Recently, the school has introduced the special chairs for students to rest during the lunch break. This trial run has been made across three grades, with over 1300 sets provided for all the students. “Before this, I could only rest at my desk for a while, often leading to numb hands and a sore neck. Sometimes I even found myself pressing my eyes against my arms, causing discomfort,” the 15-year-old Zhang told the reporter. “Now, lying down to sleep is very comfortable.” For Wang, lying down to sleep has made her more willing to rest. “I used to sleep for about 20 minutes at most before we got up. Now I choose to sleep 10 to 20 minutes earlier,” said the 15-year-old girl. She added that the longer sleep time also helps her do better in her afternoon studies. According to Xu Weimin, a sleep expert in Shanghai, lying down for a sleep has great advantages physically and mentally. “It can relax the muscles (肌肉) and improve blood flow to the brain,” Xu told Xinhua. However, there have also been some worries about the special chairs. “Some students might lie on their chairs even during class, so it needs effective management,” Chu, an English teacher told the reporter. “But all in all, I think it brings more good than bad.” 11. What problems does resting at the desk cause according to Zhang? ①Numb hands. ②A sore neck. ③Uncomfortable eyes. ④Sore legs. A. ①②③ B. ②③④ C. ①②④ D. ①③④ 12. What does Wang think about lying down to sleep? A. It is very comfortable. B. It brings more good than bad. C. It has made her more unwilling to rest. D. It helps her perform better in studies. 13. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The sleep expert’s idea. B. Lying down for a sleep. C. Relaxing the muscles. D. Improving blood flow. 14. What is the right structure of the passage? (P1=Paragraph 1) A. B. C. D. 15. What is the main idea of Paragraph 5? A The future of the special chairs. B. The advantages of the special chairs. C. Some worries about the special chairs. D. Ways to effectively manage the special chairs. B Some primary schools in the United States allow students to keep pets in the classroom. While class pets can be cute and cuddly, many people are concerned that they’re also a distraction for students and an added responsibility for teachers. What do you think? Should we stop having classroom pets? Yes-school is for learning Classroom pets are adorable, but that’s exactly the problem. Students will want to play with them all day, rather than paying attention to reading, math, or science. Taking care of class pets requires time and effort, which isn’t fair to teachers. Even if kids help, the teacher is ultimately responsible for the animals and making sure someone takes them home during school breaks. Noisy classrooms can also be scary and stressful for pets, which can cause health problems for them. Besides, students and teachers might not know the best way to care for them, and if the animals need to see a vet, who will pay the bill for that? Overall, it’s not a great idea. No-they’re a beneficial bonus Caring for animals in class teaches students to take care of another living thing and helps them learn responsibility and compassion. Many students don’t have pets at home, so this is their only chance to have that experience. Students can also develop strong emotional bonds with class pets, which can positively affect their behavior and performance in school. And kids who are feeling stressed or upset can spend time with the animal, which will help them calm down and feel better. Class pets are also great for learning. There are many ways to incorporate them into math problems, creative writing, or science lessons. 16. What is the main argument against having pets in the classroom? A. They are too expensive for schools to afford. B. Most students are allergic to common classroom pets. C. They often make the classroom too noisy for teaching. D. They distract students from learning and add extra responsibility for teachers. 17. According to the “Yes” opinion, what might cause health problems for classroom pets? A. Hunger and thirst. B. Noisy classrooms. C. Cold temperature. D. Dirty living space. 18. According to the “No” opinion, which student might benefit MOST from having a class pet? A. A student who already has three pets at home. B. A student who is always the first to finish their work. C. A student who feels anxious before a big test. D. A student who prefers learning through lectures only. 19. What is the underlined word “incorporate” most closely means? A. to separate from B. to take a look carefully C. to include or combine D. to draw a picture of 20. Why does the author present both “Yes” and “No” views? A. To present a balanced discussion on a debated topic. B To encourage schools to buy more pets for classes. C. To prove that class pets are harmful to learning. D. To show that having class pets is mainly a teacher’s decision. C Abe no Nakamaro was born in a noble Japanese family. As a young man, he was smart and hard-working. In 717, Abe was sent to China to study Chinese culture by the Japanese government. At that time, China under the Tang Dynasty was one of the world’s most developed countries, attracting a large number of students from nearby countries. After arriving in Chang’an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Abe studied hard and became very interested in Chinese poetry. He even had his Chinese name “Chao Heng”. Unlike most Japanese students who returned home after their studies, Abe decided to stay and serve in China.

During his 45 years in China, Abe was fully involved in Chinese society. He often met with Chinese scholars and became close friends with famous poets like Wang Wei and Li Bai. It is said that when Abe was about to leave China, Wang Wei wrote a poem and gave it to Abe as a goodbye gift. Another time, when Li Bai mistakenly heard that Abe had died in an accident, he wrote a poem to mourn (悼念) his friend. While learning from China, Abe also shared Japanese culture and customs with Chinese scholars and officials. He introduced Japanese poems (waka), a short poem style. He also talked about Japanese festivals, like the Star Festival, which was celebrated with writing poems. This helped Chinese people learn about Japanese life.
