I turned around and found a little lady with a warm smile. I said heartily:” Of course﹗”“Why are you in college at such an age?” I asked.She joked, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around.”“No seriously,” I asked.“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’ getting one!” she told me.Over the year, Rose became an icon(偶像) and she easily made friends. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention of the others. At the end of the term we invited Rose to ou r football party. I’llnever forget what she said.“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to stay young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die! There's a huge difference between growing old and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn't take any talent or ability.

With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide explains how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. “My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use new techn ology.” He said.Zhang’s experience is common nowadays. Worldwide, 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, from their children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2014.Parents used to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.The change of roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and other forms of media give children ways to get information besides from asking older generations(长辈). Therefore, in the age of information, it’s possible that chil dren know more than their parents do.According to the China Internet Network Information Center(CINIC), 56.7 percent of Internet users and 67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. The younger generation usually acts as alink between their family and the new environment. But when they teach their parents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him closer to his parents. “People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out?” said Zhang.( )11.According to the passage, Zhang’s parents can’t_______with the “WeChat guide”.A．make video calls B．send messagesC．grab the red envelopes D．take pictures( )12.Why does children know more than their parents do nowadays?A．Because parents teach the children about almost everything.B．Because children can ask more older generations for help.C．Because parents are getting old.D．Because children can get more information by using new technoloies.( )13.What does the underlined word “link” in paragraph 5 mean?A．teacher B．connection C．treasure D．conversation( )14.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Zhang Mi ng’s “We Chat guide” is made up of drawings and simple words.B．40% of parents lean about new technologies from their children all over the world on 2014.C．56.7% of social media users in China are under 30 according to the CINIC．D．Zhang Ming thinks that we should encourage our parents to use more new technolohies.

Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plan. So airlines（航空公司）offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree?To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don’t want to lose customers.However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude（海拔）we can not taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure（气压）reduces one third of the sensibility（感觉）of our taste buds. So ourtaste buds become senseless. The sad face, however, is that our noses don’t know it.All of these help explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy（辛辣的）food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.Though sci entists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can’t deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.( )26.In Paragraph 2, “this problem” means ______.A．passengers stay long in the plane B．food on the plane tastes badC．passengers have no food to eat D．food on the plane is expensive( )27.What do airlines do to solve this problem?A．Get more customers. B．Offer more food.C．Improve their food.

Here is some advice on healthy eating.Eat with others. It can help you to see others' healthy eating habits. If you usually eat with your parents, you will find that the food you eat is more delicious.Listen to your body. Ask yourself if you are really hungry. Have a glass of water to see if you are thirsty--sometimes you are just thirsty, and you need no food. Stop eating before you feel full.Eat breakfast. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Because you don't eat for the past ten hours, your body needs food to get you going. You will be smarter after eating breakfast Eat healthy snacks like fruits, yogurt or cheese. We all need snacks sometimes. In fact, it's a good idea to eat two healthy snacks between your three meals. This doesn't mean that you can eat a bag of chips instead of a meal.Don't eat dinner late. In our busy life, we always put off eating dinner until the last minute. Try to eat dinner at least 3 hours before you go to bed. This will give your body a chance to digest most of the food before you rest for the next 8-10 hours.( )41.The writer gives us _________ pieces of advice on healthy eating.A．4 B．5 C．6 D．7( )42.Which snack is Not mentioned in the passage?A．Fruits.

We need more and more food.One way to produce more food is growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic(遗传的) material. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified (转基因的) foods, or GM foods.By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases (疾病). They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice will be grown, for example, which stops people becoming blind.Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050.There arestrong feelings against them because they are unnatural. They may feed people, but then hurt them or their children later. But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses, and they are not going to go away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.1. There may be ________ billion people by the year 2050 on the earth.A. 6.4B. 12.5C. 18.5D. 20.52. How have scientists been able to change plants more quickly?A. By making the best plants.B.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. GM plants are not natural.B. GM plants are strong against plant diseases.C. Everyone knows how good or bad GM plants are.D. GM foods may hurt people or their children later.5. What can we learn from the passage?A. GM foods will disappear one day in the future.B. GM foods will not disappear in the future.C. People will not be interested in GM foods.D. People will have to stop eating GM foods.阅读理解（三）A plant makes its own food in its leaves. Water comes to the leaves through the roots. Air gets into the leaves through very small holes. The green coloring in the leaves uses the water and air to make food for the plant. It also needs sunshine because a plant can make food only when the sun is shining.Animals and people could not live without green plants. They both eat plants. People and some animals also eat the meat of some animals and these animals eat plants.1. A plant gets food from________.A. the sunB. the airC. its rootsD. its leaves2.

A plant has very small holes in its leaves for ________ to come in.A. waterB. airC. sunshineD. green coloring4. A plant can make its food when it is ________.A. windyB. rainyC. cloudyD. sunny阅读理解（四）Dogs are very sociable(合群的) animals. Whenowners go out and leave their dogs alone, the dogs getworried and upset. Dogs should be trained to be theirown while still young instead of when they are older and set in their ways. When owners are not around, they should provide some toys for their dogs to play with. Leaving the radio or television turned on might also provide relaxing background noise.Howling(嚎叫) is a form of communication. Dogs do it to tell one another where they are. Some dogs howl when they are lonely, while others do it when greeting strangers whom they are seeing for the first time. Some even howl to music and do this because it is fun.When it comes to training dogs, giving rewards(奖赏) is a far better way than using punishment. Food makes an excellent reward, and if they do not respond(反应) to this, owners should try touching. Dogs like being touched by owners very much. Words of praise work well too, but not as well as food or touch. It helps if owners spend more time with their dogs.1. When should dogs be trained to be their own?A. When they are born.B. When they are young.C. When they are worried.D. When they are older.2. Why should the owners leave the television turned on when they arenot at home?A. Because they think their dogs like watching TV.B. Because they think watching TV helps to train dogs.C. Because they want to make their dogs feel less worried.D. Because they want their dogs to learn some skills from TVprograms.3. What is the second paragraph of the passage mainly about?A. Dogs howl to music.B. Dogs howl to tell where they are.C. Dogs howl to communicate.D. Dogs howl to show they are lonely.4. According to this passage, which of the following isn't a good way totrain dogs?A. Punishing the dogs.B.

The difference is thatprisoners get out after a few years!Animals in cages look bored and areboring to look at. After all, we all know what an elephant looks like；we've seen them on TV. So why make animals suffer by shutting them up for our fun？Shut up the zoos instead!Posted by：Emily on April 19, at 18：12 Comments (3)CommentsI partly agree. But some zoos aren't there for our fun. I've just got back from Jersey Zoo. It saves rare(珍稀的) animals and breeds them. Then it returns the babies to the wild. Not all zoos are the same, you know.Posted by：Angela on April 21, at 18：17Quite agree! Every time I go to the zoo, I never look into the poor animals' eyes! Kept in the small and smelly cages, they look so lonely and sad. Hope one day they will return to nature, where they can live happily and freely with their families.Posted by：John on April 22, at 12：21Personally, I think zoos are fantastic places for children. They can play with animals and enjoy themselves so much there. Also, they learn a lot about animals. Why shut up?Posted by：David on April 22, at 21：051.

They thought that the fat, whitebearded man would bring them gifts. But do you know that some people would rather keep Santa out of the door?Last month, 10 doctoral (博士的) students from Tsinghua, Peking and Renmin Universities said Santa Claus wasn't welcome in China.“Foreign holidays like Christmas are now very popular in China, while fewer and fewer people celebrate traditional Chinese festivals like the Dragon Boat Festival,” said the students in a public letter.They asked people to stop sending Christmas cards and giving gifts to their children. Instead, they said, Chinese should spend more time on traditional festivals.They have lots of support. In Hunan, several people went out on the street on Christmas Day. They made poems and wrote Chinese calligraphy (书法).“Rather than spending money on Christmas, we should care more about our own culture,” said one of them.But others have different ideas. “Celebrations of foreign holidays help us know more about foreign cultures. It is good for us to make friends, ” said Liu Yang, a 14yearold boy from Shanghai.Sun Long, 13, from Beijing, sees the celebration as a way to make people happier and closer. “My school held a big party on Christmas Day.

As he waited for his parents to return home, he watched a film on TV. His eyes became heavier and heavier as time passed by.Suddenly Bob's eyes opened wide- what was the sound in the next room? Bob heard the window being opened slowly. For a minute, Bob was so frightened that he could not move, and his body felt like ice. He knew that he couldn't lose his head and began to think of the things he could do.Again he heard the sound of someone trying to climb into his home through the window.Bob's drums were standing in the corner near the TV. "Wait, maybe there is something I can do," thought Bob. He beat his drums as hard as he could. The sound was so terrible that Bob surprised even himself.

However, when she first walked past the students in the school, her excitement turned to fear, and then to loneliness（孤独） over the next few days. "Why didn't anyone say 'hi' to me or invite me to his or her lunch table? Is it because of my clothes or my hair?" she wondered. Almost every day during the first week, Anna stayed alone, thinking that there must have been something wrong with her or that nobody saw her at all!What caused Anna's problem? The reason was that nobody knew her. Most people don't like talking with strangers. So it's your job to volunteer to make contact with people who you want to know. The easiest way to catch their attention is to notice them first. Make eye contact with them, and smile at them. When you smile at them, you are doing your best to show your kindness to them, and they are sure to understand that you are saying, "Hey, how's everything going?" In thisway, you are taking the first step towards the road to friendship.When Anna realized this, she started talking to her classmates. Guess what happened? It really worked. She had made two friends by the end of the month.In fact, saying "hi" or making friends with strangers is not hard. And the joy it brings you is really great. So try to open your heart to strangers!（1）Which of the following shows the change in Anna's feelings?A. excited→afraid→lonely→happyB. happy→lonely→sad→proudC. afraid→relaxed→nervous→happyD. nervous→angry→happy→sad（2）The underlined word "contact" in Paragraph 2 means .A. agreeB. greetC. praiseD. communicate（3）According to the writer's opinion, which is the easiest way to catch others' attention?A.

Teenagers can't get along well with each other.C. Opening our heart to strangers can help us get friends.D. It's hard to take the first step towards the road to friendship.3．阅读理解Bike-sharing has swept across China, with an increasing number of people choosing bike riding instead of driving. The bike that the service company provides has GPS or Bluetooth on it, and those bikes can be easily unlocked with a smartphone and left anywhere in public. Bike-sharing allows people to borrow a bike from one place and return it at another place easily.In some cities, we can see more and more people riding this kind of sharing-bikes. It's very convenient to use the bikes if you have a smartphone. First, you have to download such an app on your smartphone. Then what you need to do is find a nearest hike through the app, scan the QR code on the bike or connect your phone with the bike over a Bluetooth wireless connection. You will find the bike can be unlocked itself. Then you can enjoy your trip. What's more, the greatest advantage of hike- sharing is that you can easily find one and never worry about where to park it. The cost of riding depends on the time that you spend. Normally, every hour you ride, you need to pay one yuan. It doesn't cost so much, does it?At the same time, some people park the hikes in their own homes. Besides, some people don't value the bikes. Now service companies are trying to solve the problems like being stolen.Technology and science have changed our social lifestyles. We have to say bike- sharing brings us more convenience without doubt.

Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eatfarm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?Should People Take Direct Action?Many people think that hunting（打猎） is the best way to control the animal populations. Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity（容量）. Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this methodis expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem（生态系统）.Scientists are also working to develop chemicals（化学药品） to control the birth rate（率）in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.Should People Take Indirect Action?Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences（篱笆） around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers.▲Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity（容量） of the environment. So, let nature go its own way.（1）According to the passage, increased numbers of deer can bring to people in the area.A. water pollutionB. traffic accidentsC. serious illnessesD. growing populations（2）Which of the following is the best to fill in the " ▲ " in the passage?A. Should People Do Nothing?B. Should People Protect the Deer?C. Should People Take Special Action?D. Should People Drive the Deer Away?（3）The writer most probably agrees that .A. farmers can build fences to keep the deer outB. people should leave the deer alone in the wildC. hunting is the best way to control the deer populationsD. it's great to catch the deer and move them to other places（4）The writer organizes this passage by .A. telling storiesB. using numbersC. giving opinionsD. describing scenes （场景）7．阅读理解By Anna Matteo28 January, 2019A 3-year-old boy who was lost in the woods for two days is now safe at home with his family.

Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it's hard for you to communicate with your parents, don't worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap （代沟）.Don't argue （争辩） with your parents. Don't get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won't consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can't express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don't think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.Try to reach a compromise （和解）. Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something.You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael's mother didn't agree with him about buying a motorcycle.
