Has anyone told you that it’s fun to play with English words? For a long time these “words within words” in English have been used to surprise and educate us…and they often make us laugh too. Now we go to learn about them.
Riddles(谜语)
How did the animals open the zoo door? They used a monkey! What’s the longest word in English? Smiles—there’s a “mile” between the first and last letters! These jokes —a question followed by a surprising answer — are known as “riddles”. But the ones above are examples of a special kind of riddle, a riddle which is funny because a word is hidden within another word. Many English speakers are crazy about this kind of words with double meaning. And it can be found in texts written in English a very long time ago. But riddles are not the only example of “words within words”.
Hidden words
During Victorian times (1837—1901), the game of hiding words within a whole sentence became popular. Look carefully at this sentence—The king eats his lunch in a fine palace. Can you see that the countries “China” and “Nepal” are hidden in it? The Victorians even used hidden words to teach children history and geography at school. Today we still see hidden word games in books and magazines, but we also use hidden words in jokes.
Palindromes(回文词)
Palindromes are words and phrases which can be read the same forwards and backwards. The pop group “Abba”, for example, is a palindrome. The sentence “Was it a car or a cat I saw?” is also a palindrome. We find them interesting, but they can also be funny: I kept receiving emails about reading maps backwards, but then I realized it was just spam(垃圾邮件)!
51. Which of the following is a riddle?
A. step—pets, part—trap B. hiding words within a whole sentence
C. silent—listen, the eyes—they see D. Which letter is a question? Y (Why) .
52. By reading the article we can know “___________”.
A. Riddles are the only example of “words within words”.
B. Victorians even used riddles to teach kids history at school.
C. “Was it a car or a cat I saw?” is a palindrome as well.
D. These “words within words” in English often make us cry.
53. The best title of the passage is ________.
A. It’s fun to play with words B. “Words within words” educate us
C. Riddles & Hidden words D. The pop group “Abba”
B
Getting a high grade in an exam depends partly on how much you can remember. So, improving memory is important to success in studying. But is there anything that we can do about it? One way might be walking backwards. According to a new study, walking backwards, whether doing it really or just imagining it, can improve the memory in the short term.
In the study, 114 volunteers were asked to watch a video. In the video a woman had her bag stolen. Then they answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video. Ten minutes later, the volunteers were divided into three groups. The first two groups were told to move forwards or backwards 10 meters while the third group was asked to stay still on the same point. The researchers found that the backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average (平均) than the other two groups.
This suggests that a relationship between time and space is basic to the way our minds form memories. When we walk backwards, everything we learn becomes strange to us. “This forces the brain to think in a different way—the brain needs to match all the things again and changes the focus(关注点),” the researcher Christine Weber said. It almost always means that our brain needs to be more active in the short time. Naturally, our short-term memory will be improved.
Backward walking also plays an important role in physical health, especially fitness. A study published in Journal of Biomechanics in 2012 found that there is less pain in the knees.
Moreover, backward walking, compared to forward walking, is more challenging. It requires you to use muscles(肌肉) and movements that you probably seldom use, making it a perfect way to change your exercise habit for greater fitness gains. At the same time, by making people put in extra effort, it naturally burns more fat and calories.
54. Backward walking can________ according to the passage.
A. improve the memory in the long term B. improve the memory in the short term
C. cause much more pain in our knees D. force the brain to think in the same way
55. Which one is the correct order of the following according to the passage?
①The backwards-walking group got two more correct answers on average.
②The volunteers answered 20 questions about the details shown in the video.
③The volunteers were divided into 3 groups and 1 group moved backward 10 meters.
④The volunteers watched a video in which a woman’s bag was stolen.
A. ④②③① B. ④③①② C. ④②①③ D. ③④②①
56. What does the underlines word It in Paragraph 5 refer to__________?
A. Short-term memory B. Physical health C. Forward walking D. Backward walking
57. In which part of the newspaper can we read this passage?
A. Youth Voice B. Star Stories C. Our World D. Science Study
C
China and Western countries may have different cultural beliefs about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have somehow reached an agreement—that pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless.
Just look at the idioms and phrases in our languages. In Chinese, we have the likes of “Boiling a dead pig” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig”. And in English, there are expressions such as “eating like a pig” and “sweating like a pig”. None of them are exactly praise.
But truth is that pigs do have some fine qualities. And maybe there’s no better time to clear their names than now, with the arrival of Year of the Pig on Chinese Spring Festival.
For starters, science had proved that pigs aren’t stupid at all. According to a paper published last year in the International Journal of Comparative Psychology, pigs are “mentally and socially similar to dogs and chimpanzees(黑猩猩)”. By training, pigs can learn some skills, such as dancing and swimming. They like to play. They have good long-term memories. And they can tell between who treat them well and those who don’t.
There are popular pig characters in cartoons too. In the UK cartoon series Peppa Pig, the four members of the cartoon’s pig family teach children from all over the world about love, friendship, and the value of family. And in China, the adventures of McDull, a piglet who works hard toward his dreams even though he keeps failing, have been recounted in films since 2001. “People care too much about the immediate results, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of repeating failure,” said McDull’s creator Brain Tse. “He has a heart of gold.”
Perhaps these are the qualities of pigs to keep in heart when we celebrate the New Year—their wisdom, cuteness, patience and bravery.
58. The writer mentioned some idioms and phrases in Paragraph 2 mainly to show________.
A. all of the idioms and phrases are exactly praise
B. people all agree pigs are ugly, lazy, stupid and shameless
C. the truth that pigs do have some fine qualities
D. there’re many idioms and phrases about pigs in our languages
59. The underlined word “immediate” in Paragraph 5 may mean “__________”.
A.立即的 B.长远的 C.缓慢的 D.间接的
60. What do Paragraph 4 and Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. Pigs aren’t stupid at all. B. Pigs are slow and patient.
C. Pigs have some good qualities. D. We have some cute cartoon pigs.
61. What does the writer write this article for?
A. Clearing the pigs’ names. B. Celebrating the New Year.
C. Introducing languages about pigs. D. Showing different cultural beliefs.
D
The book I would like to talk about is The Merchant of Venice. The book is a dramatic work byShakespear, an English famous writer in the 16th century. It talks about something happening between merchants in Venice. The main characters are Bassanio, Portia, Shylock and Antonio.
The drama begins with Antonio, who helps Bassanio borrow money from Shylock, and then brings out other stories. Bassanio is a poor merchant. He needs money to follow his dream to marry Portia—a very beautiful and rich lady. He first wants to borrow money from his friend Antonio, also a merchant in Venice. Antonio borrows the money from a Jewish rich merchant Shylock. Antonio does much harm to Shylock before because Antonio really hates Jewish. Shylock is a little mean and loves money very much. He always gets interest from the people who borrow money from him. Antonio promises he will pay the money back in three months, or Shylock will be allowed to cut out 1 pound of flesh out of Antonio’s body.
Bassanio successfully wins the love of Portia but soon realizes his friend can not pay the money back to Shylock on time. Bassanioreturns to Venice as fast as he can and attends a trial(审讯).The reason why Antonio isn’t able to pay is because his ships are caught in storm. Portia, dressing up as a young lawyer, claims (声称) that the words “ 1 pound of flesh” not “1 pound of flesh and blood”. She says that Shylock is only allowed to remove flesh, but not any blood, which is impossible. Thus, she helps make Antonio safe and make Shylock fail. At the same time, Shylock loses most of his money. At the end, ▲.
62. The drama has ________ main characters mentioned in this passage.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
63. According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A. The story happens between merchants in England in the 17th century.
B. Antonio can’t return the money because his ships are caught in storm.
C. Shylock is a Jewish rich merchant and he is generous to everyone.
D. Portia is a real lawyer and she is clever enough to save Antonio’s life.
64. Which one can be used to describe Bassanio?
①A true friend ② A romantic lover ③ A poor merchant ④ A mean Jewish
A. ①②④ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②③
65. We can put ___________ in the blank “ ▲” in Paragraph 3.
A. Antonio takes pity on Shylock B. Bassanio and Portia have a happy ending
C. everyone including Shylock lives a happy life D. everyone including Shylock lives a sad life

How to Make the Time for Your Personal Goals
One of the biggest challenges in trying to achieve any personal goal is that we want to put them off until tomorrow, or next week, in order to finish more important things at work and home. Maybe the following can help you find the time for your personal goals.
1. Make one goal at a time
Often the problem is that you try to make too many goals at once. You have a list of things you want to finish and because of that you never start. It’s very difficult to pay attention to too many goals at once. So catching one goal at a time is enough.
2. Be sure you really want it
It’s not enough to say, “It would be nice to learn French” or “It would be cool to do yoga（瑜伽）every morning”. It has to be something you really want. Ask yourself why you want to achieve this goal, and how much you want it.
3. Show that you’re serious
Tell as many people as you can about your goal. Write down your goal carefully. If you can’t even write it down, you’re not serious. Then write out a plan, with dates and actions. Think about problems, and write down your ways to solve them. The plan shows you’re serious.
4. Make it your top task
You all have many things to do in your lives, from school or work to family. If you put all these first, you won’t ever find the time for your goal. Instead, if we make our goal our top task, we’ll make the time.
Four 76 to make the time for your personal goals

Make one goal at a time
◆ You never start 77 you have a list of things to finish.
◆ It’s not 78 to pay attention to too many goals at once.
◆ Catching one goal at a time is enough.
Be sure you 79
want it
◆ Your 80 has to be something you really want.
◆ Ask yourself the 81 for achieving the goal and how much you want it.
Show that you’re serious
◆ Tell as many people as 82 about your goal.
◆ Write down your goal, plan and ways of 83 the problems
Make it your top task
◆ There are many things for you to do in your lives.
◆ You won’t make the time for your goal 84 you put your goal first.
With the steps, you will surely 85 your goals.
With these steps, your goals surely come true.

My name is John. Today I want to say something mainly about my daily life. First I want to say my life has changed a lot. When I was a child, I had a lot of time to play. But now I have to study all day. I used to play baseball and basketball with my classmates, but now I just stay at home and do my homework. I seldom watch TV these days, for I’m often busy preparing for my test. Books are my good friends. I used to read a lot of cartoon books instead of reading textbooks all day like now. I enjoy doing homework with my friends. But my parents don’t allow me to do that, because they think we will talk instead of studying. I disagree. We can learn a lot from each other. My parents are doctors. They expect me to be a doctor too when I grow up, but I want to be a teacher. Maybe I’ll be a doctor anyway, but I don’t think I could be a happy doctor.
