It is almost impossible to imagine modern life without it. The first mobile phones were very different from the smart devices we use today. They were so large and heavy that people called them “bricks”. Their only function (功能) was to make phone calls, and the battery (电池) life was very short. However, scientists and engineers never stopped improving. Step by step, mobile phones became smaller, lighter, and more powerful. The introduction of the SMS function allowed people to send text messages, which became very popular. Then, cameras were added, turning the phone into a tool for recording our lives. ________ Later, when the internet connection arrived, it changed everything completely. People could now surf the internet, check emails, and use social media on their phones. Today, a smartphone is a powerful computer in our pocket. We use it not only for communication but also for learning, working, and entertainment. We can get the latest news, find our way in a new city with a map, or even order food online. It has made our lives much more convenient. Looking back at the journey of the mobile phone, we can see how rapidly technology advances.

Some people send videos of personal events like holidays and weddings. Using live streaming (网络直播) is particularly popular among the people aged 18 to 35. Even the teachers give lessons by live streaming. Besides leaving reviews on the screen, viewers can also communicate directly with the hosts by buying virtual (虚拟的) gifts such as flowers, toys and cars for them online. The most recent famous example was the Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui. She did one-hour live streaming which attracted more than 11 million viewers. What’s more, live streaming allows users to communicate with strangers and express themselves. A 19-year -old college student called Nic Li says she spends three to four hours each week chatting and singing with viewers through one app called Ingkee. “Sometimes I feel lonely and want to talk to people,” she says, “I feel nice when viewers are paying attention to me.” However, there are worries about the misuse of live streaming. Papi Jiang promised to correct her unsuitable and impolite after she was warmed by the officials. As there are more than 80 apps and 300 websites for live streaming in China, the Internet regulator (监管机构) can hardly monitor the content all the time. “We support the use of live streaming.

Foreigners think Chinese is a mysterious and difficult language because it is very different from the Roman alphabet (罗马字母). In fact, Chinese is not much more difficult than learning any other language. One reason is that Chinese does not have the kind of complex tenses (时态) like European languages. Although it is certainly not easy for foreigners, in my experience you can learn Chinese quickly. You will certainly find differences between the language in textbooks and people’s everyday speech. One example of this is the differences between language on the street, written Chinese, and Internet culture. It produces new phrases and vocabulary. In real life nowadays, people often use short, less conversational phrases to communicate with each other. China has many provinces (省) and their dialects are different. After you learn and understand the Beijing dialect, you may find it is hard to understand Shanghai dialect. ▲ So it is still not easy for learners, no matter how well they learn from textbooks. I hope that one day more Chinese courses are able to connect with “real” spoken Chinese and with the daily way Chinese people speak. It will help foreign learners really communicate with local Chinese. 1. According to the passage, why is Chinese not so difficult to learn? A．Because you can communicate with more than a billion people. B．Because it is different from the Roman alphabet. C．Because it does not have the kind of complex tenses. D．Because it is a good experience to learn a language. 2. According to the writer’s experience, what will you find when you learn Chinese quickly? A．Learn Chinese by walking on the street and surfing on the Internet. B．Write down new phrases and vocabulary when you learn them. C．Find differences between the language in textbooks and real life. D．Learn different dialects of different provinces and understand them. 3. What does the underlined word “dialects” mean in Paragraph 4? A．A special language in one area. B．A special people in one area. C．A special culture in one area. D．A special food in one area. 4. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 5? A．The language continues developing. B．Learners should learn some Internet culture. C．Learning Chinese has become more popular. D．Chinese is one of the most difficult languages. 5. What’s the best title of the passage? A．New Studies on Chinese Learning B．Learning Chinese Is Challenging C．Mysterious and Difficult Chinese D．Learning Chinese from Textbooks 【答案】1. C 2. C 3. A 4. A 5. B 【导语】本文主要介绍了学习中文虽然具有挑战性但也是一种很好的体验，作者分析了外国人觉得中文难的原因，分享了自己学习中文的经验，指出了书本语言与现实生活用语的差异以及方言的存在，并对未来的中文教学提出了展望。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“In fact, Chinese is not much more difficult than learning any other language. One reason is that Chinese does not have the kind of complex tenses like European languages.”可知，中文之所以没那么难学，一个原因是因为它没有像欧洲语言那样复杂的时态。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Although it is certainly not easy for foreigners, in my experience you can learn Chinese quickly. You will certainly find differences between the language in textbooks and people’s everyday speech.”可知，以作者的经验来看，尽管学中文对外国人不算轻松，但也能快速学会；而在快速学习中文的过程中，你必然会发现“课本里的语言”和“人们日常口语”之间的差异。故选C。 3. 词句猜测题。根据第四段“China has many provinces and their dialects are different. After you learn and understand the Beijing dialect, you may find it is hard to understand Shanghai dialect.”可知，中国有很多省份，北京话和上海话不同；因此，划线单词“dialects”指不同地区的特殊语言 (方言)，选项A“一个地区的特殊语言”符合语境。故选A。 4. 推理判断题。根据上文“It produces new phrases and vocabulary.”以及下文“So it is still not easy for learners, no matter how well they learn from textbooks.”可知，此处是在总结语言因不断产生新内容而导致学习困难这一现象。因此，空处应填入说明语言处于发展变化中；选项A“语言在继续发展。”符合语境。故选A。 5. 最佳标题题。文章开头提到“Learning Chinese is a challenging but good experience”，中间讨论了中文的难点 (现实与课本的差距、方言)，最后总结“So it is still not easy for learners”。整篇文章都在围绕学习中文的挑战性展开；选项B“学习中文是具有挑战性的”最适合作文章的标题。故选B。 Passage 5 Chemistry is usually thought to be more difficult than other subjects, at least for the beginners. There are some reasons for this idea. For one thing, chemistry has a very specialized vocabulary (学科专用语汇) . At first, studying chemistry is like learning a new language.

For some people, they almost never write things by hand. However, recent studies have shown this act has many benefits. New brain research, led by researchers in the Norwegian University, shares the same result: choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory. “When you write your shopping list or lecture notes by hand, you simply remember things better afterwards,” said Audrey, leader of the study. The study was conducted using a machine to track and record brain wave activity. The participants included 12 young adults and 12 child. This is the first time that children have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard. Then the machine bogan to work. Each examination took 45 minutes for a person. The results showed that the brain in both young adults and children is more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Audrey, plenty of senses are made active by pressing a pen on paper, writing. These sense experiences build contact between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning. Audrey believes that the outcomes stress the importance of children learning to write at an early age, especially at school. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills. lt is important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible, ”Audrey added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an essay, but you should take notes by hand during a lecture. 1. What does “this act” mean in the 1 paragraph? A．writing things with a keyboard B．writing things with a pen C．never writing things by hand D．writing either on a keyboard or with a pen 2. How many participants took part in the study? A．12 B．24 C．45 D．Not mentioned 3. What’s the correct order of doing the study? ①Participants were chosen and prepared for it. ②The researchers studied on the results shown. ③A machine tracked and recorded the brain wave activity. ④Each participant wrote by hand and typed on a keyboard. A．①④③② B．①③④② C．②③①④ D．③②④① 4. What does this passage want to tell us? A．Children like writing by hand more than adults do. B．Typing on a keyboard is convenient and fashionable. C．Writing by hand does more good than we’ve known. D．Nothing should be done by typing from the study on. 5. Which one can be the best title for this passage? A．Amage for keyboard. B．A time for modern machines. C．Putting your brain in a leaning state. D．Writing by hand helps learn better 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. A 4. C 5. D 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章通过一项研究表明了手写更有利于开发大脑，可以帮助我们更好地学习的观点。 1. 词义猜测题。根据第一段“they almost never write things by hand. However, recent studies have shown this act has many benefits.”可知，他们几乎从不手写东西，然而最近的研究表明这种行为有很多好处。所以“this act”指代前句提到的“write things by hand”，选项B与其同义。故选B。 2. 细节理解题。根据第四段“The participants included 12 young adults and 12 child.”可知，参与者包括12名年轻人和12名儿童，所以一共有24名参与者。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据第四、五段内容“ The participants included 12 young adults and 12 child...when typing on a keyboard.”可知，首先是挑选参与者做好准备，第二步要求每个参与者手写和键盘打字，然后机器开始工作，跟踪记录他们的脑电波活动轨迹，最后研究人员对结果进行研究，所以正确的顺序是①④③②。故选A。 4. 主旨大意题。根据第一段“ For some people, they almost never write things by hand. However, recent studies have shown this act has many benefits.”可知，对一些人来说，他们几乎从不手写东西，然而最近的研究表明这种行为是有很多好处的，所以作者是想告诉我们用笔写字的好处比我们知道得多。故选C。 5. 最佳标题题。根据第一段“However, recent studies have shown this act has many benefits.”和第五段“These sense experiences build contact between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning”可知，手写有很多的好处，而且可以帮助我们大脑不同部分之间建立联系，为了学习开发大脑。选项D“手写有助于更好地学习”符合文章表述。故选D。 Passage 7 Wild boars (野猪) are not new to us, but in recent years, they have become a bigger problem. They are found in many areas and their actions have influenced our daily lives. Wild boars are known for their strong bodies and special living habits. They live in groups and are very active. They are omnivores (杂食动物), eating different kinds of things like fruits, nuts, and even small animals. Their sense of smell is excellent, which helps them search for food without difficulty. This means they can be found near places with plenty of food all the time. However, this has led to some serious issues. They often enter farmlands and destroy the crops. Farmers work hard to grow these crops, but wild boars damage them. This causes farmers to lose money and reduce the production of crops. Besides, the increasing number of wild boars has caused more dangerous situations. _______. For example, a wild boar once hit a train, which led to the train being stopped and held up other trains. This kind of accident can be very dangerous for people’s lives. To deal with these problems, the government has taken steps. Professional (专业的) hunting teams have been set up in some areas to control the number of wild boars. Also, some places are building barriers (障碍物) to prevent wild boars from entering farmlands and human living areas. It’s important to find a balance between protecting these animals and safeguarding human life. 1. Which of the following do the wild boars prefer to eat? A． B． C． D． 2.

D．There are about 2 million wild boars in 28 Chinese provinces. 4. What’s the purpose of building barriers? A．To control the wild boars. B．To make wild boars live better. C．To reduce the number of wild boars. D．To keep the wild boars away from human living areas. 5. What is the best title for the passage? A．The Food Wild Boars Like B．The Number of Wild Boars C．How to Protect Wild Boars D．The Troubles Caused by Wild Boars 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. C 4. D 5. D 【导语】本文主要讲述了野猪数量增加后给人类带来的各种麻烦，如破坏庄稼、造成交通事故等，以及政府为解决这些问题采取的措施。 1. 细节理解题。根据“They are omnivores (杂食动物), eating different kinds of things like fruits, nuts, and even small animals.”可知，野猪是杂食动物，喜欢吃水果、坚果甚至小动物等，故选A。 2. 词句猜测题。根据“However, this has led to some serious issues. They often enter farmlands and destroy the crops. Farmers work hard to grow these crops, but wild boars damage them. This causes farmers to lose money and reduce the production of crops.”可知，野猪进入农田破坏庄稼，导致农民损失钱财和减少作物产量，这些都是不好的情况，也就是问题。所以“issues”在这里的意思是“Problems”。故选B。 3. 推理判断题。根据“Besides, the increasing number of wild boars has caused more dangerous situations.”以及“For example, a wild boar once hit a train, which led to the train being stopped and held up other trains. This kind of accident can be very dangerous for people’s lives.”可知，野猪数量增加造成了更危险的情况，后面举例野猪撞火车导致事故，说明这里应该是说野猪有时会走到道路上或者铁路上才会造成这样的事故。所以“Sometimes they even walk onto the roads or railways.”可以放在“_______”处。故选C。 4. 细节理解题。根据“Also, some places are building barriers (障碍物) to prevent wild boars from entering farmlands and human living areas.”可知，建造障碍物的目的是阻止野猪进入农田和人类居住区。故选D。 5. 最佳标题题。文章主要讲述了野猪数量增加后给人类带来的各种麻烦，如破坏庄稼、造成交通事故等，以及政府为解决这些问题采取的措施。所以“The Troubles Caused by Wild Boars”作为标题最合适。故选D。 Passage 8 The National Report on Vision (视力) says the population of Chinese with short-sightedness (近视) has reached 600 million, and about 70% of the teenagers (aged from 13 to 19) are short-sighted. China Daily reported more serious vision problems in China. In the report, 80% senior high school students are short-sighted, followed by 71% in junior high school, 36% in primary school and 14% of 6-year-olds. The shocking numbers are still rising these days. What causes this eyesight problem? Besides family history, there are some other reasons, such as not having enough outdoor activities, being short of enough sleep and too much use of electronic products (电子产品). However, many young people don’t take short-sightedness seriously before they are short-sighted. They think it’s easy to solve the problem with the help of glasses, or eye operations (手术). And some of them even think that it is cool to wear glasses. When they became short-sighted, spent a lot of money on glasses, and felt uncomfortable after operations, they would regret for not caring about their eyes. Here’s one of the best ways to protect your eyes. Research shows that people with more outdoor activities have better vision. Being outdoors not only gives your eyes enough light, but also helps you look far to relax your eyes. The most important advantage is that you use fewer electronic products like smartphones and TV. Let’s try our best to take care of the windows of our hearts—eyes. 1. Which can best show the short-sighted problem of students? (rate: 比率) A． B． C． D． 2. What does the underlined word “shocking” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Surprising. B．Exciting. C．Interesting. D．Developing. 3. What are the reasons for short-sightedness? ①family history          ②wearing glasses every day ③being short of sleep      ④not having enough outdoor activities ⑤too much use of electronic products A．②③④⑤ B．①③④⑤ C．①②④⑤ D．①②③④ 4. What can we know according to Paragraph 3? A．All people think short-sightedness is a serious problem. B．Glasses and eye operations are useless. C．Many people don’t treat it as a problem before they are short-sighted. D．There is only one way to protect your eyes. 5. What’s the purpose of the passage?

It also has new electronic warfare systems, missiles, and radar, which make it better at finding and attacking enemy targets. The J-20S can fly very fast and move around easily, thanks to its new wing and tail designs, as well as a new type of engine. Besides the J-20S, China also showed many other amazing aircraft and weapons at the exhibition.

Don’t worry if we haven’t learned well how to save or spend money. The following life lessons about money can help us form good spending habits. Money doesn’t grow on trees.

Going to their workplaces to watch how they work is a great way to understand money is not that easy to make. We shouldn’t spend all our money in one go. It’s important for us to have a budget (预算) .

It is almost impossible to imagine modern life without it. The first mobile phones were very different from the smart devices we use today. They were so large and heavy that people called them “bricks”. Their only function (功能) was to make phone calls, and the battery (电池) life was very short. However, scientists and engineers never stopped improving. Step by step, mobile phones became smaller, lighter, and more powerful. The introduction of the SMS function allowed people to send text messages, which became very popular. Then, cameras were added, turning the phone into a tool for recording our lives. ________ Later, when the internet connection arrived, it changed everything completely. People could now surf the internet, check emails, and use social media on their phones. Today, a smartphone is a powerful computer in our pocket. We use it not only for communication but also for learning, working, and entertainment. We can get the latest news, find our way in a new city with a map, or even order food online. It has made our lives much more convenient. Looking back at the journey of the mobile phone, we can see how rapidly technology advances. It reminds us that great things often start from simple beginnings and that the future will surely bring even more amazing changes. 1. “Bricks” is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to show ________. A．the first mobile phones were large and heavy B．the first mobile phones could be used as tools C．the first mobile phones were very cheap to make D．the first mobile phones had a short battery life 2.

Some people send videos of personal events like holidays and weddings. Using live streaming (网络直播) is particularly popular among the people aged 18 to 35. Even the teachers give lessons by live streaming. Besides leaving reviews on the screen, viewers can also communicate directly with the hosts by buying virtual (虚拟的) gifts such as flowers, toys and cars for them online. The most recent famous example was the Olympic swimmer Fu Yuanhui. She did one-hour live streaming which attracted more than 11 million viewers. What’s more, live streaming allows users to communicate with strangers and express themselves. A 19-year -old college student called Nic Li says she spends three to four hours each week chatting and singing with viewers through one app called Ingkee. “Sometimes I feel lonely and want to talk to people,” she says, “I feel nice when viewers are paying attention to me.” However, there are worries about the misuse of live streaming. Papi Jiang promised to correct her unsuitable and impolite after she was warmed by the officials. As there are more than 80 apps and 300 websites for live streaming in China, the Internet regulator (监管机构) can hardly monitor the content all the time. “We support the use of live streaming. But people should be aware of the two sides of it.” One of the officials said. 1. What do more and more people in China show by videos on their phones? A．Their teachers. B．Parts of their lives.

Passage 3 Altay, in Northwest China’s Xinjiang, is known as the “Snow Captial of China” and the birthplace of skiing (滑雪). Recently, a popular TV show To the Wonder, coming from the novel. My Altay by Chinese writer Li Juan, has drawn people’s attention to the place. The amazing landscapes (风景) and free lifestyles seen in the TV show quickly made Altay a hot place for tourists. “It’s like a place out of this world. I can’t imagine how happy I would be to wake up and see such beautiful landscapes every morning. My husband and I are planning a trip to Xinjiang and we’ll certainly include Altay in our journey,” said Zhang Chen, a 31-year-old from Beijing. Since the screening of the TV show on May 7, the number of tourists in Altay has grown rapidly. According to Fliggy, China’s leading online travel platform, searches for Altay travel increased by more than five times within just 10 days, and the number of air ticket bookings to Altay increased by more than 50 percent. The tourist season in Altay usually lasts from July to August. However, thanks to the impact of this TV show, it arrived earlier this year, around June. Actually, Altay has long been well-known for its natural beauty. However, it didn’t become very popular for certain reasons, including long travel times. Although it’s still difficult for Altay to receive (接待) large numbers of travelers, its government is trying to improve people’s travel experiences. It has a bright future for tourism development. 1.

Foreigners think Chinese is a mysterious and difficult language because it is very different from the Roman alphabet (罗马字母). In fact, Chinese is not much more difficult than learning any other language. One reason is that Chinese does not have the kind of complex tenses (时态) like European languages. Although it is certainly not easy for foreigners, in my experience you can learn Chinese quickly. You will certainly find differences between the language in textbooks and people’s everyday speech. One example of this is the differences between language on the street, written Chinese, and Internet culture. It produces new phrases and vocabulary. In real life nowadays, people often use short, less conversational phrases to communicate with each other. China has many provinces (省) and their dialects are different. After you learn and understand the Beijing dialect, you may find it is hard to understand Shanghai dialect. ▲ So it is still not easy for learners, no matter how well they learn from textbooks. I hope that one day more Chinese courses are able to connect with “real” spoken Chinese and with the daily way Chinese people speak. It will help foreign learners really communicate with local Chinese. 1. According to the passage, why is Chinese not so difficult to learn? A．Because you can communicate with more than a billion people. B．Because it is different from the Roman alphabet. C．Because it does not have the kind of complex tenses. D．Because it is a good experience to learn a language. 2. According to the writer’s experience, what will you find when you learn Chinese quickly? A．Learn Chinese by walking on the street and surfing on the Internet. B．Write down new phrases and vocabulary when you learn them. C．Find differences between the language in textbooks and real life. D．Learn different dialects of different provinces and understand them. 3. What does the underlined word “dialects” mean in Paragraph 4? A．A special language in one area. B．A special people in one area. C．A special culture in one area. D．A special food in one area. 4. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 5? A．The language continues developing. B．Learners should learn some Internet culture. C．Learning Chinese has become more popular. D．Chinese is one of the most difficult languages. 5. What’s the best title of the passage? A．New Studies on Chinese Learning B．Learning Chinese Is Challenging C．Mysterious and Difficult Chinese D．Learning Chinese from Textbooks Passage 5 Chemistry is usually thought to be more difficult than other subjects, at least for the beginners. There are some reasons for this idea. For one thing, chemistry has a very specialized vocabulary (学科专用语汇) . At first, studying chemistry is like learning a new language. Also, ▲ However, with hard work and careful study, you can finish this subject successfully and even enjoy it. Here are some suggestions to help you develop good study habits and better understand the topics in the book. ·Firstly, attend classes on time. Listen to your teacher and take careful notes in class. If possible, always review the topics you learn in class, and review your notes on the same day ·Secondly, think carefully whether you really understand the meaning of a term or the use of an equation (方程式). A good way to test your understanding is to explain a concept (概念) to a classmate or someone else. ·Thirdly, pay attention to things which have something to do with chemistry in life. Watch or do experiments in class carefully. ·Fourthly, question often and do not be afraid to ask your teacher or classmates for help. You will find that chemistry is much more than numbers, formulas (分子式) and equations. It’s often used in daily life just like math and physics. Once you fall in love with it, you’ll get lots of fun. 1. Which of the following can be put in “ ▲ ” in Paragraph 1? A．All concepts (概念) of chemistry can be understood easily. B．You only need to understand specialized vocabulary. C．Some concepts of chemistry are hard to understand. D．You don’t need to understand some concepts of chemistry. 2. How many suggestions does the writer give the readers? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 3. What does the underlined word “term” in paragraph 3 probably mean?

C．To explain the concept to someone else. D．To find something about chemistry in life. 5. What’s the main idea of the passage? A．How do students study chemistry? B．Why chemistry is hard for beginners? C．The importance of chemistry and physics. D．The differences between chemistry and physics. Passage 6 Nowadays, we write things with a keyboard more often than that with a pen. For some people, they almost never write things by hand. However, recent studies have shown this act has many benefits. New brain research, led by researchers in the Norwegian University, shares the same result: choosing handwriting over using a keyboard results in better learning and memory. “When you write your shopping list or lecture notes by hand, you simply remember things better afterwards,” said Audrey, leader of the study. The study was conducted using a machine to track and record brain wave activity. The participants included 12 young adults and 12 child. This is the first time that children have participated in such a study. Each subject was asked to write by hand and type on a keyboard. Then the machine bogan to work. Each examination took 45 minutes for a person. The results showed that the brain in both young adults and children is more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard. According to Audrey, plenty of senses are made active by pressing a pen on paper, writing. These sense experiences build contact between different parts of the brain, opening the brain up for learning. Audrey believes that the outcomes stress the importance of children learning to write at an early age, especially at school. “If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor (精细动作) skills. lt is important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible, ”Audrey added. For example, you might use a keyboard to write an essay, but you should take notes by hand during a lecture. 1. What does “this act” mean in the 1 paragraph? A．writing things with a keyboard B．writing things with a pen C．never writing things by hand D．writing either on a keyboard or with a pen 2. How many participants took part in the study? A．12 B．24 C．45 D．Not mentioned 3. What’s the correct order of doing the study? ①Participants were chosen and prepared for it. ②The researchers studied on the results shown. ③A machine tracked and recorded the brain wave activity. ④Each participant wrote by hand and typed on a keyboard. A．①④③② B．①③④② C．②③①④ D．③②④① 4. What does this passage want to tell us? A．Children like writing by hand more than adults do. B．Typing on a keyboard is convenient and fashionable. C．Writing by hand does more good than we’ve known. D．Nothing should be done by typing from the study on. 5. Which one can be the best title for this passage? A．Amage for keyboard. B．A time for modern machines. C．Putting your brain in a leaning state. D．Writing by hand helps learn better Passage 7 Wild boars (野猪) are not new to us, but in recent years, they have become a bigger problem. They are found in many areas and their actions have influenced our daily lives. Wild boars are known for their strong bodies and special living habits. They live in groups and are very active. They are omnivores (杂食动物), eating different kinds of things like fruits, nuts, and even small animals. Their sense of smell is excellent, which helps them search for food without difficulty. This means they can be found near places with plenty of food all the time. However, this has led to some serious issues. They often enter farmlands and destroy the crops. Farmers work hard to grow these crops, but wild boars damage them. This causes farmers to lose money and reduce the production of crops. Besides, the increasing number of wild boars has caused more dangerous situations. _______. For example, a wild boar once hit a train, which led to the train being stopped and held up other trains. This kind of accident can be very dangerous for people’s lives. To deal with these problems, the government has taken steps. Professional (专业的) hunting teams have been set up in some areas to control the number of wild boars. Also, some places are building barriers (障碍物) to prevent wild boars from entering farmlands and human living areas. It’s important to find a balance between protecting these animals and safeguarding human life. 1. Which of the following do the wild boars prefer to eat? A． B． C． D． 2.

China Daily reported more serious vision problems in China. In the report, 80% senior high school students are short-sighted, followed by 71% in junior high school, 36% in primary school and 14% of 6-year-olds. The shocking numbers are still rising these days. What causes this eyesight problem? Besides family history, there are some other reasons, such as not having enough outdoor activities, being short of enough sleep and too much use of electronic products (电子产品). However, many young people don’t take short-sightedness seriously before they are short-sighted. They think it’s easy to solve the problem with the help of glasses, or eye operations (手术). And some of them even think that it is cool to wear glasses. When they became short-sighted, spent a lot of money on glasses, and felt uncomfortable after operations, they would regret for not caring about their eyes. Here’s one of the best ways to protect your eyes. Research shows that people with more outdoor activities have better vision. Being outdoors not only gives your eyes enough light, but also helps you look far to relax your eyes. The most important advantage is that you use fewer electronic products like smartphones and TV. Let’s try our best to take care of the windows of our hearts—eyes. 1. Which can best show the short-sighted problem of students? (rate: 比率) A． B．C． D． 2. What does the underlined word “shocking” in Paragraph 2 mean? A．Surprising. B．Exciting. C．Interesting. D．Developing. 3.

Then he noticed the leaves on the trees moving. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind,“That’s energy. Why not make use of it?” With this idea, Jerome quickly went back home. He decided to make a tree to produce electricity. At first,   ▲ , because they thought it might take a lot of time to finish the design. However, the man didn’t give up easily. He organized a team and its members were all engineers.They did some research and tried many methods. After three years of hard work, they finally developed a nearly eight-meter-tall Wind Tree. It looks like a tree. Its plastic leaves can turn and produce electricity even when there is a little wind. Each year, one Wind Tree can produce nearly18,000 kWh, which is enough to support a family of four. This could cut the yearly carbon emissions(碳排放) of the family by over 12 tons. Even better, the trees make little noise when they are working. This isn’t detrimental to humans or animals, and it’s good for the environment. Jerome also made three different colors of leaves besides the common green, blue and orange in order to meet different people’s needs. So far, 130 Wind Trees have been “planted” around the world. The Wind Tree is a meaningful invention that makes clean energy and helps protect the environment. Jerome said, “We hope Wind Trees can be connected with other methods such as geothermal power(地热发电) and energy-saving buildings. In the future, we will develop a perfect Wind Tree system.” 1.

C．A large number of Wind Trees have been built in the world. D．Only heavy wind can make plastic leaves turn and produce electricity. Passage 10 The Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling is considered to be one of the most popular stories all over the world. There are plenty of life lessons that can be learned from the series. Here are four of my favorites: Friends will always try their best to help you. Whenever Harry finds himself in trouble, Ron and Hermione face it with him together. Harry, Ron and Hermione help each other with their own talents. With the support of friends, anything is possible. It is great to be smart, but sometimes it isn’t the most important thing. There are more important things than smartness—friendship and courage. As Hermione points out, sometimes knowing the right answer is not enough. Although Harry may fail without the help of Hermione, his courage makes him able to fight for what he believes in. You control your future through the choices that you make. Sometimes it may seem everything is out of your hands. However, with the right mindset (心态), you can control your life. For teenagers, everything seems to be controlled by pressure from parents, teachers and friends. However, your thoughts and actions can make everything change. Love is the most powerful weapon (武器) you can have. Love saves Harry many times throughout the stories.

However, some studies show a serious problem: today’s teenagers lack media literacy (素养).That’s to say, they have difficulty telling the right from the wrong about the information. One study was done on middle school students. It showed that more than 80% of them couldn’t tell the difference between real news and ads that looked like news. Professor Kevin John tried to help his students learn media literacy. He gave an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One pays attention to the terrible road conditions. The other pays attention to kids playing in the snow. “News stations tell you the important details (细节) on what they feel. These details depend on the opinions of the news reporter,” said john. “A person who has media literacy will know that each story is just about one part of the event at that time. There is more going on.” Some people think school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone—from parents to reporters—should help teenagers learn it. As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many people suggest the age of twelve.
