Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has a long history. The 1 medical classic in China, Huangdi’s Classic on Medicine, came out more than 2, 000 years ago.

The human body needs such a balance too. TCM helps to do that.
For some health problems, there is a 3 that a doctor of TCM does not give you medicine. Instead, he may give you just a good plan and right ways to eat. For example, it is common to 4 on the way to school, at our work desk, or in front of the TV. But TCM thinks it’s wrong.

A Fun Plant Experiment(试验) to Try at Home!Without water, plants would die. Do you know how water gets from the roots of a plant to the rest of the plant? The water goes through tiny tubes(管) that form pathways(小径) to all parts of the plant. This is similar to how blood flows in our bodies. And here is an experiment to prove(证明) it.
Materials

When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book, and a poor man got it. The book was not very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed. It was a thin strip of vellum（羊皮纸） on which the secret of the “Touchstone” was written. The stone was a small pebble（鹅暖石） that can turn any common metal into pure gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. The secret was this: The real stone will feel warm while ordinary pebbles are cold.
So the man sold his house, bought a tent, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up normal pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might pick up the same pebbles hundreds of times. So when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this, but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold---throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched（延伸） into months and the months into years.
One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble, and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He was used to throwing each pebble into the see as he picked up. When the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.
It was opportunity（机会）. Unless we are careful enough, it’s easy to fail to realize an opportunity when it is in hand, and it’s just as easy to throw it away.
21．According to the passage, the man searched for the touchstone because ________.
A．it could bring people good luck B．it could make people stay warm
C．it could turn common metal into pure gold D．it could bring people thousands of pebbles
22．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．The man had spent almost one year testing pebbles before he got the touchstone.
B．The man threw the cold pebbles into the sea to avoid picking the same pebble again and again.
C．The man threw the touchstone into the sea because he didn’t know whether it was warm.
D．The man sold his house and bought a new one near the sea.
23．Which of the following is the right order?
①The man threw the touchtone into the sea before he recognized what he had done.
②The great library of Alexandria was on fire.
③The man got a book from which people would know how to get the touchstone.
④The man spent a whole day picking up the normal pebbles and throwing them into the sea.
⑤The man camped near the sea and started his search for the touchstone.
A．②④⑤①③ B．②④①⑤③ C．②③④①⑤ D．②③⑤④①
24．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．the library B．the book C．the touchstone D．the secret
25．What does the writer want to tell us?
A．Opportunity knocks but once. B．Practice makes perfect.
C．God helps those who help themselves. D．Where there is a will, there is a way.

Recently, I’ve read a research report which suggests that having a pet is good for children. It’s impossible for my children who wants to keep a pet at home to read this, because I didn’t let them do.
A study published in JAMA Pediatrics shows that children who had a dog in their first year of life can have less chance of developing asthma (哮喘) by the time they were six than those from dog-free families. It is believed that children are more likely to develop allergies (过敏) if they grow up in super-clean environments.
It is reported that 46%of families in the UK have pets, with dogs and then cats the most common animals. A study of 397 babies in 2012 found that, during their first year of life, those whose parents had dogs or cats had fewer colds than those from homes without pets. The researchers think this is because they brought in more dirt from outside to cause the babies’ immune systems (免疫系统) to work well.
The research shows that having a pet may make children feel more popular and be more understanding. Older studies found that pets increased the amount of time families spent together.
Pets can help children to learn to be responsible as well. Brush the fur, clean the place they sleep, feed them, take more exercise (if you get a dog)…
So keeping pets is really good for improving children’s health and their qualities. However, I still can’t ignore (忽视) the trouble pets may bring. After all, both dogs and cats poop (大便) at home, and they can carry worms or other parasites (寄生虫). Also, it seems that few children look after the animals. They repeatedly asked their parents for help.
26．According to the research, children can ________ when they have pets at home.
A．completely stay away from asthma B．live in a super-clean environment
C．be more responsible D．get better grades at school
27．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?
A．Few families in the UK keep pets.
B．All families will choose to keep pets at home.
C．Children hardly ever share the care of pets with parents.
D．The writer won’t allow her children to keep a pet at home.
28．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “qualities” in the last paragraph?
A．品德 B．特征 C．质量 D．标准
29．The structure of the passage may be ________.
(①＝paragraph 1(第一段), ②＝paragraph 2...)
A． B． C． D．
30．The best title of the passage is ________.
A．Keep Pets, Good or Not? B．Keep Pets, Clean or Not?
C．More Pets, More Responsibility! D．No Pets, No Illness!


三、阅读还原6选5
Have you ever wondered why some people live long, but others don’t? Many scientists have studied the mysteries of a long life for years.
Thousands of studies support the idea that a long life is influenced by two major（主要的）things.
It’s not surprising that genetics（遗传学）is a major influence. 31 They have parents and grandparents who lived long lives. Their parents have passed on these genes to them. Howard Friedman, a health scientist, says genetics explains about1/3 of why people live to an old age.
The other major influence is basic health care. 32 Besides, eating good food and drinking clean water are both helpful.
However, recently, scientists have found the way a person thinks about life can influence how long that person lives!
33 For instance, in Okinawa, Japan, plenty of people are over the age of 100. They have an idea called ikigai or life purpose. Scientists believe it’s one of the reasons why Okinawa has so many long-lived people.
Staying active is the second important personal quality. It’s not the same as doing difficult exercise. 34
Another quality is helping people. When researching the influence of love, scientists expected to find that people who felt loved would live longer. But this wasn’t what they found. Feeling loved made people have a better feeling. 35
People can’t change their genes. And it’s difficult to improve a whole community’s health care system. However, the new research results show there are things each of us can do to help change how long we live.
A．Many studies show that having a sense of purpose is important.
B．Instead, it’s the most important to remain active in a natural way, doing something you enjoy.
C．Some people’s bodies simply have special advantages.
D．Nobody can change his or her genes.
E．For example, a person getting vaccines（疫苗） will avoid many serious illnesses.
F．However, loving and caring for others did make people live longer.

51．例文：
A school did a survey among the Junior 3 students about how often they practice speaking English and how they practice English. Here are the results. The results of the survey show that 17% of the students hardly ever practise speaking English. 45% of the students usually practise speaking English, 38% of the students practise speaking English sometimes. How do you practise speaking English? Most students speak more only in class. Some of the students talk with friends in English. Some students practise speaking English in other ways.
In my opinion, we should talk with our partners in English as much as we can. Also, we should often listen to English stories in order to improve our understanding of English. Never be afraid of speaking English in front of others! This is quite important. Over and above, we should learn more English words. Only in this way, can we be good English speakers!
