As the Chinese word for nine has. the same sound as the word for long, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes of long life for elderly people. There are many traditions for this festival. On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure (治疗) diseases. Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used. On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people. It is a traditional virtue (美德) in China to respect elderly people. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. Besides, to respect the elderly people is to respect yourself tomorrow. 6. Who is the Double Ninth Festival celebrated for? A. Fathers. B. Mothers. C. Children. D. Elderly people. 7.

It means they have knowledge and experience. C. It means they don’t have to work for others. D. It means what they did in the past was meaningful. C What will the world of tomorrow look like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on the earth today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones.___________ Each has advantages and disadvantages, as these three examples. When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying car. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, there will be problems with traffic control. 3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life—size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive. Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit. This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is cost. Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We’ll be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s lives easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today. 11. Which might be the missing sentence in Paragraph 1? ________ A. No technology is perfect. B. Technology causes lots of problems. C. We can’t live well without technology. D. New problems will be solved by technology. 12. What problems may people meet if the flying cars become popular according to Paragraph 2?________ A. More air pollution. B. Harder traffic control. C. More traffic lights. D. Busier roads. 13. What can a robot suit help people do? ________ ①Produce electricity. ②Lift heavy things. ③Walk a long way. ④Walk again after an illness. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④ 14. What is the structure (结构) of the text? P:paragraph. ________ A. B. C. D. 15. What does the writer think of new technology? ________ A. He doubts it. B. He doesn’t mind it. C. He can’t stand it. D. He looks forward to it. D School trips offer a great opportunity to learn outside the classroom in interesting ways.
