一、阅读理解。
A
①(蚌埠期末)According to a survey, 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.
②Watching 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 and with the most comfortable seat. What's more, people watching movies at home wouldn't have to face any traffic problem.
③It 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 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.
④All 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.

Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother's Camp. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? 1. __
At Mother's Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask, “Mom, what's for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can't find any clean socks.” 2. __ Many of them work fulltime and then come home to a second job—taking care of their homes and families.

四、阅读与表达。
(阜新期末)Have you ever tried paper folding(折纸)? It is a popular activity for people of all ages. Many artists have been practising it for years, and some are even making a living out of their excellent paper folding skills.
As a big fan of paper folding, Jaeil Jeong knew nothing about it before his parents brought home a paper folding book. Young Jeong quickly took an interest in the creations inside and learned to fold some of them himself.
As a result, he found it so interesting that he decided to take it up as a hobby. At first, he copied designs(图样)he found in books and gradually made great progress. He was able to create his own designs at the age of ten. Today Jeong has become a master in paper folding.
For Jeong, paper folding is not just a hobby. It's a great way to clear his mind. “Whenever I study for a test or search for a job, I make sure I have a piece of paper with me,” Jeong said. “There are moments when things don't go my way—that's when I prefer to take my paper out and begin to fold. My mind is clear as if I am meditating(冥想). It can really bring me lots of pleasure.”

One of my hobbies is reading. I enjoy exploring different kinds of books, from fiction to nonfiction. Reading helps me relax and gain new knowledge, making it a rewarding pastime.
When I told my mom I was going to go without my cell phone for a week, she was more nervous than I was. “What are you going to do if you get kidnapped(绑架)?” she asked me. I told her I would be careful.
My mom likes the cell phone because I call her after I'm done with tutoring or meetings so she knows when and where to pick me up.
Before I left for summer school on a Monday, my mom and I arranged where she would pick me up. I asked her to try her best to come on time because she's usually late. I left my phone in her car. To pass the time I brought some summer reading novels. I also wore my old watch so I wouldn't have to ask people for the time.
For the first two days, she was usually around five to ten minutes late to pick me up. On the third day, it was cloudy, windy and cold and of course my mom was late. I stood shivering(发抖)and waiting for 20 minutes, and then I got a cold. I wondered if she got into a car accident. When she arrived, I ran to the car for warmth. On the fourth day, I waited for about 15 minutes for my mom.
After surviving a week without my cell phone, I learned how to be more patient and I realised that cell phones and other things are making us less patient.Yes, technology is good, but everything that is good always has a downside(反面).
