I had always enjoyed learning languages in school, but only recently did I start learning German. I found that I could understand and learn individual words easily, but when it came to literature, I really struggled. That was when my tutor at university suggested reading some children's books printed in the target language.At first, I felt a bit silly going on a hunt for a book designed for someone halfmy age, but then I realised that everyone has to start somewhere. As children, we are given these basic texts to familiarise our brains with certain vocabulary and writing structures, and from there, we can learn and develop. I started with books which are taught to us as children in the UK. I managed to find Oliver Twist by Charles Dickens and James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.The beauty of reading books that were introduced to you as a child is that you are already familiar with the plot. Therefore you can work out some words with your knowledge of the story. At first, I used to read with the book in one hand and a dictionary in the other, but this did not work well. The method I would recommend is to read a chapter first and at the end of that chapter, highlight the new words and then look up the definitions. If you can wait a bit before using a dictionary, you may be surprised what you can understand merely from the context. Additionally, a lot of children's books have pictures which may give you a clue as to what or to whom the passage is referring.If you can find a translation of the books you have read as a child, I would strongly advise reading those if you are a complete beginner. However, if you feel a bit more confident reading in English, I would personally recommend the series of ‘Harry Potter’ books by J. K. Rowling or any of the Roald Dahl children's books.24. What makes it hard for the author to learn German?A. The author had a poor memory.B. The author had no interest in it.C. The author had no one to ask for help.D. The author couldn't read books fluently.25. What did the author think of reading children's books in the target language at first?A. Interesting.B. Stupid.C. Helpful.D. Boring.26. What does the author try to express mainly in Paragraph 3?A. How to deal with new words while reading.B. Why it is helpful to read children's book at first.C. How to choose a proper book to match your level.D. How to form the habit of reading in the target language.27. Why does the author write this text?A. To give tips on how to learn a new language.B. To persuade the readers to learn a new language.C. To stress the importance of reading in language learning.D. To share the author's stories of learning a new language.CI love winter birds and I love photographing them in snow. That being said, I admit that I'm a fair-weather birder(猎鸟者).Worse, I'm a lazy, fair-weather birder.I don't like weather extremes, so when it's very hot or really cold, it is hard to get me to leave the comfort of home. In summer, I only photograph hummingbirds(蜂鸟)in my yard, and in winter, I try to only go out on relatively mild days. Most of my bird photography is done within an hour's drive of my hometown of Elmira, Ont. So it's all about finding a balance that works.The winter of 2014 was a great year for snowy owls(雪枭)here in Woolwich Township. One day in early March, I was on my way home from work when I noticed a beautiful snowy owl sitting in a tree right at the crossing. I pulled over to admire him, and then kept heading home unwillingly.Two hundred meters or so down the road, there were two more snowy owls in a field by a fence, and in the next field over, another on top of a fence post. I couldn't find words to express my feeling at that moment. Thus I rushed home, grabbed my camera and went right back out to get some pictures. It was one of the most magical local birding moments I've ever experienced.When I'm looking for excellent opportunities to photograph snowy owls and other birds without spending dozens of hours searching for them-and if I'm lucky, finding one that's semi-cooperative-I head to the Canadian Raptor Conservancy (CRC) or the Mountsberg Raptor Centre. I've attended so many photo sessions at each of these fantastic facilities that I've lost count.28. What factor has the most effect on whether the author goes out to photograph birds or not?A. Road conditions.B. Personal emotion.C. Weather conditions.D. Time arrangement.29. How did the author feel when he saw the snowy owls on the way home?A. Sad.B. Excited.C. Untouched.D. Proud.30. What does the underlined word "them" in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. Opportunities.B. Moments.C. Pictures.D. Birds.31. What can we infer about the author?A. The author only photographs snowy owls.B. The author can take excellent photos easily.C. The author makes a living by photographing birds.D. The author values each chance to photograph birds.DWHAT are scientists? They are often described as gray-haired white-coated dull scholars.But the world has changed. Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.This is also true in China. Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji, university professor Liu Mingzhen, and biologist Wang Ruixue. At the age of 28 in 2018, Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists. This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.She focuses mainly on biomedicine(生物医学)and artificial intelligence(人工智能). "Both are cutting-edge(前沿)technologies at an early stage of development," she said."So, I think they have great potential to be developed. I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies, China and other leading countries in the world are standing on the same starting line. And in the study of structural biology, China is likely to become the leader."She felt it was her fate to become a biologist. "I grew interested in the natural world, when I was very young," she said. In 2009, she entered Sun Yat-sen University.In her third year at the university, she realized that she wanted to do somethingrelated to biomedicine. So she emailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong, hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.Shi recognized her talent and welcomed her. Years of efforts at the lab have paid off. Her research on the high-definition 3D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.Unlike-many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad, Wan currently has no plan to go overseas."The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China," she said, adding the country has great science facilities.32. What does the underlined word "releasing" in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Giving out.B. Getting over.C. Finding out.D. Taking over.33. What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting-edge technologies in China?A. Anxious.B. Confident.C. Disappointed.D. Satisfied.34. What can we learn about Wan Ruixue's journey of becoming a biologist?A. Her teacher led her into the field.B. She finds it's easier than she thought.C. Her contribution has been recognized.D. She thinks it's boring but worth trying.35. Which can be the best title of the text?A. China's Breakthrough in ScienceB. Rising Young Scientists in ChinaC. Wan Ruixue: A Successful Young ScientistD. New Image of Chinese Scientists 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Teenagers who start the school early are likely to weigh slightly more than those whostart later. That’s the finding of a new study of nearly 30,000 Canadians between the ages of10 and 18.Getting too little sleep can put kids at risk for a number of problems. Sleepy teens are morelikely to be overweight, to have trouble concentrating and to struggle in school. GenevieveGariepy, who works at Mcgill University in Montreal, Canada, wanted to know how earlierschool start times might be connected with weight.“Overweight in teenagers is a big problem in North America,” she says. The number of overweight kids has grown over the past 30 years. So Gariepy decided to home in on the impact (影响) of school start times.Her team collected start times for 362 Canadian schools. Then they asked students at those schools to give their height and weight. In all, they collected data from nearly 30,000 10 to 18-year-olds. Among 6th-to 10th-graders, those who started school earlier were likely to be slightly heavier for their height. Every 10-minute delay in school start time was connected, on average, with a lightly lower weight among students who were the same sex, age and height. However, the difference is slight. Healthy eating and getting enough exercise will play a bigger role in keeping a healthy weight.Because the study compared kids who already started school at different times of day, it’s not clear that changing school start time would help heavier kids lose weight. To know for sure, researchers would want to compare the same kids before and after changing to a later school start time.Still, the study is a good start, says Cora Collette Bruener, a doctor at Seattle Children’s Hospital in Washington. The findings add to a growing pile of evidence that later school start time might be better for teen health, she says.（1）What is the finding of the new study?A More and more teens are growing overweight.B Healthy diets and enough exercise help reduce weight.C Teens who start school earlier are a little overweight.D Teens who start school earlier do not perform well.（2）What does the underlined phrase “home in on” in paragraph 3 probably mean?A reduceB focus onC move toD judge（3）How did Gariepy’s team get their finding?A By recording the teen’s weight.B By checking the teen’s physical health.C By comparing different sets of data.D By measuring the teen’s height.（4）What does Cora Collette Bruener think of the study?A It has inspiring value.B It lacks further support.C It needs improving.D It is well designed.（5）The passage is written to_______.A discuss when schools should start.B inform the finding of a recent study.C warn parents to take good care of kids.D call on school leaders to change schools’ schedules.3. 阅读理解When I was growing up, Mother's Day was as important as Christmas.The energy around the house was always positive（积极的）, mostly thanks to my father who made sure that his kids appreciated their mother, We would clean the house, and Mum got breakfast in bed in the morning and didn't have to lift a finger all day. And in the evening, we went to a restaurant for a traditional Mother's Day dinner.What I learned from my father over the years, was that no matter what, he always put mymother before himself. He absolutely loved her and never let her forget that. And from my parents, I learned a thing or two about how to love.I maintain（保持） my father's Mother's Day tradition with my wife. Growing up, I learned that showing affection to the woman you love or who gave birth to you is an important part of life. You see, it goes both ways, and the love you have for your mother comes back to you again and again.Believing that and feeling it when you can may keep you from being lonely, even if your mum isn't close by or has passed away. There are a number of us who no longer have a mother in our lives, and truth be told, there are often times when I wish my mum were still here to comfort me. So instead, I remember the times she did just that. It makes me smile, and somehow, those memories of a more simple and loving life give me the comfort I'm looking for.My wife's mother is still around, however, and it's great to have that "mother energy" in my life still.
