How about the teenagers in big cities? Here is a survey. We asked 4,000 teenagers in China about this question. Half of them come from big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The others are from small villages. We made a diagram (图表) of the result of our survey. Let’s have a look at it. We found out that teenagers from small villages do more chores than those from big cities. Maybe it is because they live a harder life. Our advice to parents in big cities is that parents should give their children some chores to do. Doing chores teaches teenagers to take care of themselves.

Maybe because the teenagers from villages live a harder life. B. Maybe because the teenagers from villages like doing chores. C. Maybe because the parents of the teenagers from big cities don’t need them to do it. D. Maybe because the parents of the teenagers from villages always ask their kids to do it. 13.

Steve: We are going to take the flying cars to go anywhere. We are going to improve space travel. There will be many spaceships. It’s easier for us to travel. One day, our neighbors will come from another planet. Lisa: I think science is going to improve a lot in the future. Every family will have their own robot. People are going to have more free time to enjoy life because robots will do lots of jobs. Mary: I think the world is going to be more polluted. We are going to find some medicine for deadly (致命的) illnesses, so people are going to live to be 200 years old. There will be more people and cities will be more crowded. There will be fewer trees because people need to cut down trees to build houses. Tony: I think people are going to look different in the future. Our heads are going to be bigger and our legs are going to be thinner. We don’t need to walk on legs because we are going to go out by car, by plane or even by spaceship. However, we need to work hard to make robots work for us. 15. What is Steve’s prediction about the way of future travel? A. B. C. D. 16. What does Lisa think our future life will be like? A.

Future Humans (C) What would you do if your best friend and you have different ideas? At first, I didn’t know what to do when I found that my best friend Karina disagreed with me on some things. When we first met in a summer camp, we got along so well. But then something happened at a picnic. “Did you hear about the shopping center news?” asked one of our friends Leo. “They want to cut down lots of trees to make room for a shopping center.” “That’s terrible! We have to stop that.” I said. “I disagree,” said Karina. “The shopping center would offer new jobs to people in need.” “But animals would lose their homes!” I said. “I want people to have jobs, but it doesn’t mean cutting down trees.” I wished Karina could agree with me about saving the trees, but she had her reasons for believing what she said. I was so angry that I didn’t talk to her for days. Later, my mother knew it and said to me, “No two people are the same. You should respect (尊重) each other. And no matter what happens, the difference doesn’t mean losing a good friend.” After listening to my mom’s words, I said sorry to Karina and we are still good friends now. 19. How does the writer start the passage? A. By telling a story. B. By asking a question. C. By listing some numbers. D. By showing some ways. 20. Karina thinks the shopping center could ________. A. Offer new jobs to people B. Save birds and other animals C. Give much money to some people D. Have places for children to have fun 21. How did the writer feel when Karina disagreed with her? A. Bored. B. Sorry. C. Happy. D. Angry. 22. What’s the main idea of the passage? A. We can ask our friends for help. B. Friends should be the same. C. Friends should respect each other. D. Good friends tell each other everything (D) Men and women often do things in different ways. Scientists are curious to know the reasons. Through some research (调查) on the human brain, they’ve discovered some interesting facts. Generally, women’s brains make them notice and remember details (细节) more easily. They are more likely to think back (回想) to the smell in a room, the sound of a song, or the little things they see during the day. For example, a woman might easily remember what her friend wore last week. However, men’s brains are more focused on the task at hand. A man will pay more attention to a single (单一的) job until it’s fully finished. He might work on fixing a car without being influenced by other things. These different thinking ways also influence (影响) how they view their lives. Women usually see all sides of their lives as connected. If they have a bad day at work, it might influence their mood (情绪) at home. However, men usually see each part of their lives, like work, hobbies, and family, as separate pieces. In a team, men and women contribute (贡献) differently. Women are more likely to share ideas and build good relationships among team members. Men, on the other hand, prefer to arrange tasks and make everyone work effectively (有效地). Although men and women have their differences, both ways of thinking are important. They help us solve different problems and answer all kinds of questions in life. 23. What does the underlined word “curious” mean in Paragraph 1? A. fun. B. happy. C. interested. D. glad. 24. A woman usually remembers ________. A. details B. men’s brains C. the task D. a job 25. If a man is unhappy at work, when he is at home, he will ________. A. think it over and over B. be unhappy C. forget it D. cry for a long time. 26. The writer wants to tell us that ________. A. Men are better than women. B. Men can help women. C. Women are better than men. D. They can help each other. （E） 阅读下列短文，依据文章的意思，把A、B、C、D四个选项所替代的句子放到合适的位置。 ____27____ The flower is really big. Its color is red.
