The more books bought, the higher the member s grade.BMary Anning was an English fossil collector, dealer and paleontologist(銼uirf[禰). Her fossil-hunting helped change the way people thought about the world.Mary was born into a poor family in England on May 21, 1799. She lived in the seaside town of Lyme Regis, in Dorset. The family had nine children. Only Mary and her brother Joseph grew up. Mary抯 father took his children along the beach. They picked up shells and stones to sell to visitors. Mary did not go to school much. Her family was too poor. And schools did not teach children about fossils. Mary could read and write. She taught herself. She learned about rocks and how bodies are made.In 1811 when Mary and Joseph were fossil hunting, Joseph saw a bone sticking out of the rock. Mary had a hammer to chip away at the rock. Very carefully she uncovered it. She found the first complete fossil of the ichthyosaur(|湙?.Since then, Mary became crazy about fossil hunting. She liked to hunt on the beach after a storm. The wind, rain and waves made the rocks crumble. It was easy to spot fossils. Most days Mary went fossil hunting with her dog, Tray.Rich friends helped Mary by selling fossils for her. They sent her money. Scientists wrote letters and came to see her. One good friend was William Buckland, a professor at Oxford University. Mary also opened a shop to sell fossils, stones and shells. She chatted with visitors.Mary Anning died in1847. How evolution works was explained by Charles Darwin not long after Mary died. Her fossils had helped scientists understand how things began.4. Why did Mary抯 father take his children along the beach?A. To enjoy life. B. To make a living. C. To look for fossils. D. To teach them about fossils.5. What can we learn about Mary?A. Her father was a paleontologist. B. Her father educated her at home.C. She had nine brothers and sisters in all. D. She might be popular at that time.6.

The latest to join the trend is Amazon. ollowing a successful eight-month test run in Snohomish County, Washington, the company抯 Scout robots have been making the rounds of Irvine, California, since August 6, 2019.The six-wheeled Scout is about the size of a large cooler with the ability to carry small or medium-sized packages. The battery-powered vehicle, which moves at a regular walking pace, has been programmed to avoid pedestrians, animals, and unexpected obstacles, such as garbage cans. Its powerful sensors can also detect the movement of a car backing out of a driveway.While Amazon is focusing on home deliveries, San Francisco-based Starship Technologies has its eyes set on universities. On August 20, 2019, the company announced plans to use thousands of robots to deliver food and other things to students at college campuses across the country. Unlike Scout, Starship抯 robots are seasoned workers. They have been tested in over 100 cities in 20 different countries and successfully completed over 100, 000 deliveries.Meanwhile, food and grocery delivery company Postmates robots are currently making their rounds along the busy San Francisco streets. Also in testing, the robots can carry up to 50 pounds and travel 30 miles on a single battery charge.Though the eco-friendly robots will help free our streets of bicycles and large delivery trucks that typically send packages, they have some limitations. They are unable to climb stairs or open gates, which means that they can only reach consumers who live on the ground level. Additionally, the robots are unable to leave packages at the front door if the customers are not home. Whether these problems get solved remains to be seen. For now, it appears that humans will still be needed to meet the ever-growing demand for home and office deliveries.8. What does the underlined part in para. l mean?A. much more help B. very close distance C. substitute for human D. the last section9. We can learn from the passage that ________A. Powerful robots sensors are gaining popularity in delivery.B. The Postmates robots focus on students' food and grocery delivery.C. The Scout can avoid obstacles because it moves at a regular pace.D. Delivery robots have turned up in universities to serve students.10. What s author s attitude towards delivery robotsA. Objective B. Optimistic C. Pessimistic D. Cautious11. From which is the text probably takenA. a biology textbook B. a health magazine C. a newspaper D. a travel brochureDMove over, helicopter parents.  Snowplow(kb陽:g) parents are the newest reflection of an intensive(:_S剉) parenting style that can include parents booking their adult children haircuts, texting their college kids to wake them up so they don抰 sleep through a test, and even calling their kids employers.Helicopter parenting, the practice of wandering anxiously near one抯 children, monitoring their every activity, is so 20th century. Some rich mothers and fathers now are more like snowplows: machines moving ahead, clearing any difficulties in their children抯 path to success, so they don抰 have to suffer failure, frustration or lose opportunities.It starts early, when parents get on wait lists for excellent preschools before their babies are born and try to make sure their kids never do anything that may frustrate them. It gets more intense when school starts: running forgotten homework to school or calling a coach to request that their children make the team.Rich parents may have more time and money to devote to making sure their children don抰 ever meet with failure, but it抯 not only rich parents practicing snowplow parenting. This intensive parenting has become the most welcome way to raise children, regardless of income, education, or race.Yes, it抯 a parent抯 job to support the children, and to use their adult wisdom to prepare for the future when their children aren抰 mature enough to do so. That抯 why parents hide certain toys from babies to avoid getting angry or take away a teenager抯 car keys until he finishes his college applications.But snowplow parents can take it too far, some experts say. If children have never faced a difficulty, what happens when they get into the real world?揝olving problems, taking risks and overcoming frustration are key life skills, many child development experts say, 揳nd if parents don抰 let their children experience failure, the children don抰 acquire them.12. What do we know about snowplow parenting?A. It appeared before helicopter parenting.B. It costs parents less than helicopter parenting.C. It was a typical phenomenon of the 20th century.D. It provides more than enough services for children.13. What does the fourth paragraph mainly say about snowplow parenting?A. Its cost. B. Its benefits. C. Its popularity. D. Its ending time.14. Why does the author mention parents taking away car keys?A. To show teenagers are no better than babies.B. To advise teenagers not to treat their cars as toys.C. To advise parents not to buy cars for their teenagers.D. To show it抯 correct to help children when necessary.15. What抯 the possible result of snowplow parenting according to the experts?A. Children lacking problem-solving ability in reality.B. Children mastering more key life skills than parents.C. Children gaining great success in every aspect of life.D. Children meeting no problems or frustration after growing up.孨0N 悢N (qQ5\槝蟢\槝2.5R 醤R12.5R)Tests can be stressful even for the best students. __16__ Fortunately, there are several steps you can take to make your stress much more manageable.Get Enough SleepGetting 6 hours of sleep or less can put you into what's called a sleep deficit(N硩),which makes you less sharp mentally and prevents you from performing properly on tests. __17__ This way, you needn't stay up for the test and can get a good night of sleep before your big day.Study Smarter__18__ Make a list of the most important things you need to learn and hit the items at the top of the list first. This will ensure they're mostly covered if you run out of time. Make a list of all the work you have to do, estimate how long each item will take, and compare that with the amount of hours you have available. This will tell you if you can carefully read or just skim, how many times you can afford to revise the papers.Visualize(骮a?SuccessA proven way to build your confidence is to visualize yourself taking the tests and doing wonderfully. Visualization can not only help you perform better in the tests but can help you remember facts. You can create detailed situations that involve the information you're trying to remember. 燺_19__Stay CalmThere're several techniques that can help you calm down quickly.__20__ Just close your eyes, take a deep breath, hold it for a while and then let it out slowly. Your stress will come out with your exhales(|Tl).A. Be organized with your studies.B. Extra time on tests can bring success to students.C. Test anxiety has a negative impact on your performance.D.
