On November 12, 2017, the student in our class paid visit to China Science and Technology Museum.
At 8:00, we left to China Science and Technology Museum by bus. At 8:30, a guide introduced it to us briefly and told us that what we should pay attention to during we visit.

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological.
One important biological factor(因素) that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and the blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.
They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.
Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe they do. Some think that a woman's body cells have a tendency(倾向) to age more slowly than a man's. Others think that a man' s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly.
A. However, women, on average, live longer.
B. The biological factor plays an important part.
C. Women are also helped by their female genes.
D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.
E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.
F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.
G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.

Are you concerned about the effect of the haze(雾霾) in Singapore on the health of your children? Then you should read the following passage.

＂Young children, especially those with lung or heart illness, should avoid outdoor activity at PSI(Pollution Standards Index — used in Singapore) levels above 100,＂ says Dr Biju Thomas.

The immune system(免疫系统) of children is not mature. 1 Exposure to the haze can result in symptoms such as a blocked nose, dry throat, breathing difficulty, and so on.

Children who are exposed to the haze and experience any of these symptoms which are not serious should recover on their own in time if they limit their exposure to the haze. 2

To keep children safe during the haze in Singapore, parents should keep doors and windows closed at home. Ensure children drink plenty of pure water every day.

3 The answer is that there aren’t any N95 masks designed for use by children. That’s because these masks are made to create a seal(密封) around the mouth and nose of the adult user so particles(颗粒) can not get in. 4 Surgical masks may not offer enough protection from the harmful particles in the haze, which is very small (2.5 microns or less). There is usually some gap between the surgical mask and the face, through which the haze particles may easily get in. 5 However, if it is necessary to take children outdoors during a haze, parents may wish to offer children’s surgical mask to their children, if it brings them comfort, such as filtering out the smell from the haze.

A. So during a haze, children are especially at risk.

B. Are N95 masks and surgical masks suitable for children?

C. The available N95 masks may not fit tightly on the face of a child.

D. Allow children to make regular travels from one building to another.

E. However, if the symptoms continue, they should ask a doctor for help.

F. So you can use a conditioner instead of opening the windows regularly.

G. So it is best to keep children indoors to protect them from the haze when the PSI is high.

Last summer, my sister and I went to L.A. for our holiday. Some of my friends, 1 had been there before, said it was definitely a wonderful holiday destination. 2 going there, we had planned for months. When the day came, we were ready.

After our plane landed, we went to the hotel. We had made our 3 (reserve) six months before, but the man at the front desk said there had been a mistake. We 4 (tell) that our rooms hadn’t been reserved for that week, but for the week after. I didn’t understand why this would happen. What’s 5 (much), the hotel had been fully booked. When we were wondering 6 to do, the manager came out. She was surprisingly helpful. She apologized 7 the mistake and gave us a spare VIP room on the top floor. We had never stayed in such an amazing room and we weren’t 8 (charge) extra.

The next day, my sister and I went to the beach 9 we watched some people play volleyball. We got a little sunburnt, but the day had been so relaxing 10 we didn’t mind.

It was a holiday we would never forget.

【题目】语法填空
Everybody knows that the United Kingdom consists four countries: English, Scotland, Wales plus Northern Ireland. However, about four hundred years ago Scotland tried to break away from English (influent). The Scots wanted to attack England and (decide) that France should take the place of England their closest friend. England, was unhappy when the relationship between the two countries broke down. Queen Elizabeth I did not want to be left out of any decisions (do) with Scotland, so she divided the Scottish lords into several groups so that they would argue with each other instead of (attack) England. This (arrange) worked well until 1603 Queen Elizabeth died. As King James of Scotland was her only relative, he became King of Scotland and England, and everybody was (delight) with the solution.

On one of her trips to New York several years ago, Eudora Welty decided to take a couple of New York friends out to dinner. They settled in at a comfortable East Slide cafe and within minutes, another customer was approaching their table.

＂Hey, aren’t you from Mississippi?＂ the elegant, white-haired writer remembered being asked by the stranger. ＂I’m from Mississippi too.＂

Without a second thought, the woman joined the Welty party. When her dinner partner showed up, she also pulled up a chair.

＂They began telling me all the news of Mississippi,＂ Welty said. ＂I didn’t know what my New York friends were thinking.＂

Taxis on a rainy New York night are rarer than sunshine. By the time the group got up to leave, it was pouring outside. Welty’s new friends immediately sent a waiter to find a cab. Heading back downtown toward her hotel, her big-city friends were amazed at the turn of events that had changed their Big Apple dinner into a Mississippi state reunion(团聚).

＂My friends said: ‘Now we believe your stories,’＂ Welty added. ＂And I said: ‘Now you know. These are the people that make me write them.’＂

Sitting on a sofa in her room, Welty, a slim figure in a simple gray dress, looked pleased with this explanation.

＂I don’t make them up,＂ she said of the characters in her fiction these last 50 or so years. ＂I don’t have to.＂

Beauticians, bartenders, piano players and people with purple hats, Welty’s people come from afternoons spent visiting with old friends, from walks through the streets of her native Jackson, Miss., from conversations overheard on a bus. It annoys Welty that, at 78, her left ear has now given out. Sometimes, sitting on a bus or a train, she hears only a fragment(片段) of a particularly interesting story.

【1】What happened when Welty was with her friends at the cafe?

A. Two strangers joined her.

B. Her childhood friends came in.

C. A heavy rain ruined the dinner.

D. Some people held a party there.

【2】The underlined word ＂them＂ in Paragraph 6 refers to Welty’s _______.

A. readers B. parties C. friends D. stories

【3】What can we learn about the characters in Welty’s fiction?

A. They live in big cities. B. They are mostly women.

C. They come from real life. D. They are pleasure seekers.
