17．（4.5分）A man was walking through an elephant camp and found that the elephants weren't being kept in cages or held by chains （铁链）.All that was holding them back from escaping the camp was a small piece of rope – it was just tied to one of their legs.
As the man looked at the elephants，he couldn't understand it.Why didn't the elephants just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp？They could have easily done so，but instead，they didn't try at all.He really wanted to know to why it was so，then he asked a trainer nearby.
"When they were very young and much smaller，we used the same size of rope to tie them，and at that age，it was enough to hold them.As they grew up，they still believed that they couldn't break away.They believed the rope could still hold them，so they never tried to break free，" the trainer answered.
The man was speechless.These animals could have broken free whenever they wanted，but it was just because over time，they had the belief that it just wasn't possible.
How many of us go through life like the elephants – holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once or sometimes before？
Failure is part of learning.If we failed once or a few times，it doesn't mean we can never succeed.We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life.
（1）How did the man feel when he found that the elephants didn't try to escape the camp？
A.Angry.
B.Sad.
C.Interested.
D.Speechless.
（2）Why didn't the elephants try to escape？
A.Because there was no need to.
B.Because they were scared of the trainers.
C.Because they didn't believe they could break free.
D.Because the ropes were too hard to break.
（3）What does the story teach us？
A.Hold on the old beliefs.
B.It's okay to give up when challenges are too hard..
C.Try to live the easiest life you can.
D.Try new things from time to time.
18．（6分）
If you hit your head against a tree all day long，you probably wouldn't feel too great and neither would your brain.Woodpeckers do this all the time.
Some animals are human's best friends.The woodpecker is one of them.The bird helps trees to grow by eating worms inside the tree trunk.They find worms by hitting the tree trunk.They hit their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph （24 km/h），20 times a second!So why don't they get headaches？
The answer is in their brains.
The texture（质地）of a woodpecker's brain is different from a human's.Our brain is filled with cerebral spinal fluid（脑脊液）.When we hurt our head，our brain moves around in the fluid.But woodpeckers have none of this fluid.This means that when they hit the tree，their brain is less likely to move around.
Besides，thick muscles and sponge﹣like bones（海绵状骨头） also help to protect the bird's brain.They keep the brain from moving around when the bird is working on a tree trunk.
The fast and strong hitting may also harm the woodpeckers' eyes.Don't worry.The birds have a special trick.They close their thick inner eyelids（眼睑）when hitting the tree.The eyelid acts like a seat belt and keeps the eye from getting out of the head，or the speed would tear the eye.
Scientists even think some of the things they found out about woodpeckers can be used to make better helmets（头盔）.
（1）From Paragraph 2，we learn the following about woodpeckers EXCEPT .
A.they eat worms inside tree trunks
B.they find worms by hitting tree trunks
C.they kill worms by hitting their heads on them
D.they can hit the tree trunk 20 times a second
（2）Which of the following can help woodpeckers protect their brain？
①the texture of their brain
②the cerebral spinal fluid
③thick muscles
④sponge﹣like bones
⑤their inner eyelids
A.①③④
B.②③④
C.①③⑤
D.③④⑤
（3）Woodpeckers close their inner eyelids when hitting trees because it can help them .
A.keep their brain from moving around
B.keep their eyes from getting out of the head
C.see clearly where worms are
D.get the male woodpeckers' attention
（4）In which column of the newspaper can we read the passage？
A.Sport.
B.Health.
C.Money.
D.Science.

19．（5分）Be careful when throwing away wet waste，which may include leftovers and vegetable peel. （1）

（3） When the upper end of the tape is open，the bag can be turned upside﹣down.By holding the tape users can easily throw wet waste into a trash bin without getting their hands dirty.
To invent this is not easy.At first，the tape Shi used was a one﹣off product. （4） So he kept on improving the design.A few months later，the boy got the idea of using weak glue，which allows the waste bag to be reused.He got the idea from Post﹣it notes （便利贴）.

17．（4.5分）A man was walking through an elephant camp and found that the elephants weren't being kept in cages or held by chains （铁链）.All that was holding them back from escaping the camp was a small piece of rope – it was just tied to one of their legs.
As the man looked at the elephants，he couldn't understand it.Why didn't the elephants just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp？They could have easily done so，but instead，they didn't try at all.He really wanted to know to why it was so，then he asked a trainer nearby.
"When they were very young and much smaller，we used the same size of rope to tie them，and at that age，it was enough to hold them.As they grew up，they still believed that they couldn't break away.They believed the rope could still hold them，so they never tried to break free，" the trainer answered.
The man was speechless.These animals could have broken free whenever they wanted，but it was just because over time，they had the belief that it just wasn't possible.
How many of us go through life like the elephants – holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once or sometimes before？
Failure is part of learning.If we failed once or a few times，it doesn't mean we can never succeed.We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life.

【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第四段The man was speechless.（那人说不出话来。）可知当这个人发现大象没有试图逃离营地时，这个人是无语的，故选D。
（2）细节理解题。根据第三段They believed the rope could still hold them，so they never tried to break free，" the trainer answered.（它们相信绳子还能拴住它们，所以它们从来没有试图挣脱，"驯兽师回答。）可知是因为大象自己相信绳子还能拴住它们，所以从来没有试图挣脱，故选C。
（3）主旨大意题。根据第五段How many of us go through life like the elephants – holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once or sometimes before？（我们中有多少人像大象一样度过一生——坚持认为我们不能做某事，仅仅是因为我们曾经失败过一次或有时失败过？）可知文章通过讲述大象被一根小绳子拴着从不想着逃跑的故事，告诉我们在生活中遇到失败时，我们不应该放弃尝试，因此我们要用于尝试新的东西，故选D。

If you hit your head against a tree all day long，you probably wouldn't feel too great and neither would your brain.Woodpeckers do this all the time.
Some animals are human's best friends.The woodpecker is one of them.The bird helps trees to grow by eating worms inside the tree trunk.They find worms by hitting the tree trunk.They hit their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph （24 km/h），20 times a second!So why don't they get headaches？
The answer is in their brains.
The texture（质地）of a woodpecker's brain is different from a human's.Our brain is filled with cerebral spinal fluid（脑脊液）.When we hurt our head，our brain moves around in the fluid.But woodpeckers have none of this fluid.This means that when they hit the tree，their brain is less likely to move around.
Besides，thick muscles and sponge﹣like bones（海绵状骨头） also help to protect the bird's brain.They keep the brain from moving around when the bird is working on a tree trunk.
The fast and strong hitting may also harm the woodpeckers' eyes.Don't worry.The birds have a special trick.They close their thick inner eyelids（眼睑）when hitting the tree.The eyelid acts like a seat belt and keeps the eye from getting out of the head，or the speed would tear the eye.
Scientists even think some of the things they found out about woodpeckers can be used to make better helmets（头盔）.
（1）From Paragraph 2，we learn the following about woodpeckers EXCEPT C .
A.they eat worms inside tree trunks
B.they find worms by hitting tree trunks
C.they kill worms by hitting their heads on them
D.they can hit the tree trunk 20 times a second
（2）Which of the following can help woodpeckers protect their brain？ A
①the texture of their brain
②the cerebral spinal fluid
③thick muscles
④sponge﹣like bones
⑤their inner eyelids
A.①③④
B.②③④
C.①③⑤
D.③④⑤
（3）Woodpeckers close their inner eyelids when hitting trees because it can help them B .
A.keep their brain from moving around
B.keep their eyes from getting out of the head
C.see clearly where worms are
D.get the male woodpeckers' attention
（4）In which column of the newspaper can we read the passage？ D
A.Sport.
B.Health.
C.Money.
D.Science.
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段They find worms by hitting the tree trunk.They hit their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph（24km/h），20 times a second!（它们通过撞击树干来寻找虫子。它们的头以每小时15英里（24公里/小时）的速度撞到树上，每秒20次!）可知，啄木鸟通过撞击树干撞击树干来寻找虫子，而不是用头撞虫子来杀死它们，所以C选项表述不正确。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第四段The texture（质地）of a woodpecker's brain is different from a human's.（啄木鸟大脑的质地与人类不同。）以及第五段Besides，thick muscles and sponge﹣like bones（海绵状骨头）also help to protect the bird's brain.（此外，厚实的肌肉和海绵状的骨头也有助于保护鸟类的大脑。）可知，啄木鸟大脑的结构，厚实的肌肉和海绵状骨头可以帮助它们保护大脑。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段They close their thick inner eyelids（眼睑）when hitting the tree.The eyelid acts like a seat belt and keeps the eye from getting out of the head，or the speed would tear the eye.（它们在撞到树的时候会闭上厚厚的内眼睑。眼睑的作用就像安全带，防止眼睛脱离头部，否则速度会撕裂眼睛。）可知，啄木鸟在撞击树木时会闭上内眼睑，因为这可以帮助它们防止眼睛从脑袋里掉出来。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据第二段They find worms by hitting the tree trunk.They hit their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph（24km/h），20 times a second!So why don't they get headaches？（它们通过撞击树干来寻找虫子。它们的头以每小时15英里（24公里/小时）的速度撞到树上，每秒20次!那么它们为什么不头痛呢？）可知，本文主要介绍了啄木鸟连续撞击树木寻找虫子却又不会引发头疼的原因，属于科普类的文章，所以我们可以在报纸关于科学一栏中看到这篇文章。故选D。

17．（4.5分）A man was walking through an elephant camp and found that the elephants weren't being kept in cages or held by chains （铁链）.All that was holding them back from escaping the camp was a small piece of rope – it was just tied to one of their legs.
As the man looked at the elephants，he couldn't understand it.Why didn't the elephants just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp？They could have easily done so，but instead，they didn't try at all.He really wanted to know to why it was so，then he asked a trainer nearby.
"When they were very young and much smaller，we used the same size of rope to tie them，and at that age，it was enough to hold them.As they grew up，they still believed that they couldn't break away.They believed the rope could still hold them，so they never tried to break free，" the trainer answered.
The man was speechless.These animals could have broken free whenever they wanted，but it was just because over time，they had the belief that it just wasn't possible.
How many of us go through life like the elephants – holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once or sometimes before？
Failure is part of learning.If we failed once or a few times，it doesn't mean we can never succeed.We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life.

If you hit your head against a tree all day long，you probably wouldn't feel too great and neither would your brain.Woodpeckers do this all the time.
Some animals are human's best friends.The woodpecker is one of them.The bird helps trees to grow by eating worms inside the tree trunk.They find worms by hitting the tree trunk.They hit their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph （24 km/h），20 times a second!So why don't they get headaches？
The answer is in their brains.
The texture（质地）of a woodpecker's brain is different from a human's.Our brain is filled with cerebral spinal fluid（脑脊液）.When we hurt our head，our brain moves around in the fluid.But woodpeckers have none of this fluid.This means that when they hit the tree，their brain is less likely to move around.
Besides，thick muscles and sponge﹣like bones（海绵状骨头） also help to protect the bird's brain.They keep the brain from moving around when the bird is working on a tree trunk.
The fast and strong hitting may also harm the woodpeckers' eyes.Don't worry.The birds have a special trick.They close their thick inner eyelids（眼睑）when hitting the tree.The eyelid acts like a seat belt and keeps the eye from getting out of the head，or the speed would tear the eye.
Scientists even think some of the things they found out about woodpeckers can be used to make better helmets（头盔）.
（1）From Paragraph 2，we learn the following about woodpeckers EXCEPT .
A.they eat worms inside tree trunks
B.they find worms by hitting tree trunks
C.they kill worms by hitting their heads on them
D.they can hit the tree trunk 20 times a second
（2）Which of the following can help woodpeckers protect their brain？
①the texture of their brain
②the cerebral spinal fluid
③thick muscles
④sponge﹣like bones
⑤their inner eyelids
A.①③④
B.②③④
C.①③⑤
D.③④⑤
（3）Woodpeckers close their inner eyelids when hitting trees because it can help them .
A.keep their brain from moving around
B.keep their eyes from getting out of the head
C.see clearly where worms are
D.get the male woodpeckers' attention
（4）In which column of the newspaper can we read the passage？
A.Sport.
B.Health.
C.Money.
D.Science.

17．（4.5分）A man was walking through an elephant camp and found that the elephants weren't being kept in cages or held by chains （铁链）.All that was holding them back from escaping the camp was a small piece of rope – it was just tied to one of their legs.
As the man looked at the elephants，he couldn't understand it.Why didn't the elephants just use their strength to break the rope and escape the camp？They could have easily done so，but instead，they didn't try at all.He really wanted to know to why it was so，then he asked a trainer nearby.
"When they were very young and much smaller，we used the same size of rope to tie them，and at that age，it was enough to hold them.As they grew up，they still believed that they couldn't break away.They believed the rope could still hold them，so they never tried to break free，" the trainer answered.
The man was speechless.These animals could have broken free whenever they wanted，but it was just because over time，they had the belief that it just wasn't possible.
How many of us go through life like the elephants – holding onto the belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once or sometimes before？
Failure is part of learning.If we failed once or a few times，it doesn't mean we can never succeed.We should never give up trying when we experience failures in life.

If you hit your head against a tree all day long，you probably wouldn't feel too great and neither would your brain.Woodpeckers do this all the time.
Some animals are human's best friends.The woodpecker is one of them.The bird helps trees to grow by eating worms inside the tree trunk.They find worms by hitting the tree trunk.They hit their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph （24 km/h），20 times a second!So why don't they get headaches？
The answer is in their brains.
The texture（质地）of a woodpecker's brain is different from a human's.Our brain is filled with cerebral spinal fluid（脑脊液）.When we hurt our head，our brain moves around in the fluid.But woodpeckers have none of this fluid.This means that when they hit the tree，their brain is less likely to move around.
Besides，thick muscles and sponge﹣like bones（海绵状骨头） also help to protect the bird's brain.They keep the brain from moving around when the bird is working on a tree trunk.
The fast and strong hitting may also harm the woodpeckers' eyes.Don't worry.The birds have a special trick.They close their thick inner eyelids（眼睑）when hitting the tree.The eyelid acts like a seat belt and keeps the eye from getting out of the head，or the speed would tear the eye.
Scientists even think some of the things they found out about woodpeckers can be used to make better helmets（头盔）.
（1）From Paragraph 2，we learn the following about woodpeckers EXCEPT C .
A.they eat worms inside tree trunks
B.they find worms by hitting tree trunks
C.they kill worms by hitting their heads on them
D.they can hit the tree trunk 20 times a second
（2）Which of the following can help woodpeckers protect their brain？ A
①the texture of their brain
②the cerebral spinal fluid
③thick muscles
④sponge﹣like bones
⑤their inner eyelids
A.①③④
B.②③④
C.①③⑤
D.③④⑤
（3）Woodpeckers close their inner eyelids when hitting trees because it can help them B .
A.keep their brain from moving around
B.keep their eyes from getting out of the head
C.see clearly where worms are
D.get the male woodpeckers' attention
（4）In which column of the newspaper can we read the passage？ D
A.Sport.
B.Health.
C.Money.
D.Science.
【解答】（1）细节理解题。根据第二段They find worms by hitting the tree trunk.They hit their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph（24km/h），20 times a second!（它们通过撞击树干来寻找虫子。它们的头以每小时15英里（24公里/小时）的速度撞到树上，每秒20次!）可知，啄木鸟通过撞击树干撞击树干来寻找虫子，而不是用头撞虫子来杀死它们，所以C选项表述不正确。故选C。
（2）细节理解题。根据第四段The texture（质地）of a woodpecker's brain is different from a human's.（啄木鸟大脑的质地与人类不同。）以及第五段Besides，thick muscles and sponge﹣like bones（海绵状骨头）also help to protect the bird's brain.（此外，厚实的肌肉和海绵状的骨头也有助于保护鸟类的大脑。）可知，啄木鸟大脑的结构，厚实的肌肉和海绵状骨头可以帮助它们保护大脑。故选A。
（3）细节理解题。根据倒数第二段They close their thick inner eyelids（眼睑）when hitting the tree.The eyelid acts like a seat belt and keeps the eye from getting out of the head，or the speed would tear the eye.（它们在撞到树的时候会闭上厚厚的内眼睑。眼睑的作用就像安全带，防止眼睛脱离头部，否则速度会撕裂眼睛。）可知，啄木鸟在撞击树木时会闭上内眼睑，因为这可以帮助它们防止眼睛从脑袋里掉出来。故选B。
（4）推理判断题。根据第二段They find worms by hitting the tree trunk.They hit their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph（24km/h），20 times a second!So why don't they get headaches？（它们通过撞击树干来寻找虫子。它们的头以每小时15英里（24公里/小时）的速度撞到树上，每秒20次!那么它们为什么不头痛呢？）可知，本文主要介绍了啄木鸟连续撞击树木寻找虫子却又不会引发头疼的原因，属于科普类的文章，所以我们可以在报纸关于科学一栏中看到这篇文章。故选D。
