instead 在顺接句子中作“代替”讲，而在转折（或逆转）句子中作“然而”讲。 Lily isn't here. Ask Lucy instead. Lily不在这儿，去问Lucy吧. instead of
instead of是介宾短语，其意与instead相同，不同之处在于它后面常
接宾语，其宾语多由名词、代词、动词ing 形式充当。 I'll go instead of her. 我会替她去。

3)动词是闭音节的单音节词，重读闭音节结尾的多音节，末尾只有一个辅音时，辅音字母须双写，然后加ing(sitting beginning running stopping)

On May 23, Shenzhen introduced tough new rules in order to discourage the “Chinese style of crossing the road”. “Chinese people cross roads without thinking about traffic lights, so long as they are part of a crowd,” said a post on Sina Weibo.
C. being laughed
A CCTV news program showed that in only an hour, more than 600 people jumped red lights when crossing a road in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Many people say that they jaywalk(乱穿马路) because the red light lasts too long. Such an opinion is supported by a research team at Tongji University. The team did research on people’s waiting times at different road crossings for three years. They found that Chinese people would wait for 70 to 90 seconds(秒) before they lost their patience. “People are likely to ignore(忽视) the light when the waiting time is longer than they can bear,” said Ni Ying, a member of the research team.
However, a survey on Sina Weibo suggested that people jaywalk mainly because they ignore rules. “I always obey traffic rules. Time is important but safety should come first,” someone wrote on his Weibo.
Many countries give out punishments to jaywalkers. In Singapore, the maximum can be three months in prison. Some Chinese cities have started taking some actions, too. For example, the first three people in a jaywalking group will be fined 50 yuan in Shijiazhuang.
But calling on people to respect rules is more important. To completely solve the problem, everyone should realize the importance of obeying the traffic rules. 41. Which of the following is the “Chinese style road crossing”? A. To cross a road slowly. B. To follow the basic traffic rules.
C. To wait for the traffic light to turn green. D. To cross roads without looking at traffic lights. 42. What does the phrase “the team” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. A CCTV news program. B. A research group at Tongji University. C. A post on Sina Weibo. D. A daily newspaper.
43. How long will Chinese people wait for to cross the road before they lose patience? A. About five minutes. B. Less than one minute. C. Less than one and a half minutes. D. More than ten minutes. 44. Why do people jaywalk according to the survey on SinaWeibo? A. Because people don’t pay much attention to rules. B. Because there are too many people on the road. C. Because the red light lasts too long. D. Because people have less patience.
45. The writer suggests that we should __________ to solve the problem of
jaywalking.
A. punish the jaywalkers B. reduce (减少) the time of red lights C. ignore the traffic rules D. call on people to obey the traffic rules

Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn’t enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family’s shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that’s what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water – at very high prices.
“A lot of people can’t afford it,” she said.
The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen. 46.The purpose of the text is to _______. A．tell us what life is like in Yemen B．draw our attention to water shortage C．remind us how important water is D．show us ways of solving problems
47.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to _____. A．buying water from shops B．drinking dirty water C．suffering from water shortage D．washing clothes with used water 48.Hannan described _____. A．what her life is like
B．how beautiful Lahej is C．how people use water fully D．how heavy the traffic in Lahej is 49.The Yemen Government _____. A．has found a practical solution B．only cares about rich people C．may try to make use of seawater D．can do nothing about the water supply 50.We can infer from the text that _____. A．Sanaa will run out of water in 10 years B．Hannan is a teenager from a rich family C．the capital of Yemen is developing fast D．private companies make a lot of money

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is the color of most growing plants, too.
Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet finished or plants that are not ripe.
For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed. A century or so later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in war (战争). By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.
About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west. Old-timers used it to describe a man who had just arrived from one of the big cities in the e ast. The greenhorn didn’t have the skills that he would need to live in the hard, rough country.
Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.
A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.
The Green Revolution (革命) is the name which was given some years ago to the
development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural (农业的) scientists who had green thumbs.
51. According to the passage, a greenhorn means________ now. A. a young cow or ox whose horns have not yet developed B. a soldier who has not had any experience in war C. a person who is new in a job
D. a man who doesn’t have the skills to live in the country
52. The meaning of the underlined word “ripe” in the second paragraph is ________.
A.未完成的 B. 成熟的 C. 青涩的 D. 老练的 53. Which of the following about the Green Revolution is NOT right? A. If there weren’t the Green Revolution, we would have no rice to eat. B. The expression “the Green Revolution” appeared several years ago. C. Because of the Green Revolution, we have more kinds of rice and other grains. D. Agricultural scientists with green thumbs started the Green Revolution. 54. We can know from the passage that _______. A. all growing plants is green
B. green is the most important color in nature C. a person with a green thumb can make plants grow well D. the expression “a green thumb” has a history of two hundred years 55. The main idea of the passage is ________. A. a greenhorn B. a green thumb
C. the Green Revolution D. the word “green” and its story

What should you take in with you when you take an exam? Pen, pencil, eraser, ruler…, and don’t forget a bottle of water!
According to a study at the British Psychological ( 心理学的) Society Annual Conference held in London, students who bring water into exams may improve their grades by up to 10 percent.
Scientists at the University of East London and the University of Westminster, UK, did a study on 447 students. The students were studying for different degrees (学历) at the University of East London. Only 25 percent of them entered the exam hall with something to drink.
Scientists then compared their exam results with their normal schoolwork grades. They found that all those who had brought drinks with them got better grades by between 2 and 10 percent.
It is unclear why drinking water improves exam results. But scientists say having enough water in our bodies and not feeling thirsty could have a helpful effect on our brains. Drinking water may also cut down on anxiety ( 焦虑), which has a bad effect on exam performances, according to Chris Pawson, PhD, of the University of East London.
“Whatever the explanation, it is clear that students should try hard to stay hydrated (含水的)with water during exams,” he said.
So next time, when you are going to have a big exam, try bringing a bottle of water with you.Who knows – it may help you pass the exam!
