In France，there once lived a man named Louis Pasteur,who was a doctor of science.The thing （17） occupied his mind was the disease rabies。
"I must find the rabies germs that hide inside people and make them so sick (18） they die，"he thought。 "Once I find that invisible enemy，I’ll think of a way to kill it。I just know I （19） do it。”
Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time.Some laughed at him and said,”You’ll never do it.No one can find (20) invisible enemy!”
Pasteur didn’t care (21) people thought，he believed in （22） 。He kept right on working.
Meanwhile，in German，a boy named Joey was about to get into trouble。He wasn't a bad boy,he was just thoughtless,as children sometimes are.He was playing with a dog。But this dog was sick with rabies，（23) made the dog mad。
When Joey got tired of playing with the dog，he started to go home。Unfortunately，the dog escaped from behind the fence and bit Joey。
The invisible enemy—the rabies germs—were passed on from the dog to Joey。
Soon the little boy was very sick。Everyone knew that if someone was bitten by a sick，mad dog,that person would become infected with rabies and die.His parents could only wait。
But then there was news。Joey’s mother saw it and shouted for joy。”A doctor of science (24) (find) a way to save people like Joey!”she said。”He says sick people like Joey have been infected by an invisible enemy,and he's found a way to kill it！”
The man，of course，was Louis Pasteur.He had done what he had set out to do。
Joey’s parents quickly prepared Joey (25） the long journey to Paris。
”Dr。Pasteur,”said the mother upon their arrival at Pasteur's residence，”we've come a long way。Our little boy (26） （bite） by a mad dog,and he’s very sick.Can you help us?"
"Perhaps,”said Pasteur."I’ve invented a vaccine（疫苗）.It is strong enough to kill the invisible enemy.
Joey was finally saved and later became a gatekeeper at the Pasteur Institute。

You’ve probably heard of the list of factors that put you at risk for heart disease: smoking，poor diet，lack of_27_ and so on。But did you know that the health of your gums（牙龈)may also affect your chance of_28_heart disease？
More than 120 studies have investigated the_29_link between gum disease and heart disease。Most of them say that gum disease is a risk factor for heart disease and other diseases that affect blood vessels。This means that people with gum disease often develop heart disease but that gum disease doesn’t_30_cause heart disease。
Doctors and scientists have proposed a number of possible reasons for this connection。One common factor is inflammation(发炎）,which occurs when the body senses a_31_and sends white blood cells to attack it.This leads to painful swelling（肿胀）,which is the main symptom of gum disease.White inflammation hasn’t been shown to cause heart disease，it often accompanies it.And as it turns out，the same types of bacteria often lead to inflammation in both diseases。
It’s also possible that the_32_has less to do with biology than with an individual’s habits。Perhaps people who take good care of their teeth make other healthy choices that prevent heart disease。
So what does this mean for your health？Since the role of gum disease in causing heart disease isn’t_33_,don’t take it for granted that taking care of your teeth will protect your heart。Certainly,brushing and cleaning are not replacement for exercise and a_34_diet。But keeping your mouth healthy and avoiding gum disease are still good goals to go after。They’ll spare you pain and high dental bills and keep your bright smile complete。
This research does mean that if you have gum disease,you should get your heart_35_this is especially true if you are at risk of heart disease for other reason，such as smoking。
Who would have thought that your mouth and your heart would be connected？The body is a complex and mysterious thing，so do all you can to_36_it。

Directions: Read the following four passages。Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A，B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
When Merriam Cooper was a boy，he loved reading novels like Lost in the Jungle and Wild Life Under the Equator,both of which were written by Paul Du Chailu。Set in Africa，they told exciting tales of imaginary native tribes battling hippopotamuses（河马）and man—eating tigers。Years later，Cooper joined the U.S。Military and flew bombing tasks during the First World War。After the war ended，he met Ernest B.Schoedsack，an expert with movie cameras,they decided to begin making movies that could capture the danger and delight of exploring strange lands， living with native tribes and dealing with unfriendly creatures。
After making three movies,Grass，Chang and The Four Feathers,the partners came up with the idea of making one about a giant gorilla.Originally，they wanted to use a real gorilla in the movie。That turned out to be too expensive, however,so they instead used a model of a gorilla and a new technique called stop—motion photography to bring the creature to life。The resulting movie was King Kong。
In 1976，Kong's unfortunate story was retold with a man in a suit with makeup and a robot。When director Peter Jackson got his hands on Kong in 2005，Kong was portrayed（演出)by an actor and special effects。
While the ”major” King Kong movies tell a similar story,Kong has been portrayed in many different ways over the years。In one of the sillier movies，King Kong Escapes （1967）,he fights a mechanical copy of himself。King Kong lives （1986) takes a strangers turn with Kong surviving his famous falling down and falling for Lady Kong。
52。How does the writer begin this article?
A.By noting Cooper’s enjoyment of reading。 B.By describing Cooper’s quiet family life。
C.By explaining Cooper's early education。 D。By discussing Cooper's fear of animals.
53。According to this article，what did Cooper do with his plane during the First World War？
A。He dropped explosive. B.He transported prisoners。
C。He protected airports。 D。He delivered supplies.
54.What role did Cooper's and Shoedsack’s overseas adventures play in their lives？
A.They aided the man's political careers. B。They wasted most of the men’s funds。
C.They forced the man to change profession。 D。They inspired the men to produce films。
55。What do we learn about the person who played Kong in 1976？
A。Whose life he saved. B.How he was dressed。
C.Who offered him a contract。 D。Why he gave up a project。
B
You know the sound—that high—pitched noise in your ear that tells you a mosquito（蚊子）is looking for meal. Rather than donating blood to her cause,you wave the insect away.But that rarely works.Your body usually ends up with one or more itchy(痒的）red welts somewhere.Are there better ways to drive the annoying insects away？Yes， indeed!
Preventing mosquito bites can also stop infections with dangerous illness。Mosquito—borne disease such as the Zika virus or malaria have terrible results。Several million people worldwide die from disease carried by mosquitoes each year，adding urgency to the battle.
Studies have shown that certain groups of people are easy to be bitten by mosquitoes。These include those who are pregnant,have a higher-than-normal boy temperature or have type O blood。These groups should be aware they are more attractive to mosquitoes and stay inside whenever possible,especially at dawn and dusk。Many breeds of mosquitoes are more likely to bite at these times。People should also wear light，bright colors as dark colors attract the insects。
Rubbing mosquito repellents(驱蚊剂）on exposed skin keeps the insects away for a time。Studies show that those containing DEET are most effective。Depending on the brand of repellent，the chemical keeps mosquitoes away for 5 to 13 hours。Some plant oils can be used instead of DEET，but they require more frequent application-every two hours-and in greater concentrations。Oils such as lemon eucalyptus or citronella are two possibilities.
Another chemical，permethrin，can be applied to clothing to ward off mosquitoes。The chemical sticks to the fabric and will last through a few washings。Clothing that has been factory—treated with the chemical is also available。 The manufactures say that it will remain the permethrin for about 70 washings.
Mosquito coil（圈,卷）also keep mosquitoes away.However，the smoke from them pollutes and can damage the lungs，so they should be used with care.
When you're inside,simply plugging in some fans will keep mosquitoes away as they are weak fliers。
Everyone wants to avoid mosquito bites,so try several methods to see what works for you.
56。which of the following is true according to the passage？
A。Mosquitoes usually don’t like dark colors.
B.Mosquitoes don't like people with type O blood.
C.It’s not easy to remove some chemical treated off clothing。
D。It’s not easy to use mosquito coils to drive mosquitoes off.
57.What does the phrase ward off in Para 5 most probably mean?
A。prevent from B。take in C。break away D。turn out
58。What is the best title of the passage?
A.How to get rid of mosquitoes。 B。Keep mosquitoes away.
C。Be aware of mosquitoes。 D。Pay attention to mosquitoes。
59。What does this article imply about mosquitoes？
A.Electric fans can be used to blow mosquitoes away。
B.People had better use the methods together to avoid mosquitoes.
C。Mosquitoes would like to bite people at dawn or dusk.
D。Different people should choose different ways to avoid mosquitoes。

Let’s learn about English
If you’re reading this，you’ve probably already spent many hours studying English。But here are facts you may not know about the language：
English is one of the most common languages in the world。Some experts estimate that English has about 339 million native speakers。_60_.This does not include the United States,which has no official language。English is also the official language of the sky。That means all pilots use it on international flights。
_61_This is because a French—speaking ruler conquered England in the 11th century。English also includes words from many other languages。This is because people in British colonies spoke many languages.Words from many of those languages were added to English。Other words are added even today。As a result，English has one of the largest vocabularies of any language.
You've probably noticed that English spelling can be hard to predict。For example，the long ”e"sound can be spelled eight different ways。And the letters-”ough"—can be pronounced nine ways！_62_Spelling of English words often reflected their origins。
The most common letter used in English is ”e”。But more words begin with ”s” than any other in the alphabet.
Most English words thyme with at least one other w
