Passage1
(2017江苏盐城响水二模)
We live in the world full of colours.Does a colour have weight?If you say “no”,you are wrong.If you don’t believe,you may do an experiment.
First,put two objects with the same weight into two boxes.Then cover the boxes.Third,wrap one box with a red piece of paper,the other with a white piece of paper.Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one.It is certain that you think the red one is a little heavier.
Why?A scientist found that different colours have different weight in a man’s mind.So he did many tests and at last he found that every colour has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same.The heaviest colour is red,then blue,green,orange,yellow and white.
The scientist told us that colours also have smell.Can you smell the colour?Of course not.Then why did the scientist say so?That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength,and it reaches our brain through sense organs.
According to this discovery,scientists say that people accept the colours they like,and refuse the colours they hate.So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like.Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill.For example,if you stay in a room with red windows,wallpapers and furniture for two hours,you’ll feel you have been there for four hours.But if the room is blue,you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour.Another example,if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room,his temperature will fall.That means our body temperature will change with different colours.
1.Paragraphs 1~3 tell us that D . A.the two boxes have the same weight
B.colours can change the weight of an object C.the red paper is heavier than the white paper D.colours have different weight in people’s mind
2.Why did the scientist think that colours have smell? C A.Because we can smell colours with our nose. B.Because every colour has its own sweet smell. C.Because people can sense the light from colours
D.Because every colour can give off light of the same length.
3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A A.People may get ill if they refuse the colours they don’t like. B.People can stay longer in blue rooms than in red rooms. C.In people’s mind,red colour is heavier than white colour.
D.People’s body temperature will change with different colours.
4.What is the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “wavelength”? D A.波浪 B.色彩 C.频率 D.波长

Passage2
(2017河北石家庄一模)
Many kids help parents to do chores such as washing the dishes,cleaning the floors and taking out the trash in the house.In return,some kids get money or other rewards from their parents,such as 20 minutes to play computer games.
But some people do not think that kids should get rewards(奖赏)for doing chores.One of them is Susie Walton,a parenting educator.She believes that if kids get rewards,they will think that work isn’t worth doing unless they get something in return.For example,kids won’t sweep the floor if they see it is dirty.But they will clean the floor if their parents reward them for it.“Every house is a team effort,” Susie said.“A home is a living
1
space for everyone in the family.It’s important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities to keep our home clean.”
Other people have different opinions.They believe that money or other rewards can motivate kids to do more chores.It also teaches them real world lessons that we need to work to earn money.Now,there are also apps(应用软件)that encourage kids to do chores.The apps give kids points and digital gifts that can be used either online or in the real world.With the ChoreMonster app,kids earn digital points after doing chores.Kids can exchange their
points for real rewards,such as time to play video games or a trip to the mall.“Our goal is to encourage kids to earn rewards,”says Chris Bergman,founder of ChoreMonster.“Kids need positive(积极的)power to make them do chores.”
What do you think?Should kids be rewarded for doing chores?Or should kids help out around their homes without getting anything in return?

Passage3
(2017山东济南槐荫区一模)
What is time?Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted,like money?Or is it something we have no control over,like the weather?Is it the same all over the world?That’s an easy question,you say.Wherever you go,a minute is 60 seconds,an hour is 60 minutes,a day is 24 hours,and so forth.Well,maybe.But in America,time is more than that.Americans see time as a valuable resource(资源).Maybe that’s why they like the expression,“Time is money.”
Because Americans believe time is a limited resource,they try to keep and manage it.People in the US often attend meetings or read books on time management.It seems that they all want to organize their time better.People try their best to press more life out of their time.
To Americans,being on time is a way of showing respect(尊重)for other people’s time.Being more than 10 minutes late usually calls for an apology(道歉)and an explanation.People who are running late often call ahead to let others know that they can’t be on time.Of course,the less formal(正式的)the situation is,the less important it is to be exactly on time.At informal get-togethers,for example,people often arrive as much as 30 minutes late.But they usually don’t try that at work.
American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others.When people plan an event,they often set the time days or weeks before it.Once the time is fixed,it is almost impossible to change it.If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit,they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient.Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced.Also,people seldom call others late at night for fear they might be in bed.The time may be different,but most people think twice about calling after 10:00 p.m.
2
Even Americans would agree that no one can master time.Time,like money,slips all too easily through our finger.And time,like the weather,is very hard to predict.However,time is one of life’s most valuable gifts. 1.From Paragraph 1,we can learn that C . A.Americans waste lots of money and time B.people can only control 60 minutes a day C.Americans regard time as something valuable D.money is more important than time in America
2.In Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4,the writer mainly tells us that A . A.Americans respect others’ time in daily life B.Americans never call after ten o’clock C.Americans visit friends without calling first D.Americans arrive days before an event
3.The underlined phrase “think twice” probably means “ D ”. A.pay attention B.learn wisely C.feel relaxed D.consider carefully 4.According to this passage, A .
A.most American people treasure their time B.people can master and predict time easily C.Americans like time better than anything else D.people are supposed to be on time in all situations 5.This passage mainly talks about B . A.some of the American lifestyles B.how Americans treat time
C.all kinds of ways to spend time D.different opinions about time
Passage4
“I will think of it.”It is easy to say this,but do you know what great things have come from thinking?
Sir Isaac Newton was sitting in his garden when he saw an apple fall from a tree.He began to think and tried to find out why the apple fell.Then he discovered how the sun,moon,and stars are kept in their places.
A boy named James Watt sat quietly by the fire,watching the lid of the kettle move up and down.He wanted to find out why the steam in the kettle moved the lid.From that time he went on thinking and thinking.And when he became a man,he improved the steam engine(蒸汽机)so much that it could easily do the work of many horses.
James Ferguson was a poor boy.Once,seeing the inside of a watch,he wondered,“Why should I not make a watch?” But how could he get the materials to make the mainspring(钟表的主发条)?He soon found he could make it with whalebone(鲸骨).He then made a wooden clock which kept good time.His motto(座右铭)was “I will think of it.” And he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.
