Should students watch TV from Monday to Friday? I am here to say yes. TV is not always bad for our study. Here are my reasons.
①_____________
Our life is busier than our parents’ when they were young. We have more homework and a lot of after-school classes. So when we get home in the late afternoon, we usually get weary. Parents should know that at that time all we really want to do is to relax—watching TV for some minutes before going to bed is one of the best ways to relax ourselves.
②_____________
In the past, parents had few choices (选择). Most of the programs were not that interesting. Today we usually have more than a hundred programs to watch. In one hour, we can learn about the Great Wall and know more information about other countries. TV can be educational. It shows us many interesting things.
③_____________
Parents can use TV watching as a prize for their children after their children finish their homework well. TV does not keep us from our homework. It encourages (鼓励) us to learn better.
So, parents should let students watch TV from Monday to Friday. Do you think so?
( )35.Why does the writer ask and answer a question first in Paragraph1?
A.To give us the meaning of watching TV. B.To tell us how to watch TV programs.

If parents want their children to have healthy eating habits, they should ask their children to learn to cook. When children learn to cook, they can know more about healthy food and cooking skills. A school in Liverpool found that more children ate fruit and vegetables after taking cooking classes. The school also found that joining the cooking clubs could improve (改进) children’s lifestyles and desire for food.
So let children learn to cook and have some cooking classes at school. In the United Kingdom, many schools have cooking classes for students aged 12 to 16.

A few days ago, the program did a survey (调查) among 2,500 members. It showed that 92% of them used their new skills at home and more than half said they ate more healthily after they learned to cook.

Today, a number of people all over the world have the same interests. For instance, people watch the same movies and wear the same clothes. They look similar to each other in many ways. However, the cultures are still quite different. In the East and in the West, social (社会的) rules are not the same.
In the East, it can take a long time to become someone’s friend. After that, people are very close to their friends. When people from the West meet you, they will call you a friend right away. However, that doesn’t mean they are close to you.
When people from the East meet you, they often ask questions. They want to know about your age, your salary (薪水), and if you have a family. To people from the West, these are not good questions. They don’t like to talk about these personal things.
Family is important to everyone. However, in the East, family is always a part of life. Kids there live with their parents for a long time. They will listen to their parents after they grow up.
In the West, independence (独立) is very important. Parents get something ready for their kids for life. Then, after their kids grow up, they say goodbye and leave home. Later, the kids can choose to start a family or not. They don’t have to listen to their parents.
In the East and in the West, people think differently, too. People in the West think about small things. They also think less and act more. So, they will talk loudly about their ideas. In the East, people care about relationships (关系) between things or persons, and they often keep their ideas quiet. That keeps relationships happy.
( )30.What does the underlined phrase “For instance” mean?
A.For example. B.In fact. C.At first. D.Of course.
( )31.What will they probably (很可能) talk about if two persons from the West meet?

On August 14, 2022, Russia showed plans for a hotel in space about 217 miles up, which would hold 7 guests in 4 cabins (客舱) and have huge windows for views (视域) of the Earth turning below. A 5-day stay will cost £100,000, besides £500,000 for the journey.

Mary comes from a small village. It’s not far from Cambridge. Like many other villages, it is clean and quiet. Not many families live there, so the people there all know each other, and most of them are friendly and helpful.
Mary lives in the village, but she has a job in Cambridge. Every day, she goes to work by train, and it usually takes her about an hour. “It’s much cheaper to live in the village,” says Mary.
“But it also has some bad sides (方面). There are no cinemas or big shopping centers in the village. I have to go to Cambridge to see a movie or go shopping. So I usually watch TV or do exercise in the evening.

On Thursday morning, I needed to catch the plane to La Guardia for a trip at 10:30 am. I got to the airport early, checked in (登记), and got on the plane. Half an hour later, the plane didn’t take off. Another hour later, we were told that there was something wrong (有毛病的) with the plane and that we would all have to get on another plane.
So I had to change my flight. It was at 2:30 pm. I spent an hour and a half standing in line to check in again. However, when it was my turn, they told me that there was no seat left. They asked me to go to the gate and just wait for my name to be called.
It was almost 2:20 pm when a man said, “Mr. Hartman. Final (最后的) call for Mr. Hartman.” I ran over to him and said, “I’ve been waiting here for over twenty minutes for you to call me.” He said, “We have called you several times (几次).”
Finally, I took the boarding pass (机牌) and ran over to the gate. I was the last person onto the plane.

Many people enjoy watching movies in a cinema. They think the cinema has a better atmosphere (气氛) to enjoy the movie. However, I think people are happier and freer when watching movies at home.
Watching movies at home is more comfortable. To watch movies in a cinema, you have to buy the ticket before you go there for a better seat. However, there is no need for people at home to worry about the ticket. They can enjoy movies at any time they like with the most comfortable seat. What’s more, watching movies at home wouldn’t have to face any traffic (交通) problem.
It is free to watch movies at home. In the cinema, we cannot go outside and do something else because the movie won’t wait for us. Sometimes, if we miss (错过) part of the movie, we cannot follow the story. At home, we can pause (暂停) at any time and go back to watch the part.
All in all, a cinema is a good place to watch movies, but it isn’t the best place to enjoy the movies. I think watching movies at home is better.
( )40.How does the writer like watching movies at home?
A. Uncomfortable. B. Enjoyable. C. Boring. D. Funny.
( )41.What are the reasons that the writer likes watching movies at home?
①feel freer and happier ②don’t worry about the ticket
③have a better atmosphere ④save more time on the road
A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①③④ D. ①②④
( )42.What’s the writer’s attitude (态度) towards watching movies in a cinema?
A. He doesn’t mind it. B. He can’t stand it. C. He doesn’t like it. D. He loves it.
( )43.Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. It is Better to Watch Movies than TV Shows.
B. Better to Watch a Movie in a Cinema or at Home?
C. Let’s Watch Movies in a Cinema. D. Let’s Not Watch Movies at Home.
( )44.Which is the best structure of the passage? (Paragraph1=①,...Paragraph4=④)
A.①②/③/④ B.①②/③④ C.①/②③/④ D.①/②③④
