were StrandedB.Rescuers Went All out to Help WhalesC.Fishermen Transported Stranded WhalesD.Witnesses Voiced Opinions on Rescue WorkDIt is that time of year when people need to lock their cars.It s not because there are a lot of criminalsrunning around stealing cars.Rather,it s because of the good-hearted neighbors who want to share their harvest.Especially with this years large crop,leaving a car unlocked in my neighborhood is an invitation for someone tostuff it full of zucchini(西葫芦).My sister-in-law,Sharon,recently had a good year for tomatoes.She and her family had eaten and canned somany that they began to feel their skin turn slightly red.That s when she decided it was time to shareherblessings.She started calling everyone she knew.When that failed,she began to ask everyone in theneighborhood like a politician,eventually finding a neighbor delighted to have the tomatoes.“Feel free to takewhatever you want,”Sharontold her.She felt happy that she could help someone and that the food didnt go towaste.A few days later,Sharonanswered the door.There was the neighbor,holding some bread.The neighbor smiledpleasantly,“I want to thank you for all of the tomatoes,and I have to admit that I took a few other things andhope you wouldnt mind.”Sharoncouldnt think of anything else in her garden that had been worth harvesting and said so.“Oh,but youdid,”the neighbor said.“You had someof the prettiest zucchini Ive ever seen.”Sharonwas confused.Zucchini in her garden?They hadn t even planted any zucchini.But her neighborinsisted that there really were bright-green zucchini in her garden.The two of them walked together into thebackyard.When the neighbor pointed at the long green vegetables,Sharonsmiled,“Well,actually,those arecucumbers that we never harvested,because they got too big,soft and bitter for eating or canning.”The neighbor looked atSharon,shock written all over her face.Then she smiled,and held out the bread thatshe had shared all over the neighborhood,“I brought you a loaf of cucumber bread.I hope you like it.”12.Why does the

the neighbor do inSharons garden?A.She harvested tomatoes only.B.She harvested zucchini by accident.C.She took some cucumbers mistakenly.D.She stole something withoutSharons permission.15.We can infer from the article that the neighbors bread would taste_.A.bitter but tastyB.strange and bitterC.hard and sourD.soft and sweet第二节（共第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分分，满分 1 10 0
