Lost cities that have been found The White City In 2015, a team of explorers to Honduras in search of “the Lost City of the Monke God” led to the discovery of the White City. It is believed that local people hid here when the Spanish conquerors (征服者) occupied their homeland in the16th century. Canopus and Heracleion The Egyptian cities Canopus and Heracleion, where Queen Cleopatra often visited, weren’t found until 1992. Artifacts (史前器物) showed that the cities once highly developed as a trade network, which helped researchers piece together more about the last queen of Egypt. Machu Picchu A Yale professor discovered “the Lost City in the Clouds” in 1911. Machu Picchu displays the Inca Empire at the height of its rule. Abandoned in the 16th century for unknown reasons, the city was hidden by the local people from the Spanish conquerors for centuries keeping it so well preserved. Troy The ancient city of Troy in Homer’s The Iliad was considered a fictional setting for his characters to run wild. But in 1871, explorations in northwestern Turkey exposed nine ancient cities layered (层叠) on top of each other, the earliest dating back to about 5,000 years before. It was later determined that the sixth or seventh layer contained the lost city of Troy and that it was actually destroyed by an earthquake, not a wooden horse. 【1】Why did people hide in the White City in the 16th century? A.To survive the war. B.To save the land. C.To protect their country. D.To search for a lost city. 【2】Which of the following was related to a royal family member?

We often hear the phrase:“You’ve a greater chance of being struck by lightning.” It is used to describe something that hasn’t got much chance of happening. However, the common saying undermines(掩盖) the very real dangers of lightning. Last Friday, at least 5 people were killed by lightning in Nepal. Lightning strikes are the second most common cause of deaths during natural disasters in the US. The first is floods. Around 400 people nationwide are struck by lightning each year, and of those73 people die. That means more people are killed by lightning than by tornadoes and hurricanes. Because lightning kills only one or two people at a time, its danger does not receive as much attention as other disasters. So to raise awareness, the US has made June 22 to 28 National Lightning Safety Week. It aims to warn the public of the dangers of lightning and provide safety tips during thunderstorms. “If you hear thunder , you are in danger from lightning,” said Rocky Lopes, a disaster educator at the American Red Cross.“Thunder means that lightning is close enough to hit you at any minute, so you should move indoors immediately and stay there until after the storm has ended. The single most important thing to remember is to seek hiding place,”Lopes said. Summer is the high time for lightning storms, so when lightning strikes across the sky, remember these safety tips: Stop working, fishing, swimming or playing in open fields. If you can count less than ten seconds between a thunder and a lightning flash, take cover inside the nearest building. Do not stand under a tree. Get off bicycles or motorcycles. Crouch down(蹲下)if there is no hiding place. Avoid open spaces, wire fences, metal objects and electrical objects such as hair driers. 【1】The popular opinion about being struck by lightening is that . A.there is a greater chance for being killed by lightening than any other natural disaster B.it is the most dangerous among all the natural disasters C.the chance for a person to be struck by lightening is very small D.it is impossible for people to be killed by lightening 【2】The average death rate of being struck by lightening in US is about . A.18% B.50% C.30% D.73% 【3】Among all the safety tips, the most important one is that when you hear thunder in the open air， . A.just stand by your bicycles and motorcycles B.quickly find a place to go inside C.count ten seconds between a thunder and a lightening D.don’t have a hair drier in your hand 【4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE? A.There are more people killed by tornadoes and hurricanes than by lightening in US each year. B.There are on average 5 persons killed by lightening in Nepal each day. C.The death rate of being stuck by lightening is much higher than by other natural disasters. D.The National Lightening Safety Week is made to warn the public against lightening. |

We all know that exercise is good for your health. But some kinds of exercise may be better than others. Running, for example, may help to protect against heart disease and other health problems. Running may also help you live longer. Researchers say it is not important how far you run. It also does not matter how fast or even how often you run. As advertisements for the running shoes Nike say, “Just Do It.” Recently researchers studied more than 55,000 adults. About one-fourth of the adults reported running regularly. The study found these runners were considerably less likely than non-runners to die of any form of disease, including heart disease. In fact, the runners lived, on average, three years longer than the non-runners. This study lasted 15 years. During that time, more than 3,400 of the individuals died. About 1.200 of the deaths were linked to heart disease, hear, attack or stroke. One of the researchers is a man named D.C. Lee, a professor of Iowa State University Compared to non-runners, he said, runners showed a much lower risk of dying from some diseases. “Compared to non-runners, runners showed 30 percent lower risk of death by any causes, including heart attack, stroke and cancer. Also, runners compared to non-runners showed 45 percent lower risk of death by cardiovascular diseases（心血管疾病）, including heart attack and stroke.” D. C. Lee and the other researchers found that speed, distance and how often one runs made little difference in reducing the risk of death. The runners in the study averaged between 10 and 16 kilometers per hour. Mr Lee said slower runners and those who only ran once or twice a week were helped nearly as much as those who ran faster and further. “And also we looked at the inning over time and we found that persistent runners（over six years）showed the biggest benefits, as well.” 【1】What does the author mean by quoting Nike’s ad “Just Do it”? A. It’s time for you to start running. B. Nike has always kept its promise. C. You have to run as fast as possible. D. Running does you good whatever its form. 【2】The researchers got the results of their study mainly by ________. A. analyzing data B. having interviews C. doing experiments D. doing field survey 【3】What can we learn from Paragraph 5? A. Heart disease is the biggest killer of mankind. B. Runners are generally healthier than non-runners. C. Heart disease has killed more people than cancer. D. Running greatly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. 【4】What can we know according to Mr Lee? A. Slower runners and faster runners benefit equally from running. B. You can benefit most if your speed is over 10km per hour. C. You must control your speed properly while running. D. The further you run, the more benefits you will get. |

Jeff Bezos, the world’s wealthiest person, was just five when American astronauts stepped on the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969. However, he’s never forgotten the black-and-white footage from the historic moment. Since then, the moon has always been the center of his space dreams which are channeled through his spaceflight company, Blue Origin. On May 9, 2019, at a meeting held in Washington, DC, Bezos came one step closer to achieving his dream of sending people there, when he presented a model of a lander, Blue Moon, designed to carry both humans and goods to the satellite. Though details of how Blue Moon will be sent to space remain unclear, Bezos is confident it’ll be ready for its mission (使命) by 2024. He considers it unavoidable to settle in space given our ever-increasing population and fewer resources. Unlike those seeking a home on another planet, Bezos thinks humans will be living in orbital space settlements, which are similar to the International Space Station, except much bigger, each housing millions of people. Space taxis would make it easy for humans to travel between settlements. But first we need to develop a cheaper way to travel between space and Earth. Bezos may have solved the problem partly by removing the biggest cost of spaceflights—single use rockets—with Blue Origin’s reusable New Shepard rocket, which has made several trips to space and back since 2015. To encourage future space dreamers, the company’s recently built a free online club that will keep members informed of its progress and challenge them to find solutions to help humans and save earth. It invites students of all ages to draw or write how they imagine humans living and working in space on a self-addressed, stamped postcard and send it to the “Club for the Future” by July 20, 2019. The first 10,000 postcards will be sent to space aboard the New Shepard rocket later this year. When it returns to Earth, the postcards, stamped “flown to space,” will be returned to their owners. 【1】What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about? A. An impressive historic moment. B. The beginning of Bezos’ space dream. C. The exciting news of sending man to space. D. Bezos’ secret of becoming the wealthiest person. 【2】What will be orbital space settlements like in Bezos’ eyes? A. Overpopulated. B. Solar-powered. C. Energy-hungry. D. Conveniently accessible. 【3】What may contribute greatly to the low cost of travelling to space? A. Space taxis. B. Single use rockets. C. New Shepard rocket. D. Orbital space settlements. 【4】What’s the purpose of the free online club? A. To help humans and save earth. B. To challenge students of all ages. C. To build a new way of sending postcards. D. To encourage future space dreamers. |

"You are what you eat," goes an English saying. But actually, you are what you drink. Why? Because 75% of your body is water! 【1】 When we don't give our bodies enough water, our organs cannot work properly. We are also easier to catch a disease. When we are sick, drinking plenty of water should be one of the first things we do. 【2】 Is your body asking for more water? If you experience headaches, sleepiness, allergies or dizziness (头昏眼花), your body might be telling you to drink more water. 【3】 Even problems such as nervousness or forgetfulness can be caused by lack of water. In addition, the medicines that treat these illnesses can sometimes dry out your body further. The more water you are lacking in, the worse your health will be-no matter how much medicine you take. 【4】 How much water is enough for you? Most experts suggest drinking at least 8-ounce glasses of water every day. However, if you weigh more than 128 pounds, you need even more water. Drink an extra glass of water for every 15 pounds of body weight. Drink more water in the hot summer months and when you exercise to replenish (补充) the water loss through sweating. Caffeine makes your body lose water very quickly. So drink extra water if you drink beverages such as coffee, tea and soda. Helpful tips Try these tips to help yourself drink more water. ●Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink. 【5】 ●Plan to have enough water. ●Carry a bottle of pure water with you wherever you go. ●Don't hesitate by frequent trips to the toilet. Drinking plenty of water can take as much time as you need and prevent serious illness in the future. So pour yourself a glass of water and drink up! A.Drink water occasionally. B.All kinds of drink will contribute to your health. C.If you're thirsty, you're already lack of water. D.Instead, we usually depend on drugs to make us well. E.Lack of water may be the real reason for your sickness. F.Therefore, it is important to listen to your body when it asks for a drink! G.With this in mind, it's no surprise that drinking enough water is crucial for good health. |
