12．（6分）Students will be given lessons on how to sleep in Scotland for the first time.Schools will get materials to teach students how to get enough sleep.The teaching created by the charity Sleep Scotland is used to be part of the school course.Its aim is to help people realize the importance of sleep for young people's bodies and minds.

    The charity said watching TV and using computers and mobile phones at night can prevent children getting the nine hours of sleep they need.Sleep Scotland，which also offers a sleep advising service，said getting enough sleep can improve grades and physical health.However，less sleep can lead to be heavy and have a greater risk of feeling hopeless.

    Jane Ansell，leader of Sleep Scotland，said， "I don't think any parent would send out their child without enough food in the morning，or beautiful clothing，and they know how important exercise is，so why should you send your child out without enough sleep？"

    The charity hopes to tell young people why they need a full night's sleep and how to develop good sleeping habits.Kate Pearce，a teacher of guidance，said， "We've studied it for more than three years.Students often find it very difficult to get up in the morning and pay attention to their study.Sleep is surely a problem for them."

    Research shows that sleep time for children around the world has decreased over the past 10 to 20 years.A report said young people often believed they could make up for（弥补） sleep time by sleeping late at weekends.However，by going to bed later at weekends they were actually forcing a change in their body clocks，and it may influence their study on Monday mornings.

（1）What can we learn from the first two paragraphs in Scotland？ 　   　

A.All children have nine hours of sleep.

B.Children can't sleep well at night.

C.Schools used to have no lessons on sleep.

D.Many people feel hopeless.

C.It's helpful to sleep more at weekends.

D.Less sleep may make children heavy.

14．（8分）In modern society there is a lot of disagreement about competition.Some welcome it ，believing that it is good for social progress.Others say that competition is bad.It sets one person against another.And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

    I have taught many children who believe that their self﹣worth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often life﹣and﹣death matters.In their single﹣minded dream of success，the development of many other human qualities（品质） is sadly forgotten.

    However，while some seem to be lost in the desire（ 渴 望 ）to succeed，others take a different attitude.In a culture which values only the winners，they are strongly against competition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures（ 压力）from their parents or society.They are always told to be the top ones，but they think it's really hard.When I teach these young people，I often find them in a desire to fail.They seem to search for failure（失败）by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying，they always have an excuse： "I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.If I had tried and lost，that would mean a lot."

    Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief.They think one's self﹣respect depends on how well one does compared with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this fear begins to dissolve （ 消 除 ） can we discover a new meaning in competition.

（1）Why do some people welcome competition according to the passage？ 　   　

A.It pushes society forward.

B.It improves one's abilities.

C.It develops human qualities.

D.It builds up friendly relationship.

（2）The underlined phrase "the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means  　   　.

A.those who try their best to win

B.those who value competition most highly

C.those who depend on others most for success

D.those who are against competition most strongly

（3）Which of the following may the writer agree to？ 　   　

A.Every effort should be paid back.

B.Competition should be encouraged.

C.Winning should be a life﹣and﹣death matter.

D.Fear of failure should be dissolved（ 消 除 ） in competition.

（4）What does this passage mainly talk  about？ 　   　

A.Competition helps to set up self﹣respect.

B.Competition is bad for social development.

C.Ideas about competition are different among people.

D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.

15．（8分）It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles.But in fact，some clothing companies are already making such clothes.

    Fashion brand JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai.Eighteen clothing items from the collection，including jackets，shirts and dresses，were made from recycled plastic bottles.

    "We realized that billions of water bottles were being thrown into landfills（垃圾填埋场） and oceans every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose（分解）.We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment，" said Alia Juma，the company's design director.

    Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days.The process is rather simple.First，the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces.Then they are melted（熔化）and shaped into small balls.The balls are melted again to form thread（线）.People can then use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.

    According to Juma，it takes 67，000 bottles to create 1 ton of thread.This reduces carbon emissions（碳排放）by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making thread.

    "Four bottles can make one pillowcase（枕套）.Five can make a shirt，10 a dress and 20 a short coat，" Juma said.Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles.But according to Causeartist，a website that focuses on innovation（创新），clothes made from plastics could be even better than nylon（尼龙）and polyester（聚酯纤维）.Plastic thread can be made into different textures（材质），such as cotton，silk or even wool.It seems that this innovation may lead to a greener future of fashion.

（1）Why did JUMA make clothes out of plastic bottles？ 　   　

A.To compete with other companies.

B.To create a new fashion.

C.To help the environment.

D.To meet the needs of their design director.

（2）How to make clothes out of plastic bottles？Choose the right order. 　   　

①they are melted（熔化）and shaped into small balls.

②people use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.

③the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces.

④the balls are melted again to form thread（线）.

A.③④①②

B. ③①④②

C. ②③①④

D. ②③④①

（3）According to Causeartist，clothes made from plastic bottles  　   　.

A.will cause doubts

B.are strange to wear

C.are of better quality

D.need to be greener

（4）What's the best title of this passage？ 　   　

A.Clothes made from plastics.

B.The process of making clothes.

C.The reason for making plastic clothes.

D.Save our planet.

16．（10分）Growing up is hard for everyone.（1）　   　Now imagine facing all of that stress while being in the spotlight （聚光灯）.That's what Canadian singer Justin Bieber had to deal with as he grew up.He was first discovered by a music producer when he was just 13 years old.（2）　   　And he has sold millions of albums and toured the world.But at the time of his success，he also struggled with mental （精神上的） illness .

    （3）　   　Bieber recently wrote a post （帖子） on Instagram，saying that growing up in the spotlight was indeed quite challenging."I went from a 13﹣year﹣old boy from a small town to being praised left and right by the world...I made every bad decision you could have thought of and went from one of the most loved people...to the most hated person in the world，" he wrote.He credited（把...归功于） his wife，Hailey Baldwin，with helping him turn his life around.

    （4）　   　Actors Edward Furlong and Macaulay Culkin saw their lives take a downward （向下的） turn after they achieved success in Hollywood during their childhoods.

    Why did they experience this？ "Childhood is about finding out who you are and being able to relate to（与…相处） others.（5）　   　Too much public scrutiny （监视） makes it hard for kids to do that." Eileen Kennedy﹣ Moore told USA Today.

14．（8分）In modern society there is a lot of disagreement about competition.Some welcome it ，believing that it is good for social progress.Others say that competition is bad.It sets one person against another.And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

    I have taught many children who believe that their self﹣worth depended on how well they did at tennis and other skills.For them，playing well and winning are often life﹣and﹣death matters.In their single﹣minded dream of success，the development of many other human qualities（品质） is sadly forgotten.

    However，while some seem to be lost in the desire（ 渴 望 ）to succeed，others take a different attitude.In a culture which values only the winners，they are strongly against competition.Among the most vocal are youngsters who are under competitive pressures（ 压力）from their parents or society.They are always told to be the top ones，but they think it's really hard.When I teach these young people，I often find them in a desire to fail.They seem to search for failure（失败）by not trying to win or achieve success.By not trying，they always have an excuse： "I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try.If I had tried and lost，that would mean a lot."

    Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves.Both are based on the mistaken belief.They think one's self﹣respect depends on how well one does compared with others.Both are afraid of not being valued.Only as this fear begins to dissolve （ 消 除 ） can we discover a new meaning in competition.

A.Every effort should be paid back.

B.Competition should be encouraged.

C.Winning should be a life﹣and﹣death matter.

D.Fear of failure should be dissolved（ 消 除 ） in competition.

（4）What does this passage mainly talk  about？ 　C　

A.Competition helps to set up self﹣respect.

B.Competition is bad for social development.

C.Ideas about competition are different among people.

D.Failures are necessary experiences in competition.

（4）C.主旨大意题。根据In modern society there is a lot of disagreement about competition.Some welcome it ，believing that it is good for social progress.Others say that competition is bad.It sets one person against another.And it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.在现代社会中，关于竞争有许多不同意见。一些人对此表示欢迎，认为这有利于社会进步。还有人说竞争不好。它使一个人与另一个人对立。它导致人与人之间不友好的关系。及全文可知短文讲述了对于现代社会竞争的不同观点。故选C。

15．（8分）It might be strange to wear clothes made out of plastic bottles.But in fact，some clothing companies are already making such clothes.

    Fashion brand JUMA recently showed its newest collection at a workshop in Shanghai.Eighteen clothing items from the collection，including jackets，shirts and dresses，were made from recycled plastic bottles.

    "We realized that billions of water bottles were being thrown into landfills（垃圾填埋场） and oceans every year and that these bottles take hundreds of years to decompose（分解）.We thought we should use them to create our clothes and help the environment，" said Alia Juma，the company's design director.

    Many other fashion companies are finding similar ways to save our planet these days.The process is rather simple.First，the plastic bottles are washed and cut into small pieces.Then they are melted（熔化）and shaped into small balls.The balls are melted again to form thread（线）.People can then use the thread to make different kinds of clothes.

    According to Juma，it takes 67，000 bottles to create 1 ton of thread.This reduces carbon emissions（碳排放）by 4.2 tons and water use by 6.2 tons compared with the normal way of making thread.

    "Four bottles can make one pillowcase（枕套）.Five can make a shirt，10 a dress and 20 a short coat，" Juma said.Some people might have doubts about wearing something made out of plastic bottles.But according to Causeartist，a website that focuses on innovation（创新），clothes made from plastics could be even better than nylon（尼龙）and polyester（聚酯纤维）.Plastic thread can be made into different textures（材质），such as cotton，silk or even wool.It seems that this innovation may lead to a greener future of fashion.
