羊的习性
Most people think sheep are stupid, friendly and harmless animals. The sheep are good for two things, being eaten and producing wool. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know. They build up friendships and stick up for one another in fights.
A 2001 study done by Keith Kendrick, who is now at the University of Electronic Science and Technology in China, found that sheep can remember at least 50 personal faces for more than 2 years. That is longer than many people.
“Sheep showed clear signs of being good at telling the differences,” says Kendrick. The team also found that sheep can separate expressions and prefer a smile to a frown(皱眉).
At the time Kendrick told BBC News,“The sheep's brain is organized. They must have some kinds of reaction (反应) to what they see in the world.”
Sheep also have complex social structures(结构). Over twenty years ago, researchers from the University of California observed for three years and discovered that they set up friendships and looked out for one another in times of need. “They can form long term relationships... they help weaker friends and support each other in fights,” says the 1993 study. They say that sheep are able to experience many feelings, from fear to anger, and from sadness to happiness.
1. According to the passage, the sheep offer people __________.
A. legs and head B. meat and wool C. head and meat D. legs and wool
2. The underlined word “complex” means “ ________” in Chinese.

A. 单一的 B. 复杂的 C. 多彩的 D. 固定的
3. The researchers from the University of California observed the sheep __________.

C. for three years D. for twenty years
4. Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Sheep are usually regarded as friendly animals.

D. Sheep are able to experience many feelings.

(2019中考选练)
A serious earthquake can be a terrible experience, and it is easy to forget safety measures(措施) in disorder(混乱). Fortunately, most earthquake safety measures are common sense, but if you forget everything else, remember the following instructions: drop, cover, and hold on. Also, most of earthquake deaths happen after the earthquake, so remember that the danger does not end when the shaking does!
If you stay indoors during an earthquake, move away from unsupported areas and windows. Try to get under a doorway or another area of the building which is held up by strong beams(梁). Stay under a table or desk only if it is very strong. Do not rush to lifts, because it is far safer to stay where you are. Cover your head with your arms around it and curl(蜷缩) into a ball, and wait for the shaking to stop.
If you stay outdoors during an earthquake, move to an area which is as open as possible. Don’t move to buildings, electric poles and other objects which may fall during an earthquake and injure you. Protect your head and stay low to the ground till the shaking ends and it is safe to move.
After an earthquake, many buildings are less strong, although they appear safe. If you stay indoors, move people from the building quickly and help disabled or injured people. Once outdoors, move well away from the building so that if it falls down, you will not be injured. Wait till public safety officials announce that it is safe to stay indoors.
By planning ahead and keeping calm during an earthquake, you can greatly increase your chances of survival(生存) without injury.

A. especially B. gradually C. luckily D. finally
8

A. are planned for children B. help us to keep safe

A. to take a lift B. to stay under a strong table
C. to get under a doorway D. to cover the head with arms around it

A.trying to protect your head

二、任务型阅读。
In today’s busy world, it’s easy to put everyone else first. With the needs of work and family, you might feel that there’s not much time left over for you. Perhaps you even feel sorry about taking up time for yourself — after all, shouldn’t you spend that time with your kids, or your spouse(配偶), or your parents?
We all need time to rest and recharge. If life feels so busy that you believe you can’t manage to have a few hours for yourself, then it’s especially important that you make some “me time”.
You Need to Take Care of Your Health
8
If you run yourself into the ground, you’re not going to be much help to the people around you. You need to remind yourself that your health is important. Good physical and mental health requires care of your body, mind and soul.
You Want Space to Breathe and Think
If your life is starting to feel like a treadmill(跑步机), it’s time to stop. When you’re in the thick of things, it’s hard to get more ideas. Perhaps you’re struggling with a particular decision – like a choice of jobs, or the chance to take an important qualification(资格考试). It can be all too easy to put off decisions or make hurried choices if you don’t take the time to stop and think.
You Are Important Too
Sometimes, we put other people first because we’re secretly sure that they’re more important or needier than us. We don’t care about our own needs – in order to help them. Perhaps you’ve got a relative who’s ill, or a friend who’s facing huge struggles in his life, but don’t forget that you are important too.
No matter how busy you are, you can find time for yourself – even though you have to start with just a few minutes each day, or an hour or two every weekend. What could you do this week to make more breathing space in your life?
