Our questions were about exercise, eating fruit and vegetables, and doing eye exercises. The results are shown below: More and more students pay attention to their health. However, it’s difficult for them to exercise quite often because of heavy schoolwork. Some students don’t have any time to exercise. The survey shows that most of them eat fruit and vegetables very often. Most students do eye exercises every day, which improves the situation of short-sighted (近视眼的) students. Experts suggest that students should balance their exercise and diet. Parents should spend more time with their children going out to nature to exercise and enjoy themselves. It is good for both the mind and the body. 根据短文和图表内容，选择最佳答案。 31. How old are the students asked last month? A. 10—55. B. 13—16. C. 10—13. D. 16—55. 32.

(B) In the 1960s, when Li Zhenxia was 5, she liked oil-paper umbrellas and dreamed of buying a beautiful, red oil-paper umbrella in a store next to her grandmother’s house. But it was too expensive for her family to buy one at the time.. When she was 10, she saw a young bridegroom (新郎) walk by her house on his way to pick up his bride (新娘). She was touched by the image of him and his friends carrying six red oil-paper umbrellas. When she was in high school, her teacher would arrive with an oil-paper umbrella when it rained. She and the teacher became good friends. In 1996, Li’s dream of oil-paper umbrellas came true when she started learning how to make them by herself. Two years later, she made her first umbrella. Of course it was red. Today Li has her own store. She enjoys talking to her customers (顾客) and passing on her skills (技能) to her students. Making oil-paper umbrellas need over a hundred steps from cutting the bamboo and fixing the pieces together, to gluing (粘贴) the paper, drying it in the sun and brushing it with oil. The whole work takes between 15 days and several months and we need to finish all of them by hand. Now Li has two more stores, one in Guizhou and another in Sichuan Province. Of her three children, only her eldest son helps with the business. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 36. What was Li Zhenxia’s dream when she was young? A. To become a famous artist. B. To work as an art teacher. C.

Dreams can come true if we never give them up. (C) Have you ever imagined you will probably live in a “smart hotel” one day? Now your dream will be able to come true. Recently Chinese Internet giant Alibaba opened a special hotel with artificial intelligence (AI) and robots, automating (使自动化) any processes like check-in (办理登记入住), lights’ control (控制) and room service. The Flyzoo Hotel opened in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and it’s known as the company’s first “future hotel”. For guests (客人), it’s easy to live in the hotel. They can check into the hotel when their faces are simply scanned (扫描). The facial recognition system (面部识别系统) set up in the hotel also makes it possible for guests to use their faces as key cards to open doors and enjoy other hotel services. Guests can also control the lights, television and some other things in the room through another Alibaba’s special technology, while robots are made to serve dishes, wine and coffee. Although you don’t know how to check into the hotel, a robot called Space Egg will offer to lead you to deal with everything until you can live in your room comfortably. “The AI-based method can help guests save time and help the hotel’s workers have less work to do,” said Wang Qun, CEO of the hotel. “In the future, we’ll continue to make hotels smarter, as well as create more amazing experiences for guests,” added Wang. 根据短文内容，判断正(T)、误(F)。 41. The Flyzoo Hotel is known as Alibaba’s second “future hotel”. 42. In the Flyzoo Hotel guests can use their faces as key cards to do a lot of things. 43. If guests don’t know how to check into the Flyzoo Hotel, they can’t live comfortably. 44. Creating the FlyZoo Hotel is good for both the guests and the hotel’s workers. 45. The writer wrote the passage to introduce Alibaba’s future hotel. (D) Reach your goals one step at a time and do a little each day. So, starting your day on the right foot is very important. ____46____. Get up an hour early. People who get up early in the morning have a jump on the day. ____47____ As the saying goes, “The early bird gets the worm.” It means that people who get up early have a head start and are more likely (可能的) to succeed. Don’t look through WeChat Moments as soon as you get up. We’ve all done it. You see a WeChat post from a friend you haven’t seen for a long time. He is angry about something and the heated discussion makes you forget the time. ____48____ You run out of the door so that you won’t be late for work. This is not the best way to start your day. Exercise! It is a good idea to exercise in the morning because the middle of the day is busy for most people. ____49____ Exercising in the morning stops that. Think about your day at night.

He sat in front of the master and started telling him why he visited. The master listened quietly to the singer. The master then told the singer to go to the garden behind his house. There a rose plant and a tall tree were growing side by side. He told the singer, “They are your teachers. They can teach you what you want to learn.” The singer went into the garden, and saw the two plants. He thought hard but he could not understand what he could learn from them. Half an hour later, he had to go back to the master and asked, “What do you mean, master? I am not able to understand what and how these plants will teach me.” The master himself took the singer to the plants and explained, “This tree has been next to the rose plant for ten years. It never wanted to become a rose plant. Similarly, the rose plant never wanted to become a tree. If man were the tree, he would compare himself with the rose and feel jealous (嫉妒) at its beauty. Or, if man were the rose plant, he would feel jealous at its height! Both of the plants grew very well because they used all their energy (精力) to grow instead of using it to beat the other.” Hearing that, the singer was lost in thought. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 51.
