Ⅱ. 阅读理解（共15小题，计30分）
A
As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed the golden arches (拱形门) of McDonald’s, they reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed (沮丧的) person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colors do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colors can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red Since yellow is the most eye-catching color, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the color which usually shows warning; as a result, some traffic signs use this color. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.
The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites (胃口). This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colors, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
“Morning, Amber! What happened You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.
“Nothing… just feeling… blue,” said Amber.
“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought A Wii! It’s red-hot.”
Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the Wii and said, “Sounds great!”

When you’re not at home, many worries may start to crowd your mind. Did I turn the coffee maker off Did I lock the door Are the kids doing their homework or watching television With a smart home, you can quiet all of these worries.
A smart home is a home with a communication network. This network connects devices (装置), such as lights and TV sets, and allows them to be controlled from far away through electrical wiring, mobile phone communication or WiFi over the Internet.
More and more people may start to consider owning a smart home, because it makes life much more convenient. It can help keep your room at a certain temperature. It can record what happens inside the home and send the video to your phone. When you are on vacation abroad, you can use a smart home controller to switch on or off the electricity when necessary. Some smart homes can receive a visitor, allowing him to come in and offering him a drink. They can even feed the cat and water the plants.
Besides, smart homes are easy to fix. Most smart home technology and devices are wireless and can be set up with a minimum of tools, using only the guiding information. When a problem appears, you can deal with it yourself without paying a professional.
However, for home-users, the smart home technology is far from perfect. It can be rather expensive to own the technology and the devices. Also, because the smart home system (系统) allows its owner to get home information from anywhere, it leaves the home easy to be attacked (攻击) by hackers, who may secretly use or change the information in the system.
Now, many scientists are excited at the future of smart home technology. Imagine being able to get fashion advice from your mirror, or receive food shopping suggestions from your refrigerator. While there are others who worry that those smart devices will make people lazier and lonelier. Whatever it is, one thing is for sure—smart home technology will change the way we live and work.

Where You Sit and How You Fit
21 For more than seventy years, researchers and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners. Where do you usually decide to sit Have you ever really thought about the reasons for your decision
22 But is this really true Well, some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because it is far away from the teacher and they don’t want to answer questions. At the back, students probably won’t speak much, but in big classrooms, it can be hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying. This could be the reason why students who sit here often get lower grades on tests and exams. For students with poor eyesight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is not a good choice.
23 However, they like watching and listening rather than joining in. These students are usually also very good at taking notes. Next time you miss a class, borrow notes from someone who sits here. On the sides of the classroom you will generally find modest and thoughtful people. These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in learning.
24 Then the statistics (统计数据) say you probably like your teacher. You probably also have a good relationship with your classmates. Caring, outgoing and cheerful people usually sit in the middle. They are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low grades on tests and exams.
25 Students who sit here usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. The only problem with sitting here is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class. So, if you really want to hear what everyone says in class, choose a different place to sit.
根据短文内容，从方框中选出五个句子填入文中空缺处，使短文内容完整正确。
A. You probably sit right at the front of the class if you’re longing for knowledge. B. Research suggests that the seat you choose in the classroom says a lot about you and your personality. C. Do you sit in the middle of the classroom D. This means it’s a good idea to sit in a different place every day. E. People often think that students who sit at the back are lazy. F. Students who sit at the side of the classroom are normally interested in class.

Ⅳ. 阅读表达（共5小题，计10分）
根据短文内容，回答下列问题。
The Seed Vault (种子地窖)
A lot of countries need different kinds of seeds so that they can plant them again. There is an important reason for this. Sometimes plants can’t grow in a country because of bad weather or disease, so farmers need new seeds.
You can keep seeds in a “seed vault”. It’s a place at a special temperature. The seeds don’t grow, but they can live for a long time. Norway has the biggest seed vault in the world—the Svalbard Global Seed Vault—and it has seeds from a lot of different countries.
The vault is on the island of Spitsbergen. The island is about one thousand kilometers from the North Pole. It’s a very cold place so it’s good for seeds. Above the ground, the doorway is small, but inside, the building is huge. You walk down a long corridor (走廊), which is one hundred and thirty meter inside a mountain. At the end of it, there are three large areas with seeds.
There are about half a million kinds of seeds inside the vault. For example, there are kinds of seeds for rice from Asia and Africa, 32 kinds of seeds for potatoes from Ireland and seeds for different tomatoes from the USA.
The seed vault has space for a lot more seeds. You can put about 2.2 billion (十亿) seeds inside. The seeds can live here for thousands of years because of the cold temperature of -18℃. So, in the future, humans can grow any seed they want. In other words, the seeds vault is the difference between life and death.

Dear Jack,
I’m very glad to hear from you. Time goes by. Three years has passed. It’s hard to believe that I have changed so much.
Do you remember I used to be short Now, I’m much taller than before. And I used to be a little heavy, but now I’m glad to have a medium build. Also, I’m more and more outgoing. These changes are normal. Of course, they’re not the only ones that happen to me.
The most important change in my life is that I’m becoming more and more interested in learning English. I used to dislike to learn English and I often got bad grades. But my English teacher, Ms. Ma praised me for my nice pronunciation from time to time. I was very happy to hear that. So I spent more time reading English. And I found I loved English increasingly as time went by. You know how happy I felt when I got better and better grades.
You told me that you had some problems learning English. Here, I have some suggestions for you. First, read English aloud every day, like me. Second, it’s a good way to listen to English songs. I think it can help you a lot. Third, it’s important to listen to the teacher carefully and take notes in time. Hope they can help you and you can become a good English learner.
People sure change. Believe we are changing for the better future!
Yours,
Paul
