1、 There is a tradition at my school that when Changsha High School Entrance Examination is less than a month away, students in the lower grades, from Grade 7 to Grade 8, all gather together on the ground in front of the teaching building and cheer on the Grade 9 students who are standing upstairs.1. It wasn’t until I took part in the activity in person that I understood the true meaning of it.
2. 那时我上7年级。On that special night, all the Grade 9 students stood in the hallways and looked down at the younger students below. Various cheers started to resound throughout the school, wave after wave. “Believe in yourself! You will succeed!”
Seeing everyone’s smiling face around us,3.我们想起了一句著名的格言。It’s from the American philosopher (哲学家) Henry David Thoreau, 4.“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”
Soon it will be my turn to receive blessing in this way.5. That also means we will have to say goodbye to our school. Although it will be sad, being cheered on by so many students will still be one of the brightest time of my life.

24、Facial recognition technology(人脸识别技术) is widely used today. For example, police use it to search for bad guys(家伙). It’s also used to unlock phones or doors.
Now, a similar technology, known as facial detection(探测), is entering a new field: the business of advertising.
Such systems are going through tests in a small number of stores. One facial detection system can tell a person’s “happiness” or “fear” level. That helps businesses see how people feel as they look at products or advertisements in the store. Another system can detect whether someone is wearing eyeglasses. If so, stores can send advertisements for new glasses to him.
Facial detection technology is also placed inside some large advertising boards. Cameras in those boards can detect information like people’s ages and five levels of feelings-from “very happy” to “very unhappy”.
Supporters of the technology say it could improve buyers’ experience by showing products they might like or by offering them products at lower prices.
Some are against the idea of using such systems. Pam Dixon, the head of a privacy(隐私) group, is one of them. She thinks the strange actions may cause something unfair. For example, a business could raise the price of a product according to a person’s age and feelings.
However, one store testing the technology explained they wouldn’t store people’s information like names or ages. And the advertising board system maker said it didn’t keep any personal information or record any videos.
【1】Facial detection technology can tell people’s ______ according to the passage.
A.weight
B.feelings
C.height
D.jobs
【2】What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Businesses.

A.can detect buyers’ names and record them
B.can’t srore personal information
C.may he used to sell cheaper goods in all stores
D.may need some time before being widely used.
【4】The structure of the text is ______.
A.
B.
C.
D.
【5】The text is mainly about ______.
A.facial recognition technology entering a new field
B.facial recognition technology looking for bad guys
C.facial detection technology going into advertising field

Do you run away when you hear a bee buzzing? Many people do. A bee sting hurts and some people are allergic 过敏症的to bee venom. But did you know that bees are very important to humans? Honeybees do more than just make honey. They fly around and pollinate flowers, plants, and trees. Our fruits, nuts, and vegetables rely on these pollinators. One third of America’s food supply is pollinated by the honeybee. Honeybees pollinate plants that give us fruit and vegetables.
Have you seen or heard a honeybee lately? Bees are mysteriously (神秘地) disappearing in many parts of the world. Most people don't know about this problem. It is called "colony collapse disorder" (CCD). Some North American beekeepers lost 80% of their hives from 2006-2008. Bees in Italy and Australia are disappearing too.
The disappearance of the honeybee is a serious problem. Can you imagine never eating another blueberry? What about almonds and cherries? Without honeybees food prices will skyrocket. The poorest people always suffer the worst when there is a lack of food.
This problem affects other foods besides fresh produce. Imagine losing your favorite ice cream! Haagen Daaz is a famous ice cream company. Many of their flavors rely on the hard working honeybee. In 2008, Haagen Daaz began raising money for CCD. They also funded a garden at the University of California called The Haven. This garden helps raise awareness about the disappearing honeybee and teaches visitors how to plant for pollinators.
Donating money to research is the most important thing humans can do to save the honeybee. Scientists need money to investigate the causes of Colony Collapse Disorder. Some scientists blame CCD on climate change. Others think pesticides are killing the bees. Commercial (盈利性的) bee migration may also cause CCD. Beekeepers transport their hives from place to place in order to pollinate plants year round.
Not everyone has money to donate regularly. There are other ways to help the honeybee. Spread the word by telling your friends and family about the problem. Tell your teacher about the disappearing bees too. Maybe your class can write a letter to the government.
【1】Honeybees are very important because they produce honey and______.
A.sting people
B.treat allergies
C.pollinate flowers
D.buzz everywhere
【2】Why does the writer mention the Haagen Daaz company?
A.To describe what beekeepers will lost without honeybee.
B.To tell readers why Haagen Daaz is a famous company.
C.To show how scientists will investigate honeybee.
D.To explain how serious the CCD problem is.
【3】The word “funded” in Paragraph 4 probably means “ _______”.
A.donated money for
B.saved money for
C.provided money for
D.collected money for
【4】What is the best title for the passage?
A.The Disappearing Honeybee
B.The Important Honeybee
C.The Problems of Honeybee
D.The Investigation of Honeybee

Xi Jiang Yue by Xin Qiji
A bright moon shining on faraway bough (树枝)
Frightened the magpie (喜鹊),
A soft wind in the deep of the night
Made the cicadas (蝉) sing.
Among the pleasant smell of ripening (成熟的) rice
There was talk of a harvest year,
I heard frogs, here, there, everywhere.
Seven, eight stars shining in faraway sky,
A few drops of rain on this side of the hill.
Passing the stream bridge and turning
The old thatch (茅草的) store, suddenly came into my view,
By the side of the communal (公社的) woods.
