They can read e-books on phones, tablets and e-readers, or choose traditional paper books. But a recent study from the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences has found that the way we read has a big influence on our memory and learning effects. The study followed 320 middle school students across China for 6 months. The students were divided into two groups: one group mainly read paper books, and the other mainly read digital books. The researchers tested their memory of the reading content, their ability to understand deep meanings, and their reading attention span every month. The results showed that the paper book group performed much better in long-term memory tests. They could remember more details of the stories and articles they read 2 weeks earlier, compared with the digital reading group. What's more, the paper book readers had a better ability to understand the deep themes and hidden meanings of the articles. The researchers explained that when we read paper books, we are less likely to be distracted. There are no pop-up messages, notifications or video links to take our attention away, so we can focus more deeply on the content. On the other hand, digital reading is more suitable for getting quick, superficial information. The study found that digital readers are used to skimming and scrolling, which makes it hard for them to slow down and think deeply about the content. They often forget what they read quickly after finishing the text. However, the researchers also said that digital reading is not all bad. It is a convenient way to get information, and it can help teenagers read more widely. The key is to choose the right reading way for different purposes. If you want to learn something deeply and remember it for a long time, paper books are a better choice. If you just want to get the latest news or simple information quickly, digital reading is more convenient. "Reading is not just about finishing a text. It's about understanding, thinking and remembering," said the leading researcher of the study. "We should help teenagers develop good reading habits, and teach them to choose the right reading way for different needs." 39.What did the study from the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences mainly find? A.Digital reading is better than paper reading for all teenagers B.The reading way influences teenagers' memory and learning effects C.Paper books will be replaced by e-books completely in the future D.Teenagers prefer digital reading to traditional paper reading 40.The underlined word "distracted" in Paragraph 3 probably means ______ in English. A.unable to focus one's attention B.able to understand something quickly C.very interested in something D.very worried about something 41.What is the writer's main purpose of writing this passage? A.To introduce the development of digital reading B.To explain why paper books are disappearing in our life C.To tell readers the different effects of paper and digital reading D.To encourage teenagers to read more classic books 42.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.How to Develop a Good Reading Habit B.Paper Reading vs Digital Reading: Which is Better? C.The Best Way to Improve Your Memory D.The Development of Reading Ways in the Digital Age C When I was in Grade 7, I was a typical "Internet kid". I spent most of my free time playing online games and watching short videos. I thought reading was the most boring thing in the world. The only time I opened a book was when the teacher forced us to do reading homework. One day, our head teacher gave us a special task: to join the "Book Drifting for Green" activity. The rule was simple: we needed to collect second-hand books from our family and neighbors, and exchange them for saplings. The saplings would be planted in the nearby community park. "Every book you collect is a leaf on the tree of green," our teacher said. At first, I just took part in the activity to finish the homework. I asked my parents for 3 old books from the bookshelf, and planned to hand them in and finish the task. But when I went to the community center to exchange the books, I saw something that changed me completely. There were hundreds of books on the tables, and many volunteers were sorting them out. They told me that these books would be sent to village schools after the activity, and the saplings would be planted to make the community greener. "A second-hand book can have two lives: it can light up a child's world, and also grow into a tree to protect the earth," a volunteer told me. That sentence hit me like a warm light. I suddenly realized that books were not just boring paper with words. They carried knowledge, warmth and hope. I went back home and collected more than 20 books that I had never read before, and handed them in the next day. After that, I began to open those books. I started with a science book about plants, and then a novel about a boy's forest adventure. To my surprise, I found that reading was not boring at all. I could learn new things, see different worlds and experience different lives through the pages, just like I did in the games, but more real and meaningful. Now, two years have passed. I am the leader of our school's book drifting club. We hold book exchange activities every month, and send thousands of books to village schools every year. The saplings we planted have grown into small trees, and I have also grown from a game-crazy kid to a book lover. Reading is like a seed. When you plant it in your heart, it will grow into a big tree, and bring you endless green and hope. 43.What was the writer like when he was in Grade 7? A.He loved reading very much B.He spent most of his free time online C.He was a member of the book drifting club D.He often collected second-hand books 44.Why did the writer take part in the "Book Drifting for Green" activity at first? A.Because he wanted to get a sapling for his family B.Because he wanted to help the village kids C.Because he needed to finish his homework D.Because he loved collecting second-hand books 45.What does the underlined sentence "That sentence hit me like a warm light" mean in the passage? A.The volunteer's words made the writer feel very hot B.The volunteer's words enlightened the writer and changed his mind C.The writer was hurt by the volunteer's words D.The writer didn't care about the volunteer's words at all 46.What can we learn from the passage? A.The writer still hates reading now B.The activity only helped plant more trees in the park C.Reading can change a person and bring hope D.Second-hand books are useless for most people D My first home was a pleasant meadow with a clear pond running through it. When I was young, I ran with my mother by the pond, and ate the sweet grass in the meadow. My master was a kind man, and he called me Black Beauty, for my coat was shiny black, with a white star on my forehead. When I was two years old, something happened that I never forgot. One spring afternoon, I was eating grass in the field, when I heard a distant noise of dogs barking and horses running. My mother lifted her head and listened carefully. "It's the hounds," she said. At that moment, a wild hare rushed through the grass, with a group of dogs and horses running after it. The hare ran towards the thick wood at the end of the meadow, and the hounds followed. Then we heard a terrible crash, and a scream. Two horses had fallen when they jumped over the brook at the edge of the wood. One rider was thrown onto the ground, and the other was trapped under his horse. My mother and I stood still and watched. "That young man is George Gordon, the squire's son," my mother said sadly. "He loves riding, but he is too reckless. He always pushes the horses too hard, and never cares about the danger." Soon, more riders came. They lifted the young man, and carried him to the squire's house. The poor horse had broken its leg, and there was no way to save it. Later, we heard a gunshot in the wood, and we knew what had happened. My mother shook her head. "Many men care more about their own fun than the lives of their horses," she said. That day, I learned a lot. My mother told me that a good horse should always be gentle and hard-working, and never kick or bite. But she also said that we should always be careful of reckless riders, who don't know how to treat a horse well. "Good masters treat their horses like friends, not like tools," she said. Those words have stayed with me all my life. 47.What is the correct order of the following events? ①A gunshot was heard in the wood ②A wild hare rushed through the grass ③Two horses fell when jumping over the brook ④Black Beauty's mother told him about good masters A. ②③①④ B. ②①③④ C. ③②①④ D. ③①②④ 48.Which of the following sentences is the best to fill in the blank in the passage? A.I was very excited and wanted to run with the horses B.I was very scared and hid behind my mother C.I felt very angry about the young man's behavior D.I didn't understand what was happening at all 49.The underlined word "reckless" in Paragraph 4 probably means ______ in English. A.very careful and gentle B.not caring about danger and results C.very kind and friendly D.good at riding horses 50.Why did Black Beauty's mother shake her head sadly? A.Because the young man was hurt badly in the accident B.Because the poor horse had to be killed after the accident C.Because she was afraid of the hounds and the gunshot D.Because she thought people didn't value horses' lives enough （二）阅读对话·访谈 1.信息匹配（5选5，每题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面对话，从方框内所给选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，完成对话。 A: Hi, Zhang Wei!

The program asked every student to read the same book with their family in two months, and then share their reading stories at the school's family reading festival. Our class chose the novel The Little Prince as our reading book. My parents are always busy with their work, and we seldom did things together before. So at first, I was worried that we couldn't finish the task. But to my surprise, my parents decided to make a reading plan. We read one chapter every night after dinner, and talked about our ideas about the story. The two-month reading journey was amazing. We laughed together, talked together, and even acted out some parts of the story. For the first time, I felt that my parents were not just busy adults, but also my good friends. At the family reading festival, my family shared our reading story on the stage. We got the Best Family Reading Award, and we were all very proud.
