In fact, we are maybe 16 or 17 years old. In their eyes, we are always little ones and always do wrong things. For example, when I need to stay at home alone, they always worry about me and my life without them. Most parents always think that they have offered the best things to make their children live in a comfortable world. They buy their children pretty clothes, cool shoes, strange but expensive school things, and always a thousand-yuan-cost bike. They think that they have done everything they can do for their dear little children. In return, they only want their little ones to give them good results in the exams. Although parents have done what they could, their little babies still can’t understand them. Why? Do they still want more material（物质的）things? No! They just want a true family. What does a true family mean? I think in a true family, we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here, we can get warmth, and we can get happiness. So I think that parents should save their money and sit down to talk with their children. And the child and his parents could understand each other better. Then, no boy will be a little boy any longer. That will be great help to both the parents and their child. 56．We can see the writer of this article is ______ through the first paragraph.

However, research results have painted a rather different picture. The post-1990s generation is independent, strong-minded and hardworking, according to a Peking University report. When it comes to learning and working, over 60% think their own interests are more important than others’ opinions. Most of them see successful businessmen as their idols（偶像）.

But then people learned to find more ways to get food. About 10,000 years ago, people started to farm the land. After that, people developed farming skills. People eat different food in different areas. In China, rice is the main food for people in the south while the people in the north eat noodles. People who live in European countries near the sea eat lots of fish. But in Central Europe, people are away from the sea. So they don’t eat so much fish. They eat more meat instead. People eat food with different tools in different areas. In China, people always like using chopsticks while in North America, Australia and Europe, people always like using knives and forks. To our surprise, in India and the Middle East, people always pick up food with their own fingers. Now people can eat different food from different areas. As we can see, it is possible to convey food easily from one part of the world to another. We can almost eat whatever we like at any place of the world. For example, people in Britain can eat bananas from Africa and rice from India. Food is becoming a very big business now. 36．People ________ at the beginning of human history.

It is often seen as the second largest country in Europe, after Russia. However, Russia is a country spreading over, the European and Asian continents (大陆). So if you consider the land area of the country that is only located on the European continent, Ukraine is the largest one in Europe!

Most people are native Ukrainians, with Russians making up the next largest group. The official language is Ukrainian. Russian is also widely spoken, especially in the east and south. Most people in Ukraine live in the eastern and southeastern parts of the country. The largest city of the country is the capital city, Kyiv (基辅).

This decision has greatly changed the way I communicate with others, the way I spend my free time and what I research, although I did not know it at the time. It wasn’t long after I got my first smartphone that I began to notice that I couldn’t pay attention to my work all the time. I also noticed that smartphones didn’t just influence people at work. They competed for our attention when we spent time even with the closest people in our lives. A year after buying my smartphone, I decided that I was going to research whether smartphones influence happiness. Since then, my partners and I have done a lot of experiments. We’ve found that friends with their phones on the table while eating enjoyed the experience less than those sharing a meal with their phones put away. In another study, parents asked to be on their phones while enjoying a science museum with their children found the experience less meaningful than parents asked to limit (限制) their phone use. Based on these results, you might think I believe that smartphones are ruining our lives. I’ve even had friends tell me that they are more self-conscious (自觉的). When they use their phones around me. The truth is that I neither hate my phone nor judge the way others use their phones. However, I have to say that the research has influenced the way I use my phone. I usually put it on silent, so that I have more control over my attention. In fact, I would argue that my smartphone has improved my happiness. With it in my pocket wherever I go, I can save time when ordering my morning coffee, finding the best restaurant or doing my banking. What’s more, without my smartphone, I would not have met my husband. 36．What decision did the author make ten years ago? A．To buy a smartphone. B．To study if phones influence happiness.

That’s because there are lots of sculptures (雕像) of men, women and children about 8 metres underwater. In fact, there are more than 500 life-size sculptures. They are collections of M.U.S.A．(Museo Subacuático de Arte), an underwater museum and one of the largest art projects in the world. British artist Taylor created the museum. The sea near Cancun is one of the most visited bodies of water in the world. It welcomes over 750,000 visitors a year, which places huge pressure (压力) on the natural environment there. Taylor hopes to call for people to pay more attention to the environment, and he decided to do it through art. “It is named a museum for a simple reason. Every day we pollute (污染) and overfish our seas (保护) and education. They are places where we keep things that have great value to us,” Taylor said. Among the sculptures, about 90 were of people from the neighbouring fishing village of Puerto Morelos. It looks like they are protecting their sea. The sculptures cover an area of over 420 square metres. There used to be nothing on the seabed. However, today, the museum becomes a coral reef structure (珊瑚礁结构体) for sea lives to live in. So if you visit Cancun next time, why not swim out to this special museum?

But this great change began with two ordinary (普通的) people. Orville and Wilbur Wright were two brothers. They had a bicycle shop in Ohio, the USA．They were good at making bicycles, but planes were their real interest. At that time, people knew how to build and fly gliders (滑翔机), but nobody could build a plane with an engine (发动机) and fly it. The plane builders had two main problems: they could not make the wings strong enough, and the planes always crashed (坠毁) when they tried to take off. The Wright brothers read about these problems in a newspaper, and they decided to look for answers. They made small model planes in the bicycle shop and they built a wind tunnel to test the models. They also built real gliders. Finally, they built a plane with an engine, which they called The Flyer. On December 17th 1903, Orville and Wilbur pulled The Flyer onto a flat sandy beach. The plane weighed 275 kilograms and had a petrol engine. The day was very cold, and there was a wind of about 30 kilometres per hour. The brothers tossed (投掷) a coin to see who should fly first.

Although parents have done what they could, their little babies still can’t understand them. Why? Do they still want more material（物质的）things? No! They just want a true family. What does a true family mean? I think in a true family, we can hide ourselves from the outside cold world. From here, we can get warmth, and we can get happiness.

It is often seen as the second largest country in Europe, after Russia. However, Russia is a country spreading over, the European and Asian continents (大陆). So if you consider the land area of the country that is only located on the European continent, Ukraine is the largest one in Europe! Most of Ukraine is flat, with mountains found only in the west or in the south of the Crimean Peninsula (克里米亚半岛). The country is rich in natural resources and has good soil. The latter is considered perfect for growing crops, such as wheat. So Ukraine is called the“breadbasket of Europe”. Although Ukraine is one of Europe’s largest countries in size, its population of about 44million is smaller than that of some other European countries such as Germany and France. Most people are native Ukrainians, with Russians making up the next largest group. The official language is Ukrainian. Russian is also widely spoken, especially in the east and south. Most people in Ukraine live in the eastern and southeastern parts of the country. The largest city of the country is the capital city, Kyiv (基辅). Located by the Dnieper River, it has about 3 million people. In addition, the city is home to the deepest metro station (地铁站) in the world, Arsenalna Metro Station. It lies nearly 105.5 meters below the city. There are still lots of interesting facts about the country.

This decision has greatly changed the way I communicate with others, the way I spend my free time and what I research, although I did not know it at the time. It wasn’t long after I got my first smartphone that I began to notice that I couldn’t pay attention to my work all the time. I also noticed that smartphones didn’t just influence people at work. They competed for our attention when we spent time even with the closest people in our lives. A year after buying my smartphone, I decided that I was going to research whether smartphones influence happiness. Since then, my partners and I have done a lot of experiments. We’ve found that friends with their phones on the table while eating enjoyed the experience less than those sharing a meal with their phones put away. In another study, parents asked to be on their phones while enjoying a science museum with their children found the experience less meaningful than parents asked to limit (限制) their phone use. Based on these results, you might think I believe that smartphones are ruining our lives. I’ve even had friends tell me that they are more self-conscious (自觉的). When they use their phones around me. The truth is that I neither hate my phone nor judge the way others use their phones. However, I have to say that the research has influenced the way I use my phone. I usually put it on silent, so that I have more control over my attention. In fact, I would argue that my smartphone has improved my happiness. With it in my pocket wherever I go, I can save time when ordering my morning coffee, finding the best restaurant or doing my banking. What’s more, without my smartphone, I would not have met my husband. 36．What decision did the author make ten years ago? A．To buy a smartphone. B．To study if phones influence happiness. C．To pay less attention to work. D．To spend more time with loved ones. 37．About the research, the passage covers the following except ________.

D．Making...busier. 39．Which of the following does the author agree with? ①The phone saves her a lot of time. ②The phone keeps her family life busy. ③The phone has helped her find a life partner. ④The phone makes her more focused on work. A．①④ B．②③ C．①③ D．②④ 40．What does the author mainly want to tell us? A．Great minds think alike. B．Every coin has two sides. C．Well begun is half done.

That’s because there are lots of sculptures (雕像) of men, women and children about 8 metres underwater. In fact, there are more than 500 life-size sculptures. They are collections of M.U.S.A．(Museo Subacuático de Arte), an underwater museum and one of the largest art projects in the world. British artist Taylor created the museum. The sea near Cancun is one of the most visited bodies of water in the world. It welcomes over 750,000 visitors a year, which places huge pressure (压力) on the natural environment there. Taylor hopes to call for people to pay more attention to the environment, and he decided to do it through art. “It is named a museum for a simple reason. Every day we pollute (污染) and overfish our seas (保护) and education. They are places where we keep things that have great value to us,” Taylor said. Among the sculptures, about 90 were of people from the neighbouring fishing village of Puerto Morelos. It looks like they are protecting their sea. The sculptures cover an area of over 420 square metres. There used to be nothing on the seabed. However, today, the museum becomes a coral reef structure (珊瑚礁结构体) for sea lives to live in. So if you visit Cancun next time, why not swim out to this special museum?

But this great change began with two ordinary (普通的) people. Orville and Wilbur Wright were two brothers. They had a bicycle shop in Ohio, the USA．They were good at making bicycles, but planes were their real interest. At that time, people knew how to build and fly gliders (滑翔机), but nobody could build a plane with an engine (发动机) and fly it. The plane builders had two main problems: they could not make the wings strong enough, and the planes always crashed (坠毁) when they tried to take off. The Wright brothers read about these problems in a newspaper, and they decided to look for answers. They made small model planes in the bicycle shop and they built a wind tunnel to test the models. They also built real gliders. Finally, they built a plane with an engine, which they called The Flyer. On December 17th 1903, Orville and Wilbur pulled The Flyer onto a flat sandy beach. The plane weighed 275 kilograms and had a petrol engine. The day was very cold, and there was a wind of about 30 kilometres per hour. The brothers tossed (投掷) a coin to see who should fly first. Orville won. He climbed onto the plane and started the engine. The Flyer began to move into the wind. Wilbur ran along beside the plane. And then the plane took off! It flew for only 12 seconds, but someone took a photograph, and the plane flew into the history books. 36．The first plane with an engine began to fly in ________. A．1803 B．1903 C．1963 D．1993 37．What was one of the glider builders’ main problems before 1903? A．None of them was good at making and selling bicycles. B．Their planes could take off and fly for only 30 minutes. C．They could not afford to buy an engine for their planes. D．They could not make enough strong wings for their planes. 38．Why did the Wright brothers make models? A．They made models to test their ideas. B．They hoped to sell them for money. C．They had nothing to do and did that for fun. D．They weren’t interested in making real planes. 39．How was the weather on the day of The Flyer’s flight? A．Rainy. B．Warm. C．Windy. D．Hot. 40．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A．The Wright brother’s owned a model plane shop in the USA before1903. B．When The Flyer began its first flight in 1903, it weighed 275 kilograms. C．Orville and Wilbur both wanted to fly the plane first and Wilbur won at last. D．The plane The Flyer succeeded in taking off and flew for only 12 minutes. 【答案】36．B 37．D 38．A 39．C 40．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了怀特兄弟发明有发动机的飞机的过程。 36．细节理解题。根据“On December 17th 1903, Orville and Wilbur pulled The Flyer onto a flat sandy beach.…And then the plane took off!
