Fact or fiction？
Some books are entirely made up and imagined．Those are called fiction books．Novels，short stories are all examples of fiction．These books can transport you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience．
Nonfiction books give you the who，what，when，and why．（37）ENonfiction books can bring to life everything from the first trip to the moon to what it's like to explore the deepest oceans．Try both fiction and nonfiction books to see which you like better．

10．We gave our classroom a tthorough （全面的；彻底的）cleaning before the National Day．
11．Carly Lindmeier sits on the patio （露台） of her father's house in Orange County，California．The 20-year-old is finishing up wooden monograms （字母图案） （21）to send （send） to her customers．
At first glance，you wouldn't think that Lindmeier has a life-threatening disease．Like many young people in California，she loves hanging out at the beach and watching TV shows．She attends college and plans to become a speech pathologist （病理学家）．
But after spending some time with Lindmeier，you notice that her voice sounds rough．She was born with cystic fibrosis，a disease that damages the lungs and the digestive system．
"Imagine （22）having （have） to breathe through a straw，"Lindmeier said．"That's （23）what it feels like to have cystic fibrosis．"
While the present might be （24）the most exciting （exciting） time in her life，it could also be frightening．
For cystic fibrosis victims，death in childhood or early adulthood is common，with an average life expectancy of 37．
"When I turned 20，it was kind of tough to realize that I was already middle-aged，"Lindmeier said．"Five years from now，it'll probably be worse．"
 （25）In spite of her illness，Lindmeier stays positive．Looking for a way to raise awareness about this disease，Lindmerier came up with the idea of selling a variety of decorated，wooden monograms，each （26）dedicated （dedicate） to a fallen cystic fibrosis patient．She named it 65Wooden Roses．
ach monogram is hand-made and starts at $24.99 （158 yuan），with 20 percent of income going to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in the US．Launched in July，her business （27）has brought（bring） attention to the disease all over the US already．
Meanwhile，Lindmeier has a positive outlook on her own illness．In July a new treatment，Orkambi，was released，making （28）Itpossible to keep the disease under control．It （29）couldhelp patients to live decades longer．
（30）Although/Though/WhileLindmeier has to pay $6，000 every year for the expensive drug，she plans to start taking it．For her，it's a small price to pay for an improved quality of life and she is determined not to let cystic fibrosis hold her back．
8．Scientists have found living organisms trapped in crystals（晶体） that could be 50，000 years old．
The organisms were found in a hot，but beautiful cave system in Naica，Mexico．These ancient life forms can be seen only with a microscope．Penelope Boston，who leads the Astrobiology Institute at NASA，the space agency of the United States，says the ancient microbes（微生物） were able to live by eating minerals such as iron．
She spoke about the discovery recently at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science．If the findings are confirmed，they will show how microbes can survive in extreme conditions．Forty different kinds of microbes and some viruses were found in the underground area．The genetic structures of these organisms are 10 percent different from those of their nearest relatives．
The caves in Naica are 800 kilometers deep．They were once used for mining lead．Before the miners began working in the caves，the area was separated from the surface and the outside world．Some of the caves are as big as the large religious centers built during Europe's Middle Ages．There are crystals covering the walls．The caves are so hot that scientists must wear special clothing to keep cool．The clothing keeps the crystals safe from human germs（病菌）or other damage．Boston said the researchers could only work for about 20minutes at a time before they had to go to a room that was 38degrees Celsius to cool down．
NASA officials would not let Boston share her findings with scientific experts before last week's announcement．So scientists could not say much about the findings．But Norine Noonan，a biologist with the University of South Florida，said she believed them．"Why are we surprised？"Noonan asked．"As a biologist，I would say life on Earth is extremely tough and extremely colorful．"
Boston is also studying microbes commonly found inside caves in other countries，such as Ukraine and the United States．These microbes appear to be impossible to kill．Boston said they show how difficult life on Earth can be．

32．The existence of the ancient microbes relies onC．
A．surrounding insects       B．diverse plants
C．eating minerals           D．absorbing air
33．What can we infer about the caves in Naica from the passage？D
A．The walls are covered by crystals．
B．The temperature in the caves is quite low．
C．The caves have been explored since they were formed．
D．The environment in the caves is difficult to adapt to．
34．What is the biologist Norine Noonan's attitude towards the findings？B
A．Critical     B．Positive．C．Doubtful．D．Indifferent．
35．What's the main idea of the passage？B
A．Living organisms bring hope to scientific research．
B．Scientists Discover 50，000-year-old"super life"in Mexico．
C．Microbes show great power to survive in terrible conditions．
D．Caves provide living environment for living organisms．
15．Positive thinkers admit when they feel frustrated or depressed，they don't ignore it．But they don't blame themselves either．（36）DThey counter（反击）them with more positive ones．
So how do you stay positive，maintain motivated and sustain healthy behaviors？Here are some tips：
Look for a good role model．There is always someone who seems to be doing just what you want to be doing．Maybe they've scheduled exercise into their workday and switched from coffee to green tea．（37）EAsk them how they keep healthy and follow their footsteps．
（38）ATake a minute to give yourself an ego boost（自我吹捧）．Repeat some motivational words out loud to yourself．Negative talk such as"I can't do it．""I'm fat．"is dangerous for your well-being and healthy goals．Try to avoid the negative self-talk before it harms you．Remind yourself that you deserve happiness and can make positive changes．
Get support．Tell your friends and family about your healthy habits．It helps to have an encouraging network．
Reward yourself．（39）CTake a nice bath，get a massage，and enjoy a new DVD or CD．
Have a plan．Making a plan to exercise or eat healthy lunches with a friend can mean the difference of sticking with your goals or falling off rack．If you've planned for an activity，you'll like stick with it．You may even find that writing down your goals and steps to achieve them can help you stay on track．Take it day by day or week by week．（40）F

A．Try some positive self-talk and avoid negative talk．
B．Stay with your parents and relatives and you can avoid frustration or depression．
C．Treat yourself to something for your healthy efforts．
D．They try to understand the negative thoughts and feelings，instead．
E．Learn from a successful friend，family member or colleague．
F．The process of writing down your personal action plan is a good way to watch your progress or failures．
G..Believe in yourself and do as others do．
5．假如你是启明中学的学生王磊，学校计划在校园内开放若干个Wi-Fi热点，并就此通过校报征求学生意见，欢迎大家踊跃发言，你有意表达自己对这一问题的观点，并就此写信给校报，内容包括：
1．你是否赞同这一做法；
2．你的理由．
Dear teacher，
I amWang Lei，a student from our school．I am writing to show my opinionfor whether our school should open several Wi-Fisets to the students in our school．
On the one hand I agree to open Wi-Fito us students．For one thing we can search some information without paying，for another，the notice from school can be informed in time by Wi-Fi．But on the other hand I am afraid that this way can cause some problems．For example，some students may play games on line more conveniently，which can lead to their failure in study．So in my view，when opening several Wi-Fisets to students，some rules should be published to guaratee the right way we use Wi-Fi．
Thanks for reading and hope my idea is helpful to you．
Yours
Wang Lei．
12．A poor farmer had a friend who was famous（61）forthe wonder apples he grew．One day，his mend gave the farmer a young apple tree and told him to take it home and plant it．The farmer was（62）pleased（please） with the gift，but when he got home he did not how where（63）to plant（plant） it．He was afraid that if he planted the tree near me road，strangers would steal the fruit．If he planted the tree in his field，his（64）neighbours（neighbor） would come at night and steal some of the apples．Finally he planted the tree in his wood．（65）whereno one could see it．（66）Becausethere was no sunlight or good soil，the tree soon died．Later me mend asked the farmer why he had planted the tree in such a poor place．"What's the（67）difference（differ）？"the farmer said（68）angrily（anger）．"If I had planted the tree near the road，strangers would have stolen the fruit．If I had planted the tree in my field，my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples．""Yes，"said the friend，"but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit．Now you not only（69）have robbed（rob） everyone of the fruit，but also you have destroyed（70）thegood apple tree!"
9．ChopsticksRight now，millions of people are digging into their food with two sticks that have school the test of time as a utensil（烹调用具）for humans．But what's so special about them？（36）CPersonally，I think they teach us the importance of：
（37）A
If you're ever tried using them，you know that you can't get what you want by just randomly stabbing at the plate．To be able to get what you want，you have to aim for it．There's no way you can pick up everything in one go．Know what you want，and just do it．（38）F
Practice
Using chopsticks doesn't come naturally．You can't learn to use them by just reading about them．（39）D It is the same with the real life．You can read as much as you like about all the things you want to do，but it will just amount to dreams and theory if you don't try actually doing it．
Slowing Down
（40）GWhy？Because it allows your stomach to tell your brain you're full before you overeat．Eating with chopsticks is a slower process，but that is not necessarily a bad thing．Sometimes we need to slow down and take things one step at a time，so that we have time to think and realize that we don't have to keep charging full speed through life．

A．Aim
B．Motivation
C．What can we learn from them？
D．You have to practice using them
E．Those who eat too fast were less successful at losing weight
F．Sometimes，a little bit of focus makes the difference between failure and success
G．A common health tip is to try to eat with chopsticks when you can．
16．At 2 pm on 5 December 1945，five US bombers took off from Fort Lauderlale in the USA for a training flight in perfect weather．Shortly afterwards，the pilots radioed that their flight instruments were all malfunctioning．Two hours after take-off，all contact with the planes was lost．A reconnaissance plane was immediately sent off to search for the missing planes．Within 20 minutes，radio contact with it had also been lost．No trace of any of the planes was ever found．In all，six planes and 27 men had disappeared into the air．
The disappearance of the six planes was far from being the first mysterious incident in the area：for years，navigational problems and strange magnetic forces had been reported．The disappearance was not even the greatest disaster within the triangle．The Cyclops，a 19，000-ton US ship was sailing from Barbados to Norfolk，Virginia in March 1918，when it vanished with its crew of 309 from the surface of the ocean without making a distress call and without the slightest wreckage ev er being found．
The losses of boats and planes in that area defy explanation．The disasters are the origin of a new phrase in the English language-the Bermuda Triangle and this phrase has entered legend．The Bermuda Triangle has been called the Devils'Triangle，the Triangle of Death，the Graveyard of the Atlantic．It has swallowed up 140 ships and planes and more than 1，000 people．Today many airmen and sailors are still afraid of that area of the Atlantic Ocean．
21．How many plane（s） were sent to look for the US bombers on 5 December 1945？B
A．None．
B．One．
C．Five．
D．Six．
22．In the passage，"the Cyclops"is the name ofC．
A．an undersea creature                
B．a brave sailor      
C．a large boat                               
D．a lost plane
23．Where is the Bermuda Triangle？B
A．In Europe                               
B．In the Atlantic Ocean   
C．In North America                    
D．In South America
24．The text suggests thatD．
A．People have solved the mystery of the disappearance of planes and ships
B．Airmen and sailors usually bury their dead in the area
C．Nobody believes the stories any more
D．The legend of the Bermuda Triangle is not over yet．
