Did you know that although peanuts look like nuts and taste like nuts, they arent nuts at all? They belong to the pea family, so they are called peanuts. The peanut grows flowers above ground, but its fruit grows underground. It grows in more countries than most other nuts”.The peanut is a native South American plant. Scientists believe that it grew wild in Brazil long ago. They think that for several thousand years the early peoples of South America made it a part of their diet. These peoples were nomads who moved on when a natural food could no longer be found in one area. Along the way they probably let fall some peanuts, which got into the ground and grew. This is believed to be the way the plant reached the place where the Incas（印加人）lived. The Incas, from about 1100 to 1532, thought highly of peanuts. The peanuts were eaten in several forms and used as sacrificial offerings（祭品）to the Incan Sun God. Later in the 16th century, European soldiers had brought peanuts to other parts of the world, including North America, Africa, Asia, Europe, and Pacific Islands.Although peanuts were found native in South America, they are now grown in almost every country that has warm weather. India produces the most peanuts. Chinas production is next, followed by the United States.The peanut is special in more ways than one. It can be eaten raw, boiled, roasted, or fried. Hundreds of widely different products have been made from it. Carver, an American scientist, set himself the task of discovering new uses for eating and for many other products.Peanuts are very highly nutritious and are also high in protein （蛋白質(zhì)）. Americans use about seven-tenths of their protein in the form of meat. In India, where the poor cant pay for meat or milk, peanut meal and peanut milk have been produced. These have been a great help to the poor.New products are continually being made from peanuts, among them peanut cheese and a powder that becomes peanut butter when water is added. The fact is that peanuts are so healthy that they were used by astronauts. The unusual nut that isnt a nut is one of natures most amazing gifts.（1）Although we like eating peanuts, many of us dont know peanuts belong to _ family.A . the peaB . the nutC . both the pea and the nutD . neither the pea nor the nut（2）Which paragraph（段落）mainly talks about the history of the peanut?A .

Today, teachers and parents inform children that being popularis irrelevant(不相干的), unnecessary and a sure shortcut to upset, misery, and death. And some people describe popular students as the ones most likely to bum out and end up as nobody, while their less well-liked counterparts enjoy a life of wealth and fame.However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines(定義)popularity as: TheState or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people This sounds like a lovely thing, and is not related to such behaviors as burn books” or three-way phone calls in Mean Girls.In fact, it is a truth widely acknowledged that young people who feel liked or supported are more likely to obtain impressive achievements than those who feel lonely, unvalued, and irrelevant socially.So why, then, is popularity given such a bad name? Why is this state of well-likedness so demonized?Basically, the hatred (恨) shown toward what appears to be a very pleasant thing is caused by lack of understanding. When we, as viewers, see characters such as Regina Georges on TV and in films, we recognize them to be popular. These characters, if not exactly liked, greatly admired by their peers(同伴).Our mistake comes when we try to understand their cruel and unkind actions using the deduction(推論)method.Humans are imperfect, and even the most intelligent mind is open to dishonesty through a very small slip in logic. Unfortunately, this occurs here with branding results.We first learn that a character is popular. Since this is important to the plot, it is constantly emphasized, leading it to be the most common thing in our minds when we consider the character.Later, we see that character do something unkind. The characters most noticeable characteristic (in our minds) is his/her popularity. And now the character is mean and unkind. This character is popular.Therefore, we jump to a quick conclusion (結(jié)論) that popular people are mean and unkind.Things such as improper behaviors and rumor-spreading are terrible and should always be seen in a very serious light. However, it is important to recognize that these are not the behaviors of popular people, but bullies.So, in summary, do not be afraid to be popular and have many friends. If you are kind to everyone and treat others with respect, there will be few who can criticize you, for being widely liked is not a curse but a blessing. Just remember that being popular does give you a degree of power, and with great power comes a large electricity bill!（1）The writer mentions the definition of popularity in paragraph 2 to _. A . bring up his opinionB . give an exampleC . come to a conclusionD . offer his suggestion（2）What can we learn from the passage? A . Being popular might offer a shortcut to a life of wealth.B . Students who feel supported have a better chance to achieve more.C . Popular students are usually famous but mean and unkind.D . The less well-liked people consider being popular as something bad.（3）Paragraph 4 and 5 are mainly about _. A . the importance of being admired by peersB . the ways to clear up some misunderstandingC . the advantages and disadvantages of being popularD . the reasons why people show hatred to being popular（4）The writer probably agrees that _. A . cheerleader types will surely end up as nobodyB . being popular is unnecessary for most studentsC . treating others with kindness is beneficial to popular peopleD . famous people are likely to make mistakes and be criticized19. （15分）閱讀下面短文，并用英語回答問題(請(qǐng)注意每小題后面的詞數(shù)要求)。 Mr. Reynolds, my teacher, handed us a list of thoughts, and asked us to write a paper on one of those thoughts. I chose the topic I wonder why things are the way they are.I wrote down all the questions that puzzled(困擾)me about life. I realized that many of them were hard to answer，and perhaps others could not be answered at all. When I handed in my paper，I was afraid that I might fail because I did not answer the questions. The next day, Mr. Reynolds handed me the paper and asked me to read it for the class. The other students became quiet as I began to read my story：Mum, why are the roses red? Why is the grass green and the sky blue? Why do I have to graduate(畢業(yè))？Why do I have to grow up? Why do I have to be called Grandma one day？Dad, why cant I stay out until 12: 00? Why do I miss my old friends? Why do I miss being at home? Why do you love me so much？Mum, Dad, why did you have to leave me? I need you.At the end of my story, I looked at Mr. Reynolds, and I saw a tear slowly coming down his face. Then I realized that life is not built on the answers we receive, but on the questions we ask. （1）Why was the writer afraid that she might fail？(不超過10個(gè)詞) （2）What did the teacher ask the writer to do for the class？(不超過15個(gè)詞) （3）What did the writer realize at the end of the story？(不超過15個(gè)詞) 四、 補(bǔ)全對(duì)話。 (共1題；共5分)20. （5分）選擇方框內(nèi)的選項(xiàng)填空，使對(duì)話完整，并將答題卡上該選項(xiàng)涂黑。A: Hello, Bob._B: Hello, Jack.
