I’m Rose, eighty-seven years old.” We all laughed when hearing this. “Of course you laugh!” She stopped for a while and continued, “Why are you in college? That’s because you are at such a young age. But I’m here just because I am not young.” Over the course of the year, Rose became a model in the college. Everyone knew her and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to learn about anything that the young like. At the end of the school year, we invited Rose to speak at our dinner party. I’ll never forget what she taught us. “We do not stop learning because we are young; we grow old because we stop learning. So please be happy and stay young. You can find humour every day. There are so many people walking around who are dead because they don’t even know it! There is a great difference between growing older and growing up.” At the end of the year Rose finished the college subjects. （　C　）46.

The old can do nothing. A B As we all know, spending a long time sitting at a desk is bad for our health. However, few people think about what the results of it will be. If in 20 years, office workers do look like this life-size（与真人一样大小的） model, the future doesn’t seem so bright. She is called Emma by her creators（创造者）. Emma’s appearance isn’t really appealing（吸引人的）. Her eyes look dry and red from staring at the computer screen for hours. She has all the terrible symptoms（症状）. Luckily, Emma is only a life-size model from a team of researchers. But if we don’t do anything, such as moving more, having the right posture or taking regular（有规律的） breaks, there’s no doubt（疑问） that our world will be full of Emmas. “Unless we make changes, these bad habits are going to make us very sick,” said William Higham, the lead writer of the study. “So don’t let Emma go to waste. Take her as a warning. Improve your posture at the desk and have short breaks during the day. Otherwise, the world could be full of Emmas in 2040. That would be terrible!” （　A　）51. The underlined word “appearance” means “ 　　　　⁠”.  A. look B. mistake C. advice D. feeling （　D　）52. Which of the following is NOT true about Emma? A. She looks terrible. B.

We can read the passage in  　　　　⁠.  A. a storybook B. a health magazine C. an advertisement（广告） D. a travel magazine B C For Miller, it’s a chance of a lifetime. Miller is a part of a group of around 50 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road. About this journey, he says,“I have been deeply interested in the Silk Road since I was a child. But now I finally have a chance to experience it.” The two-month bus journey will take the group through Germany, Russia and other 4 European countries. They will then enter China from the country’s western part. It will be an unforgettable memory for them. Nearly half of the 13,000-kilometre trip will be inside China. From Xinjiang in the west to Shanghai in the east, the German visitors will see more than 20 Chinese cities. “We have managed the trip of the Silk Road for around 10 years. An increasing number of people, not only from German-speaking countries, have been joining us,” says Liu Guoqiang from China Tours. About 133 million foreigners travelled to China in 2015, and about 3 million of them were from Europe. Beijing, Xi’an, Shanghai and the Yangtze River are traditional Chinese travel destinations for European tourists. Speaking of where he wants to go, Miller says, “Compared with modern cities, the culture in western China attracts me more.” As Shi Xiang, head of China Tours says, “Being a new brand to attract foreign visitors, the Silk Road is good for people to know more about China, especially the northwestern part of the country.” （　B　）56.

For many children, video games are fun and educational（有教育意义的）. They have beautiful pictures and exciting stories. Video games also make children think in a creative（有创造力的） way. And children have to move their hands and eyes quickly. They can make children think fast. Video games are also a good way to teach children about computers. They can learn about how computers work. However, a study shows that video games can be bad for children. Some video games are scary（吓人的）. And spending too much time playing games on the computer is bad for children’s health. Also if children spend too much time on the computer, they will have no time to do homework and may get bad grades. Video games do no good to children’s social skills either. Playing and working with friends is very important to children. It teaches them how to get on with other people. If children spend too much time playing by themselves, they can’t learn how to get along with their friends. All in all, video games can be both good and bad. Children can play video games, but they should learn to balance it with other things in life. 71. Video games are interesting because they have beautiful pictures and  　exciting stories　⁠.  72.
