Grandma called me in from the yard. “Would you please go to the store for me I’m ready to make cakes, and there isn’t enough yeast(酵母). Take a quarter from my little change 31 .” I found Grandma’s wallet and put the quarter in my pocket．
I was soon in the little store in our farming community. “Mr. Jenkins,” I said, “Grandma 32 some yeast.” Mr. Jenkins set three cakes of yeast on the counter. His eyes shone, and he 33 at me. “And what else do you need ” I knew what he meant. I was always allowed to pick a penny candy when I came to the store with Grandma. “How much 34 do I have from a quarter ” I asked. “Seven cents.”Mr. Jenkins replied. I thought about that 35 . I would have a nickel (五分硬币) and two pennies back. I was sure Grandma wouldn’t 36 if I spent one penny, and if she were here, she might even say I could have them both. The 37 I looked at the candy display, the more certain I became that I needed two pennies’ worth as a reward for coming to the store alone. And I did so.
“ 38 ,” Grandma said when I laid the yeast on the table. “Did you put the change back in my wallet ” “Yes, Grandma.” I replied, hurrying out to the yard. “I hadn’t really lied toGrandma,”
I argued with myself. “I did put 39 all the change I had.”
But I had 40 two pennies without Grandma’s permission(允许). The second piece of candy in my pocket didn’t sound like a good idea any more. I knew I had lied to Grandma, and I was 41 about it. Grandma loved me so much that I couldn’t bear to keep anything from her.
42 Grandma took the hot cakes from the oven(烤箱), I told her about the candy. She 43 when I finished my story. “I know just 44 you feel,” she said. “We all feel like that when we’ve done 45 deceitful(欺骗的). I’m glad you told me about the pennies and of course I’ll forgive you.” Grandma hugged me tight, and suddenly I felt as though a big stone was gone from my stomach.

Have you ever wondered if you see the same colours as other people Most people know what blue is when they see it. It’s the colour of the sea and the sky. They see the colour and call it “blue” because they were taught the word and connected it with what they saw. But how do you know what you see as “blue” isn’t someone else’s “red”
The ability to notice different colours depends on receptors (感受器) in our eyes which is also called cones (晶体). Light waves hit these receptors and they react depending on which colour the light is, sending signals to the brain. The brain then translates these signals to tell which colour light the eyes are receiving.
Some people’s receptors are more developed than others. People with weaker receptors usually have colour blindness. Those with more developed receptors can see more shades of one colour, which is the first way in which people may see colours differently from each other. We sometimes hear people having an argument (争论) about whether something is dark blue or black. It might be because one person has stronger receptors to translate the light than another.
In the past, most scientists would think that everyone saw colours in the same way. However, later scientists carried out a research on monkeys, in which they were injected (注射) with a virus affecting their receptors. They found that monkeys could see one more color—red, compared (比较) with the usual two colors—blue and green.This is because the neurons (神经元) in their brains automatically (自动地) adapted (适应) to be able to understand a new colour. This also might mean the neurons in human brains are not born to understand which colour is which. Our brains and neurons may adapt to tell colors depending on stimulus (刺激物).
Colour could be a very personal experience, unique (独一无二的) to everyone. So next time when you and your friend talk about your favourite colour, if yours is blue and your friend says red, you might actually be thinking about the same colour.
( )49.How does the author introduce his topic in Paragraph 1
A.By giving an example. B.By listing some numbers.
C.By doing a survey. D.By using famous people’s words.
( )50.What’s the correct process (过程) of seeing colors
A.cones send signals to the brain→the brain translates the signals→light waves hit cones→cones react to the light.
B.cones react to the light→cones send signals to the brain→light waves hit cones→cones react to the light.
C.light waves hit cones→cones send signals to the brain→the brain translates the signals→cones react to the light.
D.light waves hit cones→cones react to the light→cones send signals to the brain→the brain translates the signals.
( )51.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.Monkeys can usually see three colors.
B.Our eyes are born to automatically tell colors.
C.People with weaker receptors are more likely to have colour blindness.
D.Now most scientists still believe that everyone sees colors in the same way.

When you think of the sea, you may not think of Xinjiang or Inner Mongolia. But recently, the“seafood”produced in these places has become popular, especially after Japan put nuclear-contaminated water (核污染水) into the sea, reported China Daily.
In Nilka county (尼勒克县) in Xinjiang, about 6,000 tons of rainbow trout (虹鳟鱼) will be produced this year. Rainbow trout belongs to the same family as salmon, which is a kind of well-known seafood. It tastes like salmon too.
Why do farmers there choose to grow fish The weather in some parts of Xinjiang is seldom hot, and the rivers are fed by meltwater (融水) from the Tianshan Mountains. Water deeper than 6 meters always stays at 10 ℃. As the meltwater is very clean and cold, it’s a “comfortable” home for fish, Li Chunyu, a worker at a fish company in Xinjiang, told China Daily.
To make sure the river stays clean, the company uses machines to clean fish waste in the water. They also use net cages that are good for the environment. The nets are about 51 meters wide and lie 25 meters deep in the river.
Meanwhile, in Inner Mongolia, whiteleg shrimp (南美白对虾) grows well. Saline soil covers a large part of the desert where few plants are able to grow. Farmers used to put water from the Yellow River onto the farmland to wash away the salt. This was a waste of salty water.
Scientists then decided to create “seawater” with the salty water by adding in some other components. Whiteleg shrimps can live well in this kind of water. They taste no different from the same kind of shrimp that grows in the sea.
( )57. Rainbow trout comfortably live in _____.
A. any open water area B. warm and clean rivers
C. salty and warm oceans D. cold and clean rivers
( )58. People turn their eyes from Japan’s seafood to Xinjiang’s because _____.
A. Xinjiang’s seafood is much tastier B. the ocean environment is polluted
C. people find a new ocean in Xinjiang D.Xinjiang produces all kinds of seafood
( )59. Why is whiteleg shrimp introduced in the article
To show the importance of rivers to a country.
B. To introduce the safety of eating seafood.
C. To compare it with common whiteleg shrimp.
D. To show another “seafood” grown without using the sea.
( )60. What can you infer from the article
A. Life will not be different without seafood. B. Xinjiang is rich in natural resources.
C. China won’t be short of fishery products.
D. Japan shouldn’t let out nuclear-contaminated water.

Good afternoon, everyone! It’s a great honor for me to speak here. My mother is the person who has influenced me most. She is in her forties, but she looks young. She always listens to my problems patiently, and she advises me how to solve them. As a doctor, she often says she can’t be too careful. She often works extra hours.
