A篇Too many people want others to be their friends, but they don't give friendship back. That is why some friendships don't last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules：be honest；be generous（宽宏大量的）；be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven't been honest, you may lose your friend's trust. Good friends always rely on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You do not have to give your lunch money or your clothes. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them, you help your friend know better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend's place so that you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are exactly alike（相像）.But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.1. Some friendships don't last long because______________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersC. some people receive friendship but don't give friendship backD. they don't know friendship is something serious2. According to the passage, honesty is__________.A. something countableB. the base of friendshipC. as important as moneyD. more important than anything else3. The best title of this passage isA. How to Be a FriendB. Honesty Is the Best PolicyC. A Friend in Need Is a Friend IndeedD. Three Important Points in LifeB篇Every year, hundreds of hopeful students arrive in Washington, D. C. , in order to compete in the National Spelling Bee, which has been held every year since 1925.In the competition, students under 16 take turns trying to properly spell words. The championis the only remaining student who does not make a mistake. American students are familiar with the competition because it is practiced in many schools throughout the country. The National Spelling Bee, however, is a much bigger setting and showcases only the best spellers from all parts of the nation. Winning the competition nowadays requires the ability to perform under much pressure against so many talented students in front of a large audience. A student who wins the event in the twenty-first century will experience a much different challenge than the first winner, Frank Neuhauser，did in 1925 when he defeated（打败）only nine other competitors.Clearly, the 90 years of the National Spelling Bee's existence proves the importance of spelling in the English language. However, struggles with spelling English words go back much more than 90 years. The charming thing about spelling correctly in English is that it is in many ways without rules. English language can absorb new words from other languages and in doing so make them “English” words. Because of this, the number of words in English is much higher than any other languages. Thus, spelling in many other languages has fewer words and fewer strange exceptions to rules. It turns out that a spelling bee in most other languages would be a waste of time. Why is that? Well, without so many exceptions（例外）to common vocabulary, there would be very few words that everyone didn't already know.()4. How is today's competition different from the first National Spelling Bee?A. It produces more winners.B. It draws more talented audience.C. It attracts more competitors.D. It tests more strange words.()5. Why does the author mention “other languages” in Paragraph 3?A. To introduce the new rules of the competition.B.To gather students from other countries.C. To explain the difficulty in English spelling.D. To show the strict rules of written English.()6.What's the author's attitude toward holding spelling competitions in most other languages?A.Uncaring.B. B.Supportive.C.Responsible.D.Doubtful.()7. What does the text mainly talk about?A. Ways to win a Spelling Bee.B.The most difficult language.C. The best spellers.D. A competition about spelling.C篇When I met and married a Japanese man in New York, I thought he would learn a bit more English and we would continue to live our lives there. But in life's twists and turns, we ended up living in Tokyo! I was the one who needed to learn Japanese and fast! There is no experience quite as lonely as living in a foreign country without a grasp of the language. Especially to make friends and to break that loneliness, it is the first and foremost goal to attain...always an uphill climb, while totally awkward!I was a trained English Language teacher, and while I lived abroad I did that work, and whenwe moved back to America I planned to continue it. The country's financial difficulties at the time, however, saw deep cuts to the English as a second language in schools and to refugee language programs. So I simply took a job in a department store, at its Child Playroom.But this store was located near a major company that hired some of its workforce from many other countries. Often a preschooler in my playroom could not speak a word of English, and would look so lost and lonely! My heart flew to them! We interacted with each other a lot. We would play English language games and they would teach their language to me.Years later, when a small girl who had come from South America could speak good English, she said to me, “Teacher, remember when I called you Maestra?”Another child whose language was only Russian originally-we built a robot from blocks and fed it block food and learned English words that way-would come years afterwards and continue to play that same game! These moments became my life compass-due north is that place where when persons are different, Love Matters!8. What was the author's challenge after marriage?A. She had to give up her job.B. She lost all her best friends.C. She needed to learn a new language.D. She was forced to live overseas.9. Why did the author change her job after she returned home?A. She set up her own company.B. She lost interest in teaching.C. Better teachers were needed.D. Teaching jobs were greatly reduced.10. What would the author and the young children do in the playroom?A. They learned each other's languages.B. They took language tests.C. They cared for each other.D. They encouraged each other in learning.11. Which word can best describe the author's interactions with children?A. Tiring.B. Helpful.C. Simple.D. Humorous.D篇Local bamboo plantations in Europe have ensured that giant pandas in Belgium and the United Kingdom have been fed with enough fresh bamboo during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to zookeepers.Every week, there are about 1,000 kilograms of fresh bamboo delivered from a French bamboo plantation called La Bambouseraie to the Belgian zoo of Pairi Daiza where two giant pandas plus their three babies live.Mathieu Goedefroy,spokesman of the zoo, said “It is very important for us to be assured that we always and at every time are able to provide fresh bamboo of the highest quality for our dear pandas. That's why we decide to buy this growing house.”Since 1856, when a botanist Eugene Mazel began his first plantings by making species from all the world used to the plantation, La Bamhouseraie has developed into a park growing more than 240 varieties of bamboo now.Of the 1,000 kilograms of bamboo delivered to the zoo each week, only a small part is eatenby the pandas. The other animals can consume the rest of it so that none is wasted.The story is similar in the U.K.‘s Edinburgh Zoo, where the fresh bamboo has been shipped from the Netherlands. Jo Elliot, the animal collection manager at the zoo, said, “We have made sure that our stores have enough supplies. The pandas need their bamboo. Most of it gets shipped in from the Netherlands, and at the moment that is fine. We are still getting deliveries.”In early May, Canada's Calgary Zoo said it would have to send back two giant pandas to China, since fewer flights, as a result of COVID-19, were causing a lack of bamboo for the pandas. An adult giant panda eats about 35 kilograms of bamboo shoots, or kilograms of fresh bamboo and bamboo leaves daily. There was no locally grown bamboo in Calgary, so supplies of bamboo had relied on the shipments from China.“We have also contacted our workmates from Calgary, Canada,” Goedefroy said. “We'll see if we could be of any help for them with our bamboo supplies.”12. Where does Pairi Daiza get bamboo for their pandas?A. From a zoo in China.B. From a French plantation.C. From a zoo in Belgium.D. From a plantation in the Netherlands.13. What is the similarity between the Edinburgh Zoo and Pairi Daiza?A. They make full use of the bamboo.B. They have to return pandas to China.C. They have enough bamboo supplies.D. They got bamboo from the same place.14. What can be inferred about Calgary Zoo from the last two paragraphs?A. It could grow some bamboo soon.B. Pairi Daiza may send bamboo to it.C. It will give less bamboo to pandas.D. There will be no more pandas living in it.15. What is the best title for the text?A.COVID-19 Harmed Pandas' HealthB.COVID-19 Brought Chances to ZoosC. European Plantations Grew Bamboo WellD. European Zoos Kept Enough Supply of Bamboo第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

Most weeks, I’d greet Kevin as he set up gloves, mats, and other equipment. So I was shocked when I arrived one day to find him standing in front of the room telling a story, with tears streaming down his cheeks. I was worried something had gone terribly wrong in his life, but as I listened to him talk, I heard him use words like “amazing”and “accomplishment.”I realized his tears weren’t out of sorrow, but happiness. Just a few days earlier, he’d received his GED (General Equivalency Diploma), at the age of 52.Having dyslexia (阅读障碍), Kevin left school at a young age and then managed to support himself by taking odd jobs. In his mid-30s, Kevin finally landed an opportunity for a job with some promise: working for a sheriff’s department (治安部门). Amazingly, when he came clean with them about his education, they said they’d hire him as long as he got his GED．He agreed, optimistic about this new career potential, and kind of excited about giving school another chance.Kevin studied with a tutor (家庭教师), and he did it for more than a decade, learning and practicing and correcting his mistakes, every free moment he had, often late into the night. It was a huge challenge, something Kevin compares to“climbing a mountain.”In fact, as Kevin took tests along the way, he did something interesting with each of his results. He posted them on his bedroom wall so that he could watch his progress.“I needed to see myself moving forward, and I wanted to speak,”he said.Finally, he made it.“I can’t really describe what it’s like to finally achieve this,”he said.“I can hardly even put it into words. People are giving me graduation gifts! It’s a dream come true.”This might sound like a perfect ending. But for Kevin, it’s a new beginning. He’s on a roll, and his next step is college. “Now that I’ve accomplished my GED, I’m hungry for education,”he said.4．Why did Kevin cry in the classroom?A．He was worried about his future.B．He had reached one of his goals.C．He was moved by a touching story.D．He had experienced something terrible.5．What was the response of the sheriff’s department when they learned of Kevin’s education?A．They recommended a part-time job to him.B．They assessed his suitability for the job.C．They refused him directly.D．They gave him hope.6．How did Kevin encourage himself to keep going to get his GED?A．By taking time to do things that interest him.B．By reporting his test results to his tutor.C．By writing himself encouraging words.D．By reminding himself of his progress.7．What can we learn from Kevin’s story?A．Where there’s a will, there’s a way.B．The early bird catches the worm.C．Practice makes perfect.D．Grasp all, lose all.Women usually live longer than men, but they also get sick more often. New research from the University of Georgia shows that eating a good diet with lots of colorful fruits and vegetables can help women stay healthier. These foods have something called carotenoids (类胡萝卜素), which are good for our eyes and brains.The study looked at many past studies and found that women get more health problems than men. These problems include diseases where the body fights itself and memory loss. Women are more likely to get these diseases because of their biology. “Women have more body fat than men, which is good for having babies, but it also means they need to eat more healthy things to stay well,” said Hammond, a researcher.Why are women more vulnerable (脆弱的) to health problems? One reason is how they store vitamins (维生素) and minerals. Women’s bodies keep more fat, and fat can hold these important nutrients (营养物). This is helpful when they are having babies, but it also means there might not be enough for their eyes and brains.Eating foods with carotenoids is important because they help protect our bodies from damage. Some carotenoids are found in parts of our eyes and brains and can help with problems in the nervous system. “Both men and women eat these foods, but women need more because their bodies use them up faster,” said Hammond.The food we eat can affect our brains and how we feel. It can even change our feelings and how likely we are to get angry. Now, scientists are learning that the food we eat also affects the bacteria (细菌) in our stomachs, which are important to our health too.8．What does the study suggest about carotenoids?A．They are only beneficial to men.B．They are not necessary for a healthy diet.C．They are good for women’s eyes and brains.D．They have no effect on the central nervous system.9．What is one of the reasons women may need a better diet?A．Women need less food than men.B．Women’s diets are short of carbohydrates.C．Women need more vitamins to support their body fat.D．Women have a higher risk of developing health problems.10．What is the connection between diet and the bacteria in our stomachs?A．Certain bacteria can only be found in women’s stomachs.B．The bacteria in our stomachs have nothing to do with our health.C．The bacteria in our stomachs determine our food preferences.D．The food we eat affects the bacteria in our stomachs.11．What is the best title for the text?A．Why do women live longer than men?B．Why do women lose more memory?C．Women may have a higher risk of mental illnessD．Diets with more carotenoids can help women stay healthierDeepfake technology, which uses AI and machine learning and can change videos and photographs in a way that appears realistic, has frequently been covered in a negative light. Thetechnology can be used to violate (侵犯) privacy and create fake videos. While these potential abuses of the technology are real and concerning, it doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the technology’s potential.Jaime Donally, a math teacher and technologist, has written about how a type of deepfake technology called Deep Nostalgia that went viral in 2021 can allow students to form a stronger connection with the past. She never met her grandfather in her real life. Using deepfake technology she was able to make one of the few photos that exist of her grandfather come to life, which was moving for her. “It just gave this deeper connection,” she says.Teachers have used the deepfake technology to bring historical figures such as Albert Einstein to life. One teacher Donally has “communicated” with Frederick Douglass to help students connect with Douglass’ famous 1852 speech about the meaning of the Fourth of July to Black enslaved Americans. Another teacher has plans to use the technology to have students interview a historical figure and create dialogue for them. “It makes them want to learn more,” Donally says of using deepfake technology.” It drives them into kind of the history and understanding a bit more, and I think it also helps them identify who they are in that process.”As much potential as deep fake technology has, there are still important privacy concerns educators need to weigh and evaluate. It’s important to check the legality (合法性) of data collection of facial structure, features, and expressions, and how that information is stored or shared. Teachers should help their students learn to navigate this new technology that will likely be a part of society going forward.12．What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Deepfake has aroused much interest in public.B．Deepfake can produce more realistic photos.C．The benefits of deepfake shouldn’t be ignored.D．More and more fake videos created by deepfake.13．What does “went viral” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to ?A．Became unpopular.B．Spread fast.C．Was ignored.D．Remained fresh.14．What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about?A．Reasons for popularity of deepfake technology.B．Application of deepfake technology in education.C．Expectation for deepfake technology in society.D．The wide use of deepfake technology in classrooms.15．What is the authors’ attitude towards the uses of deepfake?A．Objective.B．Disapproving.C．Unclear.D．Favourable.How To Fight Back-To-School AnxietyAugust is the time to prepare for a new school year. 16 These simple tips can help you or someone you love deal with the year ahead.17 Like any new activity, a new school year is always easier when you’re prepared for it. Get your class schedule in advance so you know exactly what to expect that first day. Make sure you’re prepared with all the supplies you’ll need. If you’ll be attending a new school, get familiar with the campus in advance of the first week.Talk about it. Change is never easy, and can often be scary.

During the day, she knocked at the doors of record companies with her demo tape(样带).For three years, she was met with nothing but rejections(拒绝) from record companies. These record companies were fond of her voice but they said that she was too feminine(女性的)for the style of music she performed. Then, on Halloween night 1977, Benatar gave a performance dressed as a modern vampire(吸血鬼). The audience went wild. This experience led Benatar to change her looks. In her later performances, she usually wore black tights and a short black top.The new style made her performances more popular, and gave her a chance to work for Chrysalis Records. Her first single, Heartbreaker, headed the Top 40 charts, as did several of her other songs. Benatar won four Grammy Awards for Best Rock Vocal performance, from 1980 to 1983.

There' s something nice about doormats.They're cheap, simple and useful. The nicest ones have "Welcome"written on them, but any old doormat is better than none. Unfortunately, that's not what the Bristol City Council(布里斯托市议会) in southwest England think, as they banned(禁止)them. Why?In a letter sent to 32,000 apartments, the council said that" ...doormats would be a tripping hazard (能绊倒人的危险物) and should be removed immediately...please do not leave them outside,creating a risk for others”The letter went on to say that all doormats had to be removed by 18th September.”Any mat remaining after this date will be removed and throw away,”the letter continued.But the locals like their mats.Roger Perry,62,is refusing to follow the council’s orders.“The council says mats are a hazard. God knows how. I've lived here for 13 years and have never heard of accidents.I know they have rules,but this is going a bit far...it’s only you and the postman who walk on the mats anyway.I'm keeping mine here to see what they do.

Crowds lined the streets, cheering and waving. Fry rode west for 90 miles at full speed. He then passed a leather bag full of letters to another rider. Eventually a chain of riders carried the letters across nearly 2,000 miles of wilderness, and the Pony Express was born.Between California and the rest of the U.S. lay a vast wilderness. Mail service was slow and often delayed. As war among the states seemed likely, people wanted news more quickly.In December 1859, William Russell, owner of a transport company, decided to meet that need. He and partners William Waddell and Alexander Majors worked constantly for months. They selected a route from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California. Then they purchased 400 horses, hired workers and set up relay stations （导站）every 10 to 15 miles. Riders would change horses at these stations, and every 90 to 120 miles a new rider would take over.Shortly before Jonny Fry set out, another Pony Express rider set off from Sacramento for St. Joseph. These first deliveries reached their destinations in close to the 10 days Russell had promised.But the route was far from safe. On April 18, 1860, a rider’s horse stumbled （绊倒）and fell on the rider, killing him. Riders faced rivers, mountains, extreme temperatures-and very unfriendly natives.In May 1860,tensions between the settlers and Native Americans turned into fighting. Native Americans attacked several Pony Express stations, forcing some of them to close temporarily.Despite the risks, the Pony Express lost only one delivery during its one and a half years in operation. And when Abraham Lincoln was elected president, the Pony Express carried the news to California in only five days. It also spread news of the beginning of America's Civil War.The Pony Express service ended in October 1861 after a telegraph line across the U.S. was completed.Yet the riders' courage and accomplishments still hold a place in legend（传奇）.56. The passage is mainly about the _____ of the Pony Express.A. functionB.influenceC. historyD. operation57. To _____, William Russell decided to set up the Pony Express.A. shorten the time of sending mailB. deliver mail farther and more safelyC. meet people's different needsD. help people keep in contact in war58. What might Russell have promised about the first deliveries?A. To make the destinations closer.B. To make the deliveries within 10 days.C. To ensure the deliveries with two riders.D. To complete the deliveries before the war.59. What can be learned from the passage?A. The Pony Express had an insignificant position in the development of mail service.B. The fighting between the settlers and Native Americans ended the Pony Express.C. The Pony Express became successful as a result of the dangers on the route.D. The Pony Express not only delivered mail but spread news as well.（B）Please Choose Cloud ServicesFinding the Cloud service can be difficult as there are so many available.Consumers need to consider and compare each service’s features, storage possibilities, free space and best price. You may be unsure, or you do not know where to begin. Trying every Cloud service would take a lot of time and work. But, the website might help.CloudDrop-box Google-Drive One-DriveBoxBest For LightweightUsersTeams AndCollaborationDevotedWindowsUsersEnterpriseSolutionsFree Storage Space2GB15GB15GB10GBCheapest PremiumOption1TB100GB100GB100GB One valuable feature is the protection of digital files, including photos, videos, documents, music and more. If the worst happens and your computer crashes, or gets lost or damaged, your files can still be found in the Cloud.Cloud services let you access your files from almost anywhere. No need to worry about a file stored on your computer when you are away from your desk. If you have an Internet connection, you can open your files from any computer, or from a phone, when they are stored using a Cloud service.Using a Cloud service makes sharing files easier. If you send documents to a group using emails, you may then wonder which version everyone is working with. When sharing files using a Cloud service, everyone will see the same document and the latest version.The first thing to consider is the amount of storage space you need. Check how much space you are currently using on your computer and mobile devices. If your computer or phone is filled with photos and you have little free space, you may want to move your photos to the Cloud. Some Cloud services are free. But, if you need a lot of space, you will probably need one that costs money.Even if everyone you have ever met is a Windows user, you still probably want a Cloud service that works with many platforms. You might become friends with anAndroid user or start a job with a company that computes on Apple!60. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Google-Drive users can obtain 100GB for free.B. Most Cloud services can send files to both the Cloud and the local computer.C. It's hard to transfer your file when you turn on the computer if it is stored in the Cloud.D. Never worry about finding your files in the Clouds if the computer system crashes.61. What will you have to do if you need more space to store more files in the Cloud?A. To use your own Cloud services.B. To share Cloud space with others.C. To spend money buying space.D. To buy the latest version of the service.62. How can consumers find the Cloud service that suits them best?A. By learning more information about the space occupied by files.B. By comparing Cloud’s function, storage, available space and prices.C. By sending files to a group of people via e-mail inquiring about the Cloud service.D.By making friends with Android users who use Apple computers.（C）Every day, Lucy Dong and her best friend Amy Zhu wake at 7 a.m. -- 7.10 a.m.If they are lucky---rush through their breakfast of steamed buns and noodles, and head off to what may be the best schooling system in the world.The 10-year-olds, who are natives of Shanghai, study in 35-minute bursts from around 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a small break for lunch -- and a class meeting --- sandwiched in the middle.Outside school hours, the girls' lives are lots of extra-curricular activities: English class, flute class, drumming class, handwriting class, calligraphy class, Taekwondo training, modelling lessons and choir practice.Shanghai was crowned --- for the second time …the champion of the Programme for International Student Assessment （PISA., which compares the maths, reading and science skills of some 510,000 secondary school students around the world）.Some experts question the value of comparing cities and countries. Others point out that Shanghais relatively well-funded schools and well-paid teachers are not representative of the Chinese education system as a whole.Even so, the latest results are likely to see more and more educators flock east in search of the mega-city's magic formula.Professor Kong Lingshuai of the College of Education at Shanghai Normal University has studied the city'sPISA successes. He says that the secret is a mix of "traditional elements and modern elements". The former is related to the high expectations of "tiger" parents, and a belief in Chinese children from a young age that effort is crucial to gaining a good education. The "modern elements" include Shanghai's willingness to constantly adapt its curriculum and teaching practices; its focus on improving under-achieving schools by pairing them with those that excel; its openness to foreign ideas; and the introduction of performance-related pay.An obsession with training has also been the key, says Prof. Kong. As of last year, new teachers have to undergo a standardized, one-year training course before starting in the classroom. Once qualified, they are required to complete at least 240 hours' training in their first five years, including online learning, paper reading, essay writing and so on. Teachers are also encouraged to attend each other's classes to promote a culture of "idea sharing, exchanging and positive competition".Outsiders often dismiss China's education system as a pressure-cooker-style craze of exams that places too much emphasis on rote-learning and does little to stimulate creativity. But in Shanghai at least, that may be starting to change. Authorities are attempting to move away from testing that relies too heavily on memorizing facts and figures, and some schools are also giving students more time to play, rather than just study.63. The author mentions Lucy Dong and Amy Zhu in the first 3 paragraphs to ________.A. praise the industriousness of these two girlsB. give readers the whole picture of Chinese educationC. illustrate what education in Shanghai looks likeD. criticize the burden the education brings on them64. Why do some experts challenge the result that Shanghai ranked 1st in PISA test?A. Because the value of PISA, which only tests 510,000 students globally, is cast doubt on.B.Because Shanghai has drawn more attention and resources from the central government.C. Because only maths, reading and science skills are compared in PISA test, which is not enough.D. Because Shanghai has a better system of financial support for schools as well as for teachers.65. Which of the following is closest in meaning to "dismiss"in the last paragraph?A. To consider something inferior.B. To stop thinking about something.C. To give the credit for something.D. To claim the features of something.66. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Strict parents contribute little to the academic success of their children.B. Students have more free time to spend on their interest across China.C. Many education researchers are getting to Shanghai to study the phenomenon.D. Under-achieving schools are usually substituted by those academically superior schools.（D）A. Holidays are when my family gathers and has a good time together,B. School education has civilized me with a mind for peace and calm.C. My parents raised me with a lot of beliefs that have had an effect on who I am today.D. Summer is the time when we always organize some special events as a big family.E. However, I know that it is important to follow the golden rule and to treat others with dignity and respect.F. We take care of each other and try to treat others with respect.What Makes Me "Me"?My culture comes from where I am from and where I was raised. I am an American.I was born and raised in Alaska. My ethnic background is German, English, and Scottish. Culture is all about family. It is a family's belief systems, the cultural traditions that are celebrated, and the special holidays and events that occur in the year._____67_____These are the beliefs that don't just belong to my culture, but they come straight from the values of my family. I believe that women are more intelligent than men because my mother is a strong woman. I was raised to believe that through hard work I could become successful and have a good life. I strive to do this every day and to be good at my life and my jobs. I'm not really religious. _____ 68_____ I believe that if you are a good person to others you will be rewarded for it in many ways.There are a lot of cultural traditions that my family has. Some are from my cultural background and some are from the place where I was raised. I raise my son to have manners and to be well behaved. I raise him to know that hard work is important and that he is expected to put his best effort into things._____69_____We gather every summer in Haines so that all the cousins can grow up together. Birthdays were always important events while growing up. My mom was excited to celebrate every holiday. Trick or treating on Halloween, hiding baskets on Easter, passing out cards to classmates on Valentine's Day, wearing green on St. Patrick's Day, and of course loads of presents under the tree on Christmas morning. My parents always made holidays a big deal so now my son also gets to be excited for them every year.My culture makes me a person that celebrates life. My family has a lot of good friends and we are usually a good part of the community. ______70____ We like to go outdoors and have adventures. My belief systems, cultural traditions, and special events have made me a happy person who is fun to be around and who can have a positive impact on others.Keys31-35 JAFKE36-40 GCBHICloze41-45 ACDCB46-50 ADBDA 51-55 ACBDAReadingA:56-59 CABD B:60-62 DCB C:63-66 CDAC D:67-70 CEAF。

In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket. Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones according to a survey (调查). Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it’s not really necessary and they’re keeping it as a security blanket — 19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies. I think my home falls into that category.More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone. Age is naturally a factor (因素)— only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who’ve perhaps had the same home number for 50 years. Age isn’t the only factor; I’d say it’s also to do with the makeup of your household.Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member. That said, to behonest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).How attached are you to your landline? How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries?4．What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones?A．Their target users.B．Their wide popularity.C．Their major functions.D．Their complex design.5．What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Admit.B．Argue.C．Remember.D．Remark.6．What can we say about Baby Boomers?A．They like smartphone games.B．They enjoy guessing callers’ identity.C．They keep using landline phones.D．They are attached to their family.7．What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph?A．It remains a family necessity.B．It will fall out of use some day.C．It may increase daily expenses.D．It is as important as the gas light.As you grow rapidly through your teenage years, you will experience a lot of changes. The changes may seem difficult and they may seem to happen quickly. Don’t panic! You will deal successfully with them! You are a young adult now!With more responsibility, you will find more freedom to make your own choices. This is a time to be well informed about your choices so that you can make healthy balanced decisions that will help shape your future. You may already know your career path or you may have no idea at all what you want to do. Both situations are fine! Work hard and the right opportunity will present itself to you.Young adulthood means greater freedom and more choices. You will probably want to be independent. But try not to shut your family out of your life. You should learn to think of otherseven though you are old enough to look after yourself. Your family have been with you since you came into this world.It is also perfectly natural in this time for you to spend more time with your friends than your family. Choose your friends wisely. A true friend will stand by you no matter what happens.This period is part of the life cycle. There are some people who will be with you throughout life’s journey and there will be some people with whom you part and go separate ways. Leaving school can be hard. The reality is that you may not ever see all of your classmates again.You are a young adult. It is your life. No one can live it for you. The choices that you make from now on will be your choices. So making the right choices will be important to you. Life is for living. Enjoy your life wisely!8．The best title for this passage would be ________.A．The Choices in Life B．The Key to SuccessC．Say Goodbye to the Past D．Becoming a Young Adult9．Who do the underlined words “some people” (Paragraph 5) probably mean?A．your parents.B．your deskmates.C．true friends.D．your relatives.10．The author thinks teenage years are ________.A．a period of complete freedomB．too hard for young people to get throughC．an important time for the young to make the right choicesD．a very important period for young students to leave their parents11．Who is the passage mainly written for?A．Teenagers.B．Teachers.C．Young parents.D．Adults.Can dogs and cats live in peace in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new way for success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Twothirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while attacking and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals attack, while a dog doing the same signals admitting defeat.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behaviour. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than was previously thought. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The advantage of this research on cats and dogs may not only about pets — to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers.

AOnce Napoleon(拿破仑)stayed in a small inn(酒馆).The next morning,he went to thank the innkeeper.“You have served me well,innkeeper,”said Napoleon.“I wish to pay back.Tell me what you want.”“Sir,we want nothing,”said the innkeeper.“But will you tell us something?”“What is it?”Napoleon asked.”said the innkeeper,“that once during the war,a small village was taken by the “We have heard a story,Russians.You happened to be in the village.You hid while they looked for you.Will you tell us how you felt when they were looking for you?”Napoleon looked very angry.He called in two of his soldiers.Then he pointed to the door.The soldiers took the innkeeper and his wife out into the yard.At the end of the yard was a wall.The innkeeper and’his wife were led to the wall.The soldiers tied(捆绑) the hands of the innkeeper and his wife.Napoleon watched,saying nothing.“Please,sir,”begged the innkeeper,“Don’t kill us!We meant nothing!”The soldiers moved back.The innkeeper saw them raising their guns.Then Napoleon called:“Ready!Aim!”The wife screamed.“Stop!”said Napoleon.He went to the innkeeper,“Now,you know the answer to the question you asked me just now,don’t you?”1.Why did the innkeeper ask Napoleon how Napoleon felt when he was being looked for?A.He wanted to know the difference between a general(将军)and an ordinary people.B.He looked down upon(瞧不起)Napoleon,for he thought a great man shouldn’t be defeated.C.He showed his sympathy(同情)to Napoleon in time of danger.D.He was interested in other’s failure,especially Napoleon’s.2.Why did Napoleon ordered his men to tie the couple?A.Because he wanted to teach the innkeeper a good lesson for bothering him.B.Because he wanted to kill the couple to get rid of his anger.C.Because he wanted to show he was so great a general that nobody could upset him.D.Because he wanted to show a general had the same feeling as the ordinary man in face of danger.3.Which is the best title of the text?A.Napoleon’s TrickB.Napoleon and an InnkeeperC.Napoleon’s AngerD.Napoleon’s WarBIn October2002,Winston Churchill(丘吉尔)was chosen by the British people as“the greatest British man”. The great British men behind him were Shakespeare,Newton,and Darwin.But many people did not know that Churchill was thought to be a bad boy when he was a child.At the age of seven,Winston Churchill was sent to a boarding(寄宿)school named St.George.The school rules were strict.He often got serious punishment.Churchill cried loudly and kicked wildly when he was beaten.At the end of the term,he returned home with a report card and pains all over his body.The report card said that he was‘naughty”(顽皮的).At the age of twelve,his father sent him to Harrow Public School,which was famous for training English gentlemen.Because he failed the entrance exam,he was placed in the last group of the class with worst grades.He fell behind the others in study.He gave many people the impression of low energy,strangeness,and lawlessness. Fortunately,he still had a friend,his grandfather.He said,“Let him go!If boys have the chance to show their talents,they are sure to become better.”Churchill kept the words of his grandfather in mind,and secretly looked for it in his heart.Many years later,Churchill was already a successful politician and writer.He worked as a reporter,as Secretary of the Navy,and as Prime Minister(首相)of the United Kingdom.He said,“My grandfather taught me that boys must choose their own path.I don’t have special talents and my success is by working hard.”4.The second paragraph mainly tells us______________.A.Churchill loved his schoolB.Churchill got good educationC.Churchill got less punishmentD.Churchill was once considered as a bad boy5.Churchill’s grandfather was_____________.A.a gentleman tom FranceB.of great help to ChurchillC.rich with little experienceD.unsure of Churchill’s becoming better6.Which of the following is the correct order according to the passage?①Churchill became a successful politician and writer.②Churchill went to Harrow Public School.③Churchill was sent to a boarding school.④Churchill’s grandfather encouraged him a lot.A.③④②①B.③②④①C.①③②④D.②③④①7.Which part of a magazine is the passage probably from?A.Geography World.B.Science Study.C.History Character.D.Natural Environment.CPeople are always trying to live a healthy life.You might have read so much on this topic.The following ideas may sound strange,but they can really help you.Exercise when you are tired.After a long and tiring day of study,exercising might not sound like a good idea,but it should.In fact, physical activities can provide you with the missing energy.Research shows that exercising for just30minutes can make you feel good!Write by hand to help the brain be active.Although writing something using a computer is faster,it is much better to remember the whole thing by writing it down by hand.When you read a handwritten text,naturally it’s easier for your brains to remember the information.Spare more time for yourself.By sparing the time for yourself just being alone for a while,you can have a chance to think and get to know yourself better.And you won’t behave impulsively(冲动地).Drink hot drinks on a hot day.What cools more on a hot summer morning,cold water or hot water?The study shows that the hot water does make people feel cooler.When you are drinking something hot,the body will feel the change in temperature and increase the perspiration(流汗),which helps you cool down!8.It’s the best way to________if we want to remember a long passage.A.read it again and againB.read it aloudC.write it using a computerD.write it down by hand9.The third idea is mainly about________.A.the good points of being aloneB.the importance of thinkingC.the good points of behaving wellD.the importance of keeping healthy10.Why do we drink hot water on a hot day?C.Because it makes our bodies strong.D.Because it takes heat away from our bodies.11.The writer of the passage wants to tell us that_________.A.handwriting makes us smartB.sometimes unusual ideas about health are helpfulC.being alone helps us know our friends betterD.hot drinks can make us uncomfortableDSometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents.They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV.In their opinion,“I love you”is too luxurious(奢侈的)for them to say.Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question.And my father has a bad temper(脾气).One day,my mother was sewing a quilt(被子).I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.“Is there love between you and Dad?”I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her head with surprise in her eyes.She didn’t answer immediately.I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her.But at last I heard my mother say the following words.“Lily,”she said,“look at this thread(线).Sometimes it appears,but most of it disappears in the quilt.The thread really makes the quilt strong and durable(耐用的).If life is a quilt,then love should be a thread.It can hardly be seen anywhere or anytime,but it’s really there.Love is inside.”I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring.At that time,my father suddenly got sick seriously.My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month.When they returned from the hospital, they both looked very pale.After they were back,every day in the morning and dusk(黄昏),my mother helped my father walk slowly on the country road.My father had never been so gentle.It seemed that it was their most harmonious(和谐的)period. The sun gently glistened(闪耀)among the leaves.All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.The doctor had said my father would recover(恢复)in two months.But after two months he still couldn’t walk by himself.All of us were worried about him.“Dad,how are you feeling now?”I asked him one day.“Lily,don’t worry about me,”he said gently.“To tell you the truth,I just like walking with your mum.”Reading his eyes,I know he loves my mother deeply.Once I thought love meant flowers,gifts and sweet kisses.But from this experience,I understand that love isjust a thread in the quilt of our life.Love is inside,making life strong and warm.12.Why does Lily sometimes doubt that there is no real love between her parents?A.Because they are very busy earning money.B.Because they don’t have enough money for love.C.Because her father is easy to lose his temper to her mother.D.Because she doesn’t see the thread in the quilt.13.Which of the following is similar to the underlined phrase“out of the question”in Paragraph1?A.Possible.B.Impossible.C.Necessary.D.Unnecessary.14.What made her father change so greatly?A.The quilt story from her mother.B.One-month stay in the hospital.C.The beautiful scenery of the country road.D.The sickness her father suddenly got.15.What’s the main idea of the passage?A.We should understand our parents however old they are.B.Love is hidden in the life,but it really influences our life.C.We really need love because it makes our life harmonious.D.Love is so important to everyone that we must love everyone.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读短文,从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

But there are other stars, other suns, not only thousands of them, but millions of them. Do different stars have planets? We can see the planets round our own sun. but we haven ’ t been anymore. The stars are too far away from us. Stars give out light, but the planets don ’ t have any light of their own. So we cane them. They’aretsetoo far, and too dark. Still, we can tell that some stars have planets. While a big planet goes round, it pulls its star to one side. And sometimes we can see this. Then we know that the star has a planet. For example, Barnard ’Stars is a small red star. And it is the quickest star in the universe. But sometimes it moves slower, and then quicker again. We have known Bernard ’ s Star for many years, and now we are sure it has a planet.1. A star is a large body in the universe.

Do not bent over, from your waist ( 腰 ) keep your back and hips (臀部 ) and waist in a line. If you bent over, the muscles in your lowerback can became hurt very easily. If you keep your back and hips straight, the muscles are stronger, because they hold up together. The other muscles can then help the lower back muscles.As you lower yourself, try to get as close to thing as you can, put one knee oneach side of the thing. Remember at all times to keep your back straight. Put your hand under the thing that is in front of you, between y our knees.To lift the thing, you should stand up slowly.

The programme at the end of Channel 2 means _______ on TV next week.A. newsB. programmesC. peopleD. placesDThe world is not only hungry, but it is also thirsty for water. This may seem strange to you, since nearly 70% of the earth's surface is covered with water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Man can only drink and use the other 3%—— the fresh water from rivers, lakes, underground, and other sources. And we can not even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been made dirty.However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still enough for us. But ourneed for water is becoming larger and larger quickly —— almost day by day. We should take steps to do with this problem now and in this way we can get away from a serious world wide water shortage (缺少 ) later on.We all have to learn how to stop wasting our valuable water. One of the first steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most l arge cities, water is used only once and then sent out into a sewer system(下水道 ). From there it returns to sea or runs into underground places.But even if every large city reused its water, we still would not have enough. All we'd have to do to make use of sea water in the world is to remove the salt. If we take these steps we'll be in no danger of drying up.16.The world is thirsty for water because.A. man hasn't got enough food to eatB. we haven't got enough fresh waterC. only 70% of the earth's surface is waterD. more water is sent into sewer systems17.The underlined word valuable means.A. much and saltyB.fresh and enoughC. dear and usefulD. clean and helpful18.What should we do if we want to have enough fresh water?(a)Make full use of the sea water.(b)Carry salt water into lakes or rivers.(c)Try to save the fresh water as much as possible.(d)Do our best to use the water again.(e)Drink and use all the water on the earth's surface.A.(c)and(e)B.(a)and(d)C.(a),(c)and(d)D.(b),(d)and(e)19.The best but the most difficult way to solve (解决 ) the water problem of theworld is to.A. remove the salt from sea waterB.make the water in cities cleanC. take water from undergroundD.make the need for water smaller20.What's the best title (标题 ) for this passage?A. The Importance of the WaterB. The World's Water ProblemC. The Thirsty WorldD.

吉林省吉林市第一中学2024-2025学年高一上学期第一次月考英语试题

吉林省吉林市第一中学2024-2025学年高一上学期第一次月考英语试题一、阅读理解The following are four once-in-a-lifetime mountain hikes.The Inca Trail, PeruThe Inca Trail offers a seven-day hike focusing on unique Peruvian culture. Led by our well-informed guides, you'll see some historical villages, visit an old-fashioned coffee farm, and attend a traditional offering to "Pachamama". After a long day on your feet, relax with a traditional Peruvian meal and have a night's rest in a local cottage（村舍）The Dolomites, ItalyThe On Foot Holidays' self-guided hike through the Dolomites covers the grassland of South Tyrol, the famous peaks of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and the amazing town of Cortina d'Ampezzo. You'll climb from the Falzarego Pass, cross through to the Col dei Bos and up Mt. Lagazuoi, with its network of World War I tunnels.Mount Kilimanjaro, TanzaniaMore than 19,000 feet above sea level, Mount Kilimanjaro, an inactive volcano, is Africa's highest mountain. Climbing it is a multi-day trip through five climate zones. Duma Explorer offers several different routes（路线）up Kilimanjaro—the most popular are the seven-day Machame route, eight-day Lemosho route and a nine-day trip via the Northern Circuit. Hikes include camping equipment, meals and guides.Chilkoot Trail, AlaskaIn 1897, the Chilkoot Trail was changed from a sleepy trade route into a busy road, as part of the Gold Rush. The rush dried up within a year, but you can follow in the boomers' footsteps with Alaska Shore Hikes, through thick forest and up the Sainly Hill. Then it's a peaceful raft（木筏）ride along the Taiya River. A six-hour hike provides tourists with transportation, safety equipment and guides.1．Which of the following is suitable for hikers without guides?A．The Inca Trail, Peru B．The Dolomites, Italy.C．Chilkoot Trail. Alaska D．Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.2．What can we know from the text?A．Chilkoot Trail used to be a busy road.B．Hikers will cover five climates zones in the Inca Trail.C．It just takes six hours to finish the Chilkoot Trail route.D．Hikers can visit an old-fashioned coffee farm in Mount Kilimanjaro.3．From which is the text probably taken from?A．An encyclopedia.B．A geography book C．A science report.D．A travel brochure.Rollins College’s graduate, Elizabeth Bonker gave a powerful speech at the school’s graduation ceremony using text-to-speech technology. “You have a voice. Use it,” she advised graduates. It seems funny that a non-speaking autistic (孤独症患者) encourages you to use your voice. However, her moving speech touched not only her fellow classmates but also the worldwide audience with a powerful message of hope.Throughout her academic career, Elizabeth has studied hard to reach her goals at school and in life. She wrote a book, I Am in Here, which highlights the abilities of people like her with non-speaking autism. She also founded a non-profit organization called Communication 4 All.Elizabeth has a form of autism that resulted in her losing the ability to speak when she was 15 months old. After she lost her speech her family helped her learn to communicate by typing. She has become a supporter of assistive communication and typing instruction for those with non-speaking autism.“I have typed this speech with one finger with a communication partner holding a keyboard,” shared Elizabeth. She gave her persuasive speech through text-to-speech technology.Elizabeth majored in social service with the purpose of helping the 31 million people in the world who have non-speaking autism. She strongly believes that service to others gives meaning to each individual and to those they serve.Throughout her life, Elizabeth has sought a platform where others would hear and accept her. She ignored negative comments and the low expectations others had for her life. Instead, she walked down her own path and set out to realize her dreams using intellect, talent anddetermination. She encouraged her fellow classmates to use their education and the power of their own minds to help make their dream a reality.4．What effect does Elizabeth’s speech have on the audience?A．It brings them hope.B．It inspires them to use technology.C．It informs them of more about autism.D．It encourages them to make speeches.5．What did Elizabeth’s family do after she was unable to speak?A．They tried their best to teach her how to speak.B．They started a non-profit organization for her.C．They helped her find another way of communication.D．They created the text-to-speech technology to help her.6．Why did Elizabeth choose social service as her major?A．To develop her potential and strengths.B．To get better employment opportunities.C．To make her childhood dream come true.D．To help more people like her in the world.7．Which words can be used to describe Elizabeth?A．Positive and creative.B．Strong-minded and helpful.C．Energetic and humorous.D．Kind-hearted and imaginative.A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It does matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves -- the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self- talk” helps us motivate(激励)ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware(意识到), though, that as much as 77% of self- talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back: The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk(店员)will probably answer in a similar manner. Or harsh(刻薄的)and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words have power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say does not pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self- esteem(自尊)and motivate others to do their best. Negative words des troy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.8．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A．Not sticks and stones but words will hurt us.B．Encouraging words give us confidence.C．Negative words may let us down.D．Words have a great effect on us.9．Why is there no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves?A．Because almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves.B．Because talking to ourselves can have positive effect on us.C．Because talking to ourselves always gives us courage.D．Because it does no harm to have “self- talk” when we are alone.10．The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely to________ A．praise ourselves B．remind ourselvesC．make ourselves relaxed D．give ourselves happiness11．What view would the author probably hold?A．Encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers.B．Negative words may encourage us to make more progress.C．People tend to remember friendly words.D．It is better to think twice before talking to others.Parents and kids today dress alike, listen to the same music, and are friends. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music together and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.“I would never have said to my mom, ‘Hey, the new Weezer album is really great. How do you like it?” says Ballmer. “There was just a complete gap in taste.”Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities and expectations, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits. (轨迹) Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. And parent-child activities, from shopping to sports, involve (包含) a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, “To my mother, my best friend.”But family experts warn that the new equality (平等) can also result in less respect for parents. “There’s still a lot strictness and authority (权威) on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening,” says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College, “In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents.”Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these changing roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic (民主) process that encourages everyone to have a say.“My parents were on the ‘before’ side of that change, but today’s parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the ‘after’ side,” explains Mr. Ballmer. “It’s not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests doesmake it more fun to be a parent now.”12．The underlined word “gulf” in Para. 3 most probably means _________.A．interest B．problem C．difference D．separation 13．Which of the following show that the generation gap is disappearing?A．Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.B．Parents put more trust in their children’s abilities.C．Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.D．Parents share more interests with their children.14．What is the change in today’s parent-child relationship?A．More confusion among parentsB．New equality between parents and childrenC．Less respect for parents from childrenD．More strictness and authority on the part of parents15．The purpose of the passage is to _________.A．describe the difficulties today’s parents have met withB．discuss the change of the parent-child relationshipC．suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationshipD．stress the importance of parent-child relationshipReasons Why Running Is the Easiest ExerciseSome people think that running is hard. I once thought that too. 16 Here’s why it is such an easy activity to start and stick to.★It can be as easy or hard as you want.Many people start running by going out and running as fast as they can for as long as they can. That is not so fun. 17 But easing into it is a different story. Start slowly and cover a short distance. Then gradually work your way up to it. In this way, running can be pain-free and actually wonderful.★ 18Classes at the gym are great but they always end up never working for me. With a busy life, I find it hard to take a class. On the other hand, with running, you just need to find the timewhenever you can, here and there, and change it around.★The gear (设备) is simple.19 However, that’s really just about all you need. Expensive sport-specific clothes are available(可用的) but not required. If you fall in love with running, you may think you need some seasonal running clothes. Even so, that will be cheaper than bike gear.★You can do it anywhere.You can run in the city. You can run in the country. You can run on a track, in a park, on the street or even on the beach. You can run at home. You can run when you travel. And in fact, running around new cities when you’re traveling is great fun. 20A．You can do it on your own schedule.B．Choose some training classes at the gym.C．It is important to have proper running shoes.D．It might make you hurt or even cause injuries.E．That is a wonderful way to get to know a place.F．Starting at a running track is a great way to begin.G．But if you work out properly, it is easy and wonderful.二、完形填空Older citizens join China’s digital ageDigital technology has made life easier for most people.
