1． 七选五（每题2分，共50分） A When i was in middle school ,I took a word processing class at my town’s public library. When my mother picked me up,she asked me how it was.___1__________ Ethel was an old lady,who shared her first name with my grandmother .she was taking the class to learn the skills she needed to communicate with her friends and family suing the computer.During the period,we enjoyed each other’s company ._____2_____And she ,I imagine,felt happy that a young person took an interest in what it was like for her to be learning something new. _____3______Now that I am older ,I get to grow in both directions,from starting a conversation with an older person I am sitting near on a bus,to ask my young neighbor about her after-school job. _____4_____Younger people in the relationship can learn from the view and experience of the older people who have often “been there,done that”.And they might also get a more positive idea about getting old by spending time with older people who are living their lives with energy and optimism. Inter-generational friendships are also helpful to older people in some way.Feelings of loneliness or sadness are common among older people.____5_______Older people might enjoy telling stories that fascinate younger people.They might also get the opportunity to learn and use new skills in technology and communication. A. I felt gown-up and valued by this old lady. B. These feelings will be very harmful to them. C. But making young friends can make a difference. D. The two of us had nothing to share with each other.E.I E. “I have made a friend and her name is Ethel,”I told her excitedly. F. There are many advantages of having inter-generational friendships. B If you wear glasses ,there is good news for you .____6_______A new study has found that needing to wear glasses is connected with higher levels of intelligence. In the study ,researchers from the University of Edinburgh studied data on brainpower and genes.Genes, made up of DNA,are information in the cells of our body.They determine how we look and how our bodies work.____7________They found a connection between brainpower and physical characteristics including eyesight and health. People who were more intelligent were more likely to have genes that might show they need to wear glasses.The researchers also found that being smarter has some advantages. They found ways in which smarter people have fewer health problems. _______8______They are not proved causes.It is easy to prove that two things are connected.It is harder to prove that one thing,like intelligence,causes the other,like needing glasses. Forget genes though.Wearing glasses makes people think you are more intelligent,even if you don’t need them. A number of studies have found that people who wear glasses are usually seen as smarter , more hard-working and honest.______9_______They get the people they work for on trial to wear glasses. Glasses are also used to show someone is intelligent in movies and on TV. _____10_______People who do not need glasses sometimes wear them.They wear them just to look smart or cool.Glasses are not only for needs. Wearing glasses can also be cool.Many movies stars are fans of fashion glasses. A. Many lawyers use this to help them. B. We must try our best to protect our eyes. C. However,these are all simply connections. D. You might be smarter than those who don’t. E. Ideas about wearing glasses have begun to change. F. Wearing glasses sometimes makes people look silly. G. The researchers studied the genes of over 300,000 people. C Leading young people to take up physical exercise is really important .______11________But a report recently shows that only half of girls who were questioned by researchers enjoy doing sports.____12________What are the reasons?Because of their dislike of the clothes they are asked to wear and the lack of facilities to do their hair afterwards.As more girls than boys fail to take part in physical activities,this is seen as a problem that needs dealing with. Many of the girls questioned said they disliked wearing the skirts that are often part of PE clothes and that the clothes should be more comfortable to wear.The girls wanted to have the chance to say what the PE clothes should look like.They suggested clothing should cover more of their bodies,such as leggings and high-necked shirts._____13__________ Another key problem the girls reported was not having the facilities available to do their hair after they had taken part in exercise .The girls being interviewed wanted private space where they could get changed.They felt schools should supply hairdryers so that they could style their hair.____14_________They could use this time to do their hair and make sure they looked the same as they did before the class. The researchers argue that since girls worry a great deal about how they look during their teenage years, it is important that schools take these problems seriously.____15__________Some teachers feel sports should keep youngers’ minds off how they look.It should help them see the value of keeping physically fit,enjoying team spirit and achieving their success and not worrying about what their hair looks like. A. Girls had the following problems with PE classes. B. Even a quarter of them actually avoid taking part. C. However，not everyone agrees with the suggestions. D.

Many families go on holiday in summer,when schools are closed .___17_________In the past,most British families would take their holidays at a British seaside town.However ,now many people choose to go abroad instead.One reason for this is to escape(躲藏)the possibility of rain at home! France,Spain and Greece are popular destinations(目的地). In the United States,summer holidays often involved a road trip.___18__________It is common to drive hundreds of miles to get to your destination.If the beach is too far away, you could go to one of the national parks. Many people love to enjoy the natural beauty of places such as Yellowstone or the Grand Canyon. ____19________In winter,many people go skiing.The Alps are a very popular place to ski. The mountain scenery is truly wonderful ! You can try downhill skiing,cross -country skiing or snowshoeing. No matter what kind of holiday you take,there are two things that nearly everyone does. The first is to send postcards to friends and family at home,so they can see a photo of the place where you are . The second is to buy some sort of souvenir(纪念品) to that you can remember your trip ---maybe a T-shirt or an art piece.___20__________ A. Beach holidays are very popular in Britain. B.

You can even creat your own mix with websites like Noisli. .Electronic Music Electronic music is a great choice for those who don’t like classical.Any music with little to no lyrics is best. .Sound Control The volume of your study music is important .Don’t drown out your own thoughts.Remember ,it is supposed to be in the background. ___25_________Please write to us and let us know what music helps you get through school!

A study coming out in the Proceedings of the National Academy of science found that in most poor countries, higher temperatures are more than 90% likely to have resulted in a fall in economic output(全球的),compared to a world without global warming.The influence has been less big in richer countries ---with some even benefiting （获益）from higher temperatures. “We are not saying that global warming created inequality ”,says Noah S.Diffenbaugh,the writer of the study and a professor at Stanford University who studies climate change.But “global warming has slowed down the improvement”. The poorest countries are facing the worst influence of rising temperatures---for which they are least responsible,he adds. The new study builds on past research.A 2015 study in the journal Nature predicted that the average income in the poorest countries will be 25% lower by 2100 compared to a world without warming, while some of the richest countries ---like the USA ---could experience an increase in income.And a report from IPCC,the UN’s climate science body, showed that if global temperatures rise more than 1.5℃ by the end of the century,poor countries will likely face very serious challenges, including the disappearance of whole communities and millions of early deaths.“They will suffer the most,as they are already,”said Mary Robinson,who used to be a UN Special Envoy on Climate Change and a president of Ireland. The influence is greater elsewhere,especially in Sub-Saharan, African countries including Sudan,Burkina Faso and Niger, where climate change has driven the average income more than 20% lower. “There are a number of ways by which temperature influences economic activities,”says Diffenbaugh What’s clear is that,for poor countries ,the news is all bad. 26.According to the text,warmer temperatures____________.
