But they might also encourage you to help change the world. Three girls, Kristen, Jenna and Marisa from New York, learned about a growing problem from a reading test they took. The problem is e-waste, short for electronic waste. The girls learned some dangerous chemicals （化学品）in e-waste can harm the environment and people. Later in the year, they had to come up with an idea for a science project. They remembered the interesting topic from their test. So the girls started a recycling drive to help other students and the community learn about properly recycling e-waste. They called themselves the E-Waste Girl"In our town, people recycle paper plastic and glass, but not electronics. What can we do" asked Marisa."How about asking our friends if they know how to recycle e-waste" suggested Jenna.The girls asked their friends, and nobody had heard anything about it. Many of their teachers didn't know either. So they taught everyone, including their teachers, to learn about properly recycling e-waste. Then they put recycling boxes in the school hall and asked the students to collect old cell phones, radios and other items. When the boxes were full, they sent them to a special recycling center. The recyclers took out the dangerous chemicals and disposed （处理）of them properly, so that they don't go into the air or the ground or the water.One big way people can help reduce e-waste is by buying smartly. So the girls strongly suggested considering electronics made with fewer dangerous chemicals and choosing electronics that will last several years.The girls' project also helped them become finalists in the We Can Change the World Challenge, a national student competition. The E-Waste Girls see a bright future in which projects like theirs will not be needed any more.24.How did the E-Waste Girls first learn about e-waste？______A. A friend told them about it.B. Recyclers taught them about it.C. They read about it in a reading test.D. A teacher talked about it in a science class.25.Why did the E-Waste Girls start a recycling drive？______A. To set up a recycling center in the town.B. To take part in a national student competition.C. To encourage people to buy electronics smartly.D. To teach people how to properly recycle e-waste.26.The E-Waste Girls' story mainly tells us that ______ .A. recycling e-waste is really difficultB. students can help to change the worldC. students should do more science projectsD. competitions bring students a bright futureCDo you have trouble remembering things you've read Scientists at RMIT University in Australia have come up with a new font（字体）that can help you remember-by making words harder to read.Fonts are used to make letters look a certain way on computers or in books. If you're writing a report, you can give a different look to the words in your report by choosing a different font. For example, you can make them look like they might look in a book, or you can make them look like handwriting.Scientists have discovered that people often remembered things better if it was a little bit harder for them to read. The scientists learned that if you are reading words that are difficult to recognize, your brain has to work a little bit harder to make sense of the words that your eyesare seeing. This extra work helps your brain remember the ideas better.Now scientists at RMIT in Australia have taken this idea and created a font just for remembering things. The font, called "Sans Forgetica"，is a little bit harder to read, on purpose. The name of the font is a joke of sorts. "Sans" means "without". When it's used for fonts, "sans" usually describes a font with simple lines. "Forgetica" sounds like the famous font "Helvetica". But taken together, the name "Sans Forgetica" means "Without Forgetting"There are two main things that make the font harder to read and easier to remember. Probably the most obvious one is that all of the letters have gaps（缺口）in them. When the letters have these gaps, the brain has to fill in the gaps to recognize them. This makes readers slow down and pay attention to what they read.The other surprising thing about Sans Forgetica is it slants（倾斜）backwards. You may be used to seeing words written in italics-letters that slant toward the right. Stephen Banham, who helped create Sans Forgetica says, "Backslants are only used in maps to show the position（位置）of rivers."When someone creates a new font, they often sell it. But RMIT is giving away their font for free, hoping that it will help students and other people who need to remember things.27.Why was Sans Forgetica created______A. To help people recognize difficult words.B. To help students practice handwriting.C. To help students write special reports.D. To help people remember things.28.What idea have the scientists taken to create Sans Forgetica？______A. Reading words with more letters exercises brains.B. The font with simple lines helps people read quickly.C. Working hard to recognize words improves memory.D. People like to read things that are a little hard for them.29.What can we learn from the passage______A. Letters in Sans Forgetica font slant toward the right.B. Letters that slant toward the left are uncommonly used.C. Gaps in letters make people interested in what they read.D. The brain pays no attention to the gaps in Sans Forgetica font.DWe've all felt confused before. The feeling of not knowing what theanswers or solutions are can make us feel useless, stupid, and cause usto worry.People are often likely to think the person who has all of the answersis smarter than the one who asks a lot of questions. As a result, peopleoften try to hide their confusion in different ways. People sometimes act as if they have the answers. At other times, people make guesses or create an answer even if they know it isn't right.But confusion might actually be a good thing. When we jump to an answer, we don't have time to explore（探索）the thing we're confused about. Instead of paying no attention to your confusion, accepting it and taking the opportunity to think about what's confusing can benefit our learning. In fact, scientific studies show that confusion actually leads to deeper understanding. A 2004 study explored six moods that people feel while learning, including upset, bored, and confused. They found that students who spent more of the lesson confused learned the most. In another study, scientists tried to confuse students by giving them contradicting（矛盾的）information. Students who expressed confusion during the lesson did better on the final test. Not knowing the answer to a problem gives us space to look at different ways to solve it. The feeling of confusion also encourages us to look more deeply into the problem. In the end, this helps us understand the topic on a deeper level.Confusion is also important for learning your identity（身份）. People find out their identity in two steps. The first step is exploration, where you try out different groups and values and see what fits. The next step is commitment，when you decide firmly（坚定地）about some parts of your identity. You make up your mind that you will act in a way that fits your identity. Exploring your identity can feel very confusing. But a study found that people who do the most exploring about who they are have better outcomes such as higher self-confidence andself-esteem（自尊）later in life.So, instead of trying to hide your confusion, try a new method, ask for help, or research different ways to deal with the problem to work through your confusion.30.Why does a person try to hide his confusion______A. Because he wants others to make good judgement on him.B. Because he has good ability to guess and create an answer.C. Because hiding his confusion helps him work out a solution.D. Because telling others his confusion will make them confused.31.What is the finding of the studies in Paragraph 3？______A. Good understanding leads to less confusion.B. Confusion can have helpful effect on learning.C. Digging deeply into a problem may cause confusion.D. Confusion prevents the development of self-confidence.32.The word "commitment" in Paragraph 4 probably means " ______ ".A. promiseB. imaginationC. challengeD. argument33.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage？______A. To call on readers to study confusion on a deeper level.B. To tell readers about the research results on confusion.C. To explain to readers it's normal to feel confused.D. To encourage readers to clear up their confusion.四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.Our brains change in many ways as we grow.In September 2020，scientists published（发表）a study about one change that happens.It shows that as we grow, our brain processes words differently. The study was led by Elissa Newport, a doctor who studies and treats the brain at Georgetown UniversityMedical Center.The brain is an organ（器官）in the body. It controls how the body works. It also controls how we think and use our senses. It is divided into a right half and a left half. They are called hemispheres. The two hemispheres connect in the middle to send messages to each other.The study found that children have speech centers on both sides of their brains. Young children and teens use both sides of their brains to understand language. As we become adults, the brain only uses the left side for this task. This happens slowly over time. It starts around the time we learn to talk. It finishes when we are about 19 years old.Today's scientists have high-tech tools that can measure（测量）the brain. Functional magnetic resonance imaging （FMRI）is one of them. It can collect images（图像）ofblood flow in the brain. Scientists can study healthy, working brains with it. They can see when a part of the brain is active, or turned on. It shows up as a set of colors in an image.In Newport's study, 39 children and 14 adults tried to understand sentences. The team used FMRI to watch their brains. Each FMRI scan took many pictures of the brain. There were patches（斑块）of color in each picture. This showed which parts of the brain were getting the most blood. This was a sign that they were turned on and active.For the youngest kids, both sides of the brain became active when understandingsentences. The pictures showed many patches of color. By age 19，no activity showed up on the right side.Other scientists are doing research too. They are studying brain areas that process vision and memory. Newport hopes to combine（结合）her study results with work by those scientists to get a more "complete map" of how brains work.What does the study that was published in 2020 show？______What does the brain do as an organ______According to Newport's study, from what age do people only use the left side of their brains to understand language______What is the fifth paragraph mainly about______Why does Newport hope to combine her study results with others' work？______五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）35.从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。

The words fitted the music now!He left his guitar on the grass and now started to sing out loud.Alper was finally happy. Maybe this was all he had ever wanted.24.Alper was ______ when his mum opened the door.A. boiling waterB. writing lyricsC. practicing the guitarD. having a good rest25.Alper bought the guitar ______ .A. to play it in the parkB. to help him write musicC. to have a guitar courseD. to know some young people26.Alper was finally happy because ______ .A. his song attracted his mumB. his guitar was very fantasticC. he could play the guitar very wellD. he found the right music for his songPLife of children is competitive. For example, in kindergarten, some children can do something faster or better than other children can. In school, some children do very well in spelling or they always win in sports.Every child likes winning because it gives children a good feeling about themselves and makes them proud. But learning to lose is just as important as learning to win. Research has shown that losing games is helpful for children.Melody Brook, a therapist（治疗师）in Texas-says that the experience of coping with（处理）loss is helping children to understand other children in the same position. A child that has neverlost a game will not realize that everyone struggles in life.Losing a game is the only way for children to learn from their mistakes and think about strategies（策略）to improve. When children improve their skills and win the next time, they do not only get better at the sport or game, but they also learn something new. Learning new things increases children's confidence and their self-belief and they start to be proud of their abilities.Finally, losing shows children that they need to work hard in order to have success because good things are not just handed over to them. These situations also help children to lose with grace（优雅）in front of others and to be seen as a fair loser.Children need to practice losing in order to be able to cope when they lose in a competition in front of their peers. Children who do not experience losing can grow up to be anxious, because they start seeing the possibility of not winning as some form of harm and they cannot deal with situations that do not go their way.The feelings of losing and moving on are special skills children need to develop in order to deal with negative experiences in life when they become older. It might not seem fair to children that one kid can do something faster or better than they can, but children must understand that everyone has different talents and that it is impossible to be good at everything.27.According to the writer, losing ______ .A. tests the talents of childrenB. means unfair to the childrenC. gives children chances to improveD. is a kind of serious harm for children28.What can we learn from the passage？______A. After the children experience losing, they become helpful.B. If the children work hard, they will feel proud of themselves.C. Children need to create the situation of loss in their daily life.D. Children need to develop skills to deal with negative experiences.29.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage？______A. What Can Children Do to Grow up？B. What Can Children Learn from Losing？C. Why Is a Competition Important for Children？D. Why Does Losing Make Children Feel Anxious？QDoes Writing by Hand Make Kids Smarter？Do you often write by hand or type on a keyboard？Does yourschool offer any handwriting training？Maybe you think it's the age of technology now and digital learning is popular. And typing is easier than handwriting. Digital learning has many positive aspects, but we also need to write by hand.The result from Van der Meer and her colleagues' studies has shown that both children and adults learn more and remember better when writing by hand. They used an EEG（脑电图）to track and record brain wave activity. Young adults and children participated in their study. The participants wore a hood（兜帽）with over 250 electrodes（电极）attached. The brain produces electrical impulses（脉冲）when it is active. The sensors（传感器）in the electrodes are very sensitive and pick up the electrical activity that takes place in the brain. The result shows that the brain in both adults and children is much more active when writing by hand than when typing on a keyboard."Writing by hand creates much more activity in the sensorimotor（感觉运动的）parts of the brain. A lot of senses are activated by pressing the pen on paper, seeing the letters you write and hearing the sound you make while writing. These sense experiences create contact between different parts of the brain and open the brain up for learning. We both learn better and remember better." says Van der Meer.In the debate about handwriting or keyboard use in school, some teachers believe that keyboards create less frustration for children. They point out that children can write longer texts earlier, and are more motivated to write because they experience greater mastery with a keyboard."Learning to write by hand is a bit slower process, but it's important for children to write by hand. The hand movements and the shaping of letters are beneficial in several ways. If you use a keyboard, you use the same movement for each letter. Writing by hand requires control of your fine motor skills and senses. It's important to put the brain in a learning state as often as possible." says Van der Meer.Given the development of the last several years, we risk having one or more generations lose the ability to write by hand. In order for the brain to develop in the best possible way, we need to use it for what it's best at. If we don't challenge our brain, it can't reach its full potential（潜能）. And that can have a strong effect on school performance.We should ensure children receive at least a minimum（最小量）of handwriting training. Now it's time to use the pen and paper to do some writing.30.What do you know about Van der Meer and her colleagues' studies from the passage？______A. The hood the participants wore has no electrodes.B. Writing by hand can make people's brain much more active.C. The sensors in the electrodes are attached by keyboards.D. They write the information by hand to record the brain wave activity.31.Writing by hand ______ .A. creates different sense experiences to help people learn betterB. makes people control their feelings to develop their brainC. gives people chances to contact with digital learningD. keeps the brain of people staying in a state of rest32.The words "motivated to write" in Paragraph 5 probably mean ______ .A. careful to writeB. afraid of writingC. responsible for writingD. interested in writing33.The writer probably agrees that ______ .A. keyboards should not be usedB. challenging our brain is difficultC. handwriting training is necessaryD. writing by hand creates less frustration34.Teen Scientist Finds a Low-Tech Way to Recycle WaterShreya Ramachandran is 17 years old. She lives in Fremont,California. In 2014，she visited Tulare County andremembered seeing California's water crisis（危机）. Tulare isin California's Central Valley, and at that time, locals werefacing terrible water shortages caused by climate change. The wells completely ran dry and they were trucking water in for even basic needs.Ramachandran was really shocked so she decided to do something for the locals. She tried to find ways to reuse water from showers and washing machines in order to help people better deal with water shortages.Around that time, Ramachandran's grandmother was visiting from India, and had brought with her a handful of soap nuts. A soap nut, also known as a soap berry, is a small yellow or brown fruit covered with a hard, brown shell. Soap nuts are native to India, where they are used for bathing.One day, when she was using soap nuts as a shampoo, she suddenly realized that probably soap nuts can be used as laundry detergent（洗衣粉）as well, and then they can reuse the leftover water because soap nuts are all natural.To see if the leftover water could be used to water plants, she also developed a project. She sent emails to universities up and down in California to ask for help. Finally, she got the support of a professor at the University of California, Berkeley. She tested the water on grasses and vegetables and found that gray water from soap nuts could be reused safely for non-potable（非饮用的）uses。

They can detect other vehicles, pedestrians, and road signs, making decisions inreal-time. The potential benefits of driverless cars are numerous. Proponents argue that they will lead to safer roads, less traffic congestion, and reduced pollution.However, critics have expressed concerns about the safety and ethics of these vehicles. What happens if a driverless car is involved in an accident? Who is responsible when the vehicle makes a wrong decision? These are just some of the questions that need to be addressed as this technology continues to evolve.27.

But one day, Rose didn’t see her school IC card at lunch time. She asked her classmates and looked for it everywhere. But she couldn’t find it. Later, one girl said that she saw Kate take a card from Rose’s desk. Hearing this, Rose got very angry.When she met Kate in the afternoon, Rose shouted, “You have stolen my card!” Hearing this, Kate began to cry, “No, no, I didn’t steal it! I only took it by mistake.” But Rose didn’t think so and she began to say bad words to Kate.Just then a teacher came up and asked what had happened. Kate told the whole story. She said a middle school classmate of hers came to see her in the morning. She was so excited that she took the card on the desk and rushed out. Then they went for lunch happily. “I used the card, but I had thought it was mine. I didn’t know it was Rose’s until she looked for it. I was too afraid to explain it to her. So I decided to put the card back with some money secretly. I am sorry, Rose.” Kate said in a low voice.“It’s just a misunderstanding (误会)!” said the teacher. Tears came into Rose’s eyes. Then she said, “I was very sorry, Kate! I hope we are still good friends.” Kate smiled when she heard the words. Hand in hand, they walked toward the classroom building.1．Rose was very ____ when she heard someone took her IC card away.A. quietB. sorryC. excitedD. angry2．Kate didn’t find her mistake until ____.A. she finished lunchB. Rose looked for the cardC. one girl told herD. the teacher asked her3．From the end of the story, we can learn that Rose and Kate would ____.A. be good friends againB. say sorry to the teacherC. go on fighting laterD. explain more to each other16. Knowing how to ask for information and help politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests (请求) —both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough — we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “Where is my book?” this will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?” your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say “Where is my book?” to the people you know well.And you would not usually say, “Peter, lend me your pen.” A very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra (附加的) language, such as “Could you please...?” or “Can I ask...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” If you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, “Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me.” or “I’m sorry to trouble you but…” before asking him for help.It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true. 1．When we make requests, we need to speak in a ____ way.A. politeB. carefulC. differentD. direct2．You should say “____” when you ask a stranger for a way.A. Which is the way to the zoo?B. How can I get to the zoo?C. Do you know the way to the zoo?D. Excuse me. Can you tell me the way to the zoo?3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. We should use long sentences when we ask for information and help.B. When we ask for help from others, polite language must be used.C. The way of speaking is important when we ask different people for help.D. In English, polite questions are as neccessary as rude and direct ones.17. The best tool you can use in communicating with parents is to keep talking to them, no matter what. Strong relationship (关系) depend heavily on keeping the lines of communication open. Try to talk about everyday things with your parents. That doesn’t mean telling them everything. In fact, turn the focus onto them for a change: Ask about their day — just as they do with you.David, 16, is a senior school student. One evening, after he mentioned at dinner that he was thinking of trying out for the school play, his mom kept asking about it for weeks. And later, it also felt like she was getting too involved (参与) in something he wanted to do himself. Instead of telling his mom how he felt, David decided it would be easier not to tell her anything he was doing in the future.A good way to get a parent to ask fewer questions is to offer some information on your own. This puts the communication in your hands. The more you keep a parent told about everyday things, the less they need to ask. Communicating everyday things has another advantage: It can show your parents that you’re responsible enough to make good decisions.It won’t always be easy. You may get frustrated (受挫) at times. But try not to give up. It may take a bit for a parent who is used to making all the decisions to adjust (适合) to the independent-thinking person their child is becoming. Parents also don’t want to see their sons and daughters suffer (受苦) if the choices they make on their own aren’t the “right” ones. To many parents, it seems easier to step in and take control simply because they believe their years of experience put them in a better position to make decisions. If you feel that’s the case (情况) with your parents, talk to them about it.1．The underlined part “turn the focus onto them” probably means ____.A. talk the things about themB. have a good time with themC. show your thanks to themD. do something good for them2．In the third paragraph, you are advised to ____.A. let your parents know everything about your daily lifeB. tell your parents more information before you are askedC. keep your parents asking you more questions of your thingsD. be responsible to help your parents make good decisions3．What causes parents to take control of children?A. They find their children wrong.B. They do well in almost everything.C. They think they can make better decisions.D. They are used to making choices for children.4．The main idea of the passage is how to ____.A. make decisions on your ownB. learn from your parentsC. think carefully for yourselfD. communicate with parents三、信息匹配（共1小题）18.阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后面的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Winter was on its way. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she'd read at school. The article was about the kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.The only problem was that she wasn't sure how to help. What did her town need that a kid could do？In the article, the kids grew food for people who needed food. But it was winter, she couldn't start a garden. Amaya was still deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.On the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk, wearing only light jackets. How cold they must be, Amaya thought. That gave her an idea! She could help her town. She could collect winter coats, hats, and gloves for people in Harvard who needed them.Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least. Mrs. Monroe was very supportive when Amaya talked about her idea. She even said she could help Amaya talk to the principal（校长）about it, so they could get the whole school involved! They decided to call the project "Hats in Harvard" and they wrote up a letter explaining the idea to the families. Mrs. Monroe said they could even take a field trip to parks around Harvard where families in need gathered to drop off the coats, hats, and gloves. Amaya was excited, and really hoped the principal, Mrs. Brown, would let the school participate（参加）!Mrs. Brown was excited about the idea, and said she would make sure copies of the letter went home with all the students! They collected the winter clothing for a few weeks, then were ableto take their field trip to two parks to leave the clothes where families who needed them could get them.Three days after their field trip, Amaya and her mom once again saw the same family walking together. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats, and gloves. Amaya felt a warm glow in her heart, and was very glad she could help her community.24.The article Amaya read was about ______ .A. the cold weather in HarvardB. the communities in her townC. the trees and buildings near her houseD. the kids who helped out their communities25.To help her own town, Amaya ______ .A. grew food for people who needed foodB. wrote up a letter explaining her idea to the principalC. collected winter clothes for people who needed themD. went shopping with her mom to buy some new clothes26.Three days after the field trip, Amaya felt happy because ______ .A. she really helped her communityB. she could take a field trip t the parksC. Mrs. Brown was excited about her ideaD. Mrs. Monroe helped her to start a projectCScientists found that people who have fewer friends in real life are happier than those with far more if many of theirs were online.Social media, the researchers said, has encouraged younger people to have larger but more impersonal networks of "friends". But instead of trying to get more friends, they added, a better cure for loneliness might be spending time with those you're closest to.Researchers from the University of Leeds, UK，studied data from two online surveys of nearly 1，500 people. Those who took the survey gave details about their ages, social interactions （相互影响），and how satisfied they were with their social lives. They included details of how often and how they interacted with family or neighbours, and whether they included people who provided services to them in their networks.The researchers found that those who had a small number of close friends generally werehappier than those who had a large number of superficial （关系浅的）friends. "Loneliness has less to do with the number of friends you have, and more to do with how you feel about your friends," said Dr. Bruine de Bruin, one of the researchers. "It's often the younger adults who admit to having negative perceptions （负面看法）of their friends. Loneliness happens in people of all ages," she added. "If you feel lonely, it may be more helpful to make a positive （积极的）connection with a friend than to try and find new people to meet," she also said. In her study Dr. Bruine de Bruin found that older people had smaller social circles than young people, but the people in these circles were closer to them. Younger people, on the other hand, had bigger circles that were made up of "peripheral others"—people who are not true friends, but just people they know. These so-called friends didn't influence the younger people's happiness.The results of the study show that the stereotypes （偏见）society has about old people being sad and lonely might not be right. "The research shows that older adults' smaller networks didn't have a bad influence on social satisfaction and happiness. In fact, older adults had a better feeling of happiness than younger adults," said Bruine de Bruin.Based on these results, the study believes that people should pay more attention on the ties with close friends instead of increasing the number of friends.27.What is Paragraph 3 mainly about______A. Who studied the surveys.B. What were included in the surveys.C. How the surveys influenced people.D. How many people took part in the surveys.28.What can we learn from the passage？______A. Young people make close friends online.B. You'd better try to meet new people if you feel lonely.C. Older people have closer friends in their small social circles.D. The so-called friends bring more happiness to young people.29.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage______A. Different Types of Close FriendsB. Friendship between Old and YoungC. Friends：The More, the Better？D. Friends：Online or Offline？DIs Writing Notes by Hand Better than TypingMany college students have given up taking class notes by hand. Instead, they type on laptop or tablet computers. But scientists from Princeton University and the University of California say that this method is less effective.If you need to remember something, write it. Writing notes by hand is much better forlong-term memory of ideas, or conceptual（概念上的）information. That is the finding of a 2014 study published in the journal Psychological Science.So, turn off your computer if you want to remember something. Computers can take your attention away from your work. They can be distracting. Computers provide the chance to send a quick message to a friend, check a sports' score, shop or watch a funny cat video. But scientists say computers may hurt performance in school, called academic performance. The research showed that students who type notes on a keyboard often transcribe，or write down what the professor says word for word. They may write without really thinking about what they are writing. These electronic notes contained more words. But scientists say it leads to "mindless transcription". Transcription means to record something exactly as you hear it. However, students taking notes longhand, or by writing them, need to first process the information they hear. Then they record just the main points, or summarize. They use fewer words. This is because people usually write slower than they type. This process of summarizing information leads to a deeper understanding.In the study, students listened to a teacher and then took a test. Some took notes by typing on a computer. The others took notes by writing them down. Both groups performed about the same in remembering facts. But students who typed their notes did much worse on conceptual questions. These questions required them to understand an idea. Also, researchers found that those who wrote their notes remembered conceptual information better a week later. Researchers believe that the students who wrote notes longhand had a deeper understanding of ideas and concepts.Scientists know that students probably will still use their laptops and tablets in class. But they suggest using some of the available technologies for writing notes by hand on computer screens. They say this might be a good compromise（折中）between old school and new school. This research was contained in a classroom. But the findings may be valuable for anyone wanting to remember more of what they read, hear or see.30.According to the passage, how do many college students take class notes？______A. They type on laptop or tablet computers.B. They memorize the information in mind.C. They write down the notes on notepaper.D. They record the information with recorders.31.The word "transcribe" in Paragraph 3 probably means " ______ ".A. think about what they are writingB. write down just the main pointsC. misunderstand what they hearD. record everything they hear32.What can we learn from the passage？______A. Students who take notes on a computer usually use fewer words.B. Students who take notes by writing do worse in remembering facts.C. Students who take notes by writing have a deeper understanding of ideas.D. Students who take notes on a computer remember things better a week later.33.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage______A. To show a better way of taking notes for long-term memory.B. To suggest students using more technologies for study.C. To point out the disadvantages of using computers.D. To stress the importance of taking notes.四、任务型阅读-简答（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）34.Students at Bullock Creek High School in Midland, Michigan found an unusual way toraise money for their robotics team.Every year, 28 students on the Blitz Creek team take part in a national roboticscompetition, where students are challenged to create a robot that can perform certain tasks.They design robots, build them, and write the programs that run them.But building robots isn't cheap. Maxton Herst joined the team in the ninth grade, and later he became the captain of the robotics team. By accident, Maxton Herst saw a video abouta toilet paper pyramid. Maxton realized that it was possible to build a record-settingpyramid, and then sell the toilet paper to get money for their program. All the teammembers agreed to try his idea.Blitz Creek has been planning the pyramid since last May. One challenge was calculating （计算）how many rolls of paper were needed. The answer turned out to be 27，434.In late December, team members gave up part of their winter holiday to build the pyramid.The pyramid was so big that they had to build it from the inside before backing out and filling in the areas where they had been standing. It took about 16 hours, with many people working, to complete the pyramid. The final height of the pyramid was 4.95 meters tall, which is about 61 centimeters taller than the current（当前的）Guinness World Record.The pyramid opened for viewing on January 4，2020. Sadly, because the pyramid was in the school's front hall, it could only stay for three days. With all the excitement caused by the pyramid, it turned out to be fairly easy to sell the toilet paper. Many supporters did help. Families and teachers bought half of the paper. A large company bought the rest. The team made about ＄10，000 from the event, which will help pay for its activities.Maxton talks about the success of his crazy idea. "If you've got an idea, and you know that this idea is good, push it," he says. "Don't stop."What did the students at Bullock Creek High School raise money for？______What did the students do to get money？______How much money did the students make______Who were the supporters？______What made Maxton's idea successful？______五、书面表达（本大题共1小题，共10.0分）35.从下面两个题目中任选一题，根据中文和英文提示，完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作。

I have forgotten what the argument was about, but Ihave never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believedthat I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what colour the object was. To my surprise, Tony answered “white” I couldn't believe he said the object was white!“Clearly, it was black!”Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the colour of the object.The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what colour the object was. I had to answer, “White. ”It was an object with two differently coloured sides—from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?”The teacher smiled at us.Tony has been my best friend ever since.My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day: When you disagree with others, you'd better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking.24. What did the teacher do at first?A. She shouted at the boys.B. She called the boys' parents.C. She walked out of the classroom.D. She brought the boys to her desk.25. How did the writer feel when Tony answered “white” in Paragraph 2?A. Pleased.B. Surprised.C. Afraid.D. Thankful.26. From this lesson, the writer has learned that ________________.A. great minds think the same B burn the candle at both endsC. stand in other people's shoes D many hands make light workCKids are born for science. This idea may surprise you because science seems difficult to learn. Yet it really holds water and science learning is likely to make a great difference in kids' lives.The basic science is a mixture of thought and experiment called the scientific method. It's where you start with an idea, create a way to explain your idea, and show what you learned based on facts. Learning to follow this process helps you think logically (逻辑地)and carefully. These important thinking skills can be used in many areas of study To give a child practice with these thinking skills is like giving vitamins (维生素)to a developing mind.One of the greatest things we can teach our children is to love learning. Learning science is a great way to do so. Children are intrigued by science because much of science is hands-on. It attracts most children. Nothing makes a child sit up and take notice like the “WOW!”of a great science showing.Science opens doors to many subjects at school. Building love for science can be helpful in other areas of study. For example, one cannot love science for very long without becoming good at its language—math! So, science encourages children to study math. An interest in science is an interest in how. things were once understood compared to how they are understood now. As a result, studying science lends itself easily to studying history. And after you do an experiment, you need to write a lab report. So, writing becomes an important part of science.Science is the basic thing far much of our life. The science of farming shows how our food is produced; biomedical (生物医学的) science keeps us healthy; even our beds these days are designed according to scientific facts. We almost eat, sleep and breathe with the help of science! When we prepare the future voters (选民), creators and officials, it is important to make sure they-are not only comfortable but also good at science.27. The expression “are intrigued by” in Paragraph 3 probably means“_____________”.A. are interested inB. are satisfied withC. are good atD. are busy with28. The writer probably agrees that ______________.A. children usually consider science boringB. science is too difficult for children to understandC. learning science can improve children's thinking skillsD. children who are good at writing can learn science well29. What is the passage mainly about?A. Why kids should learn science.B. How kids can make use of science.C. Why science is important for officials.D. What future voters should learn at school.DLike many writers, I'm a top master at procrastination (拖延症) .When I should be working on a task, with the clock ticking towards mydeadline, I'll sit there watching meaningless interviews or cat videos onthe Internet.According to the traditional thinking—I, along with my friend procrastinators, have a time management problem. By this view, I haven't fully understood how long my task is going to take and I'm not paying enough attention to how much time I'm actually wasting on videos. With better scheduling (时序安排), I will stop procrastinating and get on with my workIncreasingly, however, psychologists (心理学家) are realizing this is wrong.Researchers in the UK have showed that procrastination is a matter with managing our emotions, not our time. The task we're putting off is making us feel bad—perhaps it's boring, too difficult or we're worried about failing—and to make ourselves feel better in the moment, we start doing something else, like watching videos.One research to encourage the emotional view of procrastination was published by researchers at Case Western Reserve University. They first made people feel bad(by asking them to read sad stories)and showed that this increased their repeated habit to procrastinate by playing video games instead of preparing for the test they knew was coming. Following studies by another team also showed feeling down only makes people procrastinate more if they have fun things to divert (分做)their attention.This fresh view on procrastination is beginning to open up exciting new methods to reducing the habit A method, which is based on Acceptance. end Commitment Therapy (接纳与承诺疗法), seems especially proper. It argues that ordering choices and actions that help you get closer to get things done can keep you away from the unpleasant feelings. So the next time you're going to procrastinate, make your focus as simple as “What's the next action?”Focusing on this one-step question takes your mind off your feelings and onto easily achievable action. “Our research and lived experience show very clearly that once we get started, usually we're able to keep going. Getting started is “everything” .30. Traditionally, we think procrastinators are those who ______________.A. are usually responsible peopleB. have difficulty managing timeC. enjoy watching videos while writingD. can get work done with better organization31. What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A. how emotions lead to procrastination.B. procrastination improves your moodsC. Test-takers can not escape bad emotions.D. Procrastinators prefer games to sad stories.32. Why does the writer suggest focusing on one simple questionA Because it shortens the process.B. Because it may reduce unpleasant feelings.C. Because it can fix time management problem.D. Because it encourages the wildest imagination.33. What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A. To introduce new studies about procrastination.B .To compare different reasons for procrastination.C. To discuss what effect procrastination brings about.D. To explain how good time management matters in life.2022年北京市朝阳区中考一模英语试卷三、阅读单选During ancient times, children didn’t have smart phone, iPad or computer to have fun.

And he recognized the need to give something to his son so that he could take care of himself.One day, the man said to his son, “I want you to find the real purpose of your life.” Then he handed his son a map and asked him to find the treasure.The son set out the next day. Along the way, he met a lot of people. Some helped him with food, and some with shelter（住所）. Finally, after a long year, he reached the place. But he found nothing.On his way back, he went through the same places. But this time, he stopped to enjoy the beauty of nature. He learned how to hunt, cook, and protect himself from wild animals. He met the same people who had helped him earlier, and this time he helped them in return.When he reached home, he apologized（道歉）to his father for not finding the treasure.“There wasn’t any treasure, my son,” the man answered with a smile.“But why did you send me to find it?” he asked.Instead of answering the question, the father said, “how was your journey to the place?”“I didn’t enjoy it at all！Because I was in a hurry looking for the treasure. But I did enjoy the journey on my way back home. I made many friends and I learned so many skills, which made me forget the pain of not finding the treasure.”His father said to him, “now I think you have found your life’s true purpose. I want you to lead your life with a goal. But if you remain too focused（专注）on your goal, you will miss out the real treasure of life, that is, to just experience it and grow with it every single day.”24．The son set out on the journey because he wanted to _________.A．travel around B．experience life C．find the treasure D．help other people 25．When he returned home and saw his father, the son felt _________.A．excited B．sorry C．satisfied D．disappointed 26．The old man told his son the real purpose of life is to _________.A．live life to the fullest B．find many interestsC．develop skills to live in the wild D．never give up searching for treasure Sometimes a little self-criticism is not a bad thing. We all can learn much from our mistakes. However,too much of it may influence your brain and your life.Negative self-talk is that little voice in your head that judges you. It says you are not good enough. It reminds you of all your faults（过错）and mistakes.Dr. Hughes, an educator and a researcher on how the mind controls behavior, noticed that there are some students who are doing all the right things. They are good students. They show up for class. They do their homework. They study hard. But when it comes to taking a test, they do not do well. They may suffer（遭受）from something commo nly called “ test anxiety（焦虑）”.Lindsay was one of Hughes’ best students at a community college. She came to class early, took part in discussions and did all of her homework. However, she did poorly in exams. When Hughes asked her how she felt before a test, she told him she was very nervous. She wondered why she had trouble remembering what she had studied. She said she did not trust that she knew the right answers. This is an example of negative self-talk, which can influence a student’s grades.Dr. Hu ghes took Lindsay’s negative self-talks and turned them into positive （积极的）questions. Before a test, he told Lindsay to say to herself: Why am I so relaxed when I take an exam? Why am I so focused during my exam? Why do I remember everything I study for an exam? Why do I trust my answers?Lindsay took his advice. Two weeks later, she took an exam in another class and scored 15 points higher than she had on an earlier exam. Four weeks later, she earned an “A” on the final exam in Hughes’ class. Lindsay left community college and went to a four-year university. She continued to use the method of positive self-talk. When Dr. Hughes checked up on her a year later, she had good news to share: she had got straight As on all of her exams.Dr. Hughes saw student after student succeed with his method. More importantly, they got their self-confidence back. And he does not just help his students. He also encourages his friends and neighbors to get rid of （摆脱）negative self-talk gradually in their life. In a television interview, he said, “We can program ourselves for success in class or in life, or we can programourselves for failure.”27．What do you know about negative self-talk from the passage?A．It shows your good judgement.B．It harms your brain and your body.C．It helps you correct your faults and mistakes.D．It tells you that you are not excellent enough.28．Why does the writer use the example of Dr. Hughes’ student Lindsay?A．To prove that positive self-talk brings improvements.B．To show that negative self-talk has some bad influence.C．To stress the necessity of asking questions before exams.D．To introduce some good ways to help students and friends.29．Which of the following could be the title of the passage?A．Negative Self-talk Can Hurt YouB．Negative Self-talk Makes You FailC．Positive Self-talk Betters Your GradesD．Positive Self-talk Can Change Your GoalToday, the world is highly competitive. Governments, companies and individuals（个人）are all competing to be the best in the society. It is true that competition leads to better products and services; many people, especially parents, believe that being competitive is helpful for children because it prepares them for the modern world. However, is competition the first thing that our society needs?Schools teach students to compete for better grades, while in businesses, people are better paid for their competitive performances. However, none of them realizes the adverse effects competition has on the society. For two companies in a competition, one will surely lose then disappear, while the other remains stronger in the market. If this is popular in a country, the number of companies may drop, and then the economy（经济）gets worse. Besides, competition may result in distrust in society.Cooperation（合作）presents a different picture. Competition breaks relationships, while cooperation strengthens relationships. When we cooperate with others, we meet new people, we get to know new things, we share thoughts, we help each other and we succeed together.Cooperation focuses on the growth and development of everyone, as many people work together toward a common goal. This way, everyone is equally（相同地）developed.The processes of cooperation have played an important role in shaping the history. Let’s discuss the example of UN（United Nations）.The UN’s calling is to keep world peace and create harmony（和谐）.All nations have cooperated and will keep cooperating with one another to fight for a better future for the whole world.Sports also provide us with a best example of cooperation. Think about how all members of the team forget who they themselves are and work only for the benefit of the team. Although sports are competitive by nature, when there is cooperation between the members, they encourage and support each other, and they get a greater chance of winning.The development of both society and individual today depends on not just healthy competition but cooperation. Unfortunately, people are not taught cooperative skills at an early age, and this has encouraged a cultur e of competition in today’s society. The skills of cooperation should be included in the educational system for children in their early ages. This way, children grow up into adults who value and welcome cooperation, which brings out the best in us. 30．According to the passage,competition causes ________.A．helpful suggestions and ideas B．excellent products and services C．responsible children and parents D．confident performances and voice 31．What does the underlined word “adverse” in Paragraph 2 probably mea n? A．Supportive. B．Various. C．Confusing. D．Harmful 32．What can we learn from the passage?A．The economy can grow rapidly in competition.B．Kids should not just learn the skills of competition.C．UN was set up to call on people to create competition.D．Sportsmen should not be cooperative to win the game.33．The writer probably agrees that _________.A．people should value competition more than cooperationB．people can perform better in competition than cooperationC．people can benefit more from cooperation than competitionD．people should depend more on competition than cooperation2021年北京市朝阳区中考一模英语试卷The Blog of Zhao XinHow to Learn EnglishBy Zhao Xin April 6, 2021Hi!

He was a 12-year-old hero to all the people.Andrew was on the road with his mother, when a car drove into a metal barrier（金属屏障）. The family’s car fell down a hill into the canal, and landed with its wheels up. Andrew 12, then jumped into the water and swam towards the car. He saw the whole family was still in the car in the water. He took a deep breath and swam through a broken window to save first the boy Mike.Andrew freed Mike and then tried to get Rosie who was under the cold, cloudy water, in the car. Andrew had to feel for her seatbelt because he could not see anything. He took the seatbelt off her, and then went up for air. Finally he went back to pull her out of the car, and Rosie was saved successfully. The parents were badly hurt in the accident and were saved by the police.Andrew’s mother said: “After I got help on the phone and looked back, I found Andrew had gone. Then suddenly I saw him come up out of the water like a dolphin, and I could see he had the girl, I was so proud of my son.”Andrew said: “I didn’t think about it and only knew I had to get them out. I w as frightened, but it was all happening so fast. And I really had no time to think about the danger.”To Andrew’s mother, he was only a 12-year-old son, out to other people, he is the symbol of courage.24．Where was Andrew when the car drove into a metal barrier?A．In the car. B．In the canal. C．On the road. D．On the hill 25．How many people did Andrew save from the canal in the accident?A．1 B．2 C．3 D．426．What did people think of Andrew?A．Brave B．Honest C．Serious D．HardworkingDoes your sense of hearing, smell, and touch become better after you go blind? In the past, some philosophers (哲学家) said that blind people had “supernormal” powers of hearing andtouch. Today, it’s common in films to have a blind character with some ki nd of super-sense ability: one of the most famous is the blind superhero Daredevil, who hears birds flying miles away from him, and follows bad people with his super smell.So maybe it’s no wonder that this is a common question, according to L. Penny Rosen blum, the Director of Research for the American Foundation for the Blind. But, she says, the answer is no: “People who are blind do not have better hearing. Since they cannot depend on their eyes as the sighted people, they use hearing to compensate for th e loss of sight.”In other words, a blind person’s senses aren’t better than a sighted person’s. But a person feeling the world mostly through hearing and touch is better at simply noticing and identifying (辨别) different sounds and sensations (感觉). Having a walk in a busy street, a sighted person notices the bright flashing signs on nearby shops, the colors of people’s clothing and the size and shape of the buildings ahead of them-all of these tell them where they are, how fast they’re going, and what’s coming ahead. “On a walk down a city sidewalk, a blind person would probably notice the sounds of traffic (cars, trucks, motorcycles), the footsteps and conversations of the people, and the sounds from the buildings, says Deborah Atein, of the National Federation of the Blind of Illinois. Those sounds and textures achieve the same thing for someone who’s blind as colors and lights do for a sighted person.Think of it this way: if you’re sighted and have ever felt your way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, you might have noticed that all the sounds and sensations of the house seem much more noticeable in the dark, without your eyes distracting (分散注意力) you-the ticking clock in your room, the noise of the fridge through the hall. The cold tile (地砖) under your feet tells you that you’re in the bathroom. Finally, you go back to your bed successfully. You’ve guided all the way back without much help from your eyes-and without super-senses!27．The words “compensate for” in Paragraph 2 probably mean “ ________“.A．send for B．make up for C．stand for D．set off for 28．Which of the following can help a blind person walk down a city sidewalk?A．The conversations of the people. B．The shape of the buildings.C．The signs on nearby shops. D．The colors of traffic lights. 29．According to the passage, the writer probably agrees that ________.A．sighted people’s senses become worse after going blindB．sighted people guide the way with the help from hearingC．blind people’s senses are much better than sighted people’sD．blind people have no super powers of hearing and touchScientists know that our weight, mental health and immune (免疫) system are connected to our sleep habits. So are your grades-to a surprising degree, a new study finds. It showed that sleep caused for nearly one-fourth of the difference among students’ grades in a class. So even if you spend hours studying for a test but get too little and inconsistent (不一致的) sleep, you might still do poorly. And boys with poor sleep habits appeared to suffer (遭受) most.Jeffrey Grossman, a scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge wanted to test sleep in the real conditions. People’s sleep timetables are often disordered and unpredictable. He wanted to see if the sleep connects performance even when a study was done with people who kept regular timetables at home. To find out, his team turned to Fitbits. These wristbands can follow how long people sleep and how often they wake up.The researchers invited 100 around 18-year-old students. Each got a Fitbit to wear all term long. At the end of the term, the scientists looked at the st udents’ sleep data (数据). They paid attention to patterns (模式) in the days and weeks before exams. They then compared those patterns to the students’ test scores. The results showed the importance of sleep for students.As expected, teens who stirred (微动) a lot during the night were likely to perform poorly. The same went for those who didn’t get enough sleep. But how much someone slept the night before an exam didn’t affect that person’s grade. So, is pulling an all-nighter before the big test okay? No, it turns out. That’s because there was a third important factor: consistency of sleep a week and even a month before an exam. That means “a student who sleeps seven hours at night, every night, will do better than a student who sleeps 7. 5 hours one night and 6.5 another night,” Grossman says. That was true even when both students got the same amount and quality (质量) ofsleep.Sleep length, quality and consistency together caused 24.4 percent of the difference among the students’ test grades. And these factors appeared especially important for boys. Grossman’s team is not sure why. But boys who didn’t get enough sleep or regular sleep were likely to do worse on an exam than girls who had similar sleep patterns.Helping students get more sleep depends in part on schools starting their days later. But it also comes down to students making sleep a higher priority (优先权). That may require getting more sleep and limiting late evening use of phones and other screens. Even with extracurricular activities, schoolwork and a social life, you need to get your sleep.30．The researchers used Fitbits to ________.A．help the students sleep well B．predict the students’ sleep length C．improve the students’ grades D．collect the students’ sleep data 31．What can we learn from the research?A．Students with the same quality of sleep have no difference in grades.B．Students who sleep for more hours are likely to have higher grades.C．Boys with poor sleeping habits appear to suffer more than girls.D．Staying up before a big test can make a good result in grades.32．According to the writer, the students should ________.A．put sleep in the first placeB．wear wristbands to keep healthyC．pay more attention to test scoresD．compare sleep patterns to their performance33．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A．Sleep: Is quality important? B．Sleep: Does it influence grades? C．Sleep: Is 7.5 hours enough? D．Sleep: Does it depend on schoolwork?答案：2023年北京市朝阳区中考一模英语试卷(A)21. C 22. D 23. B(B)24. D 25. B 26. C。

Iwould open my mouth with a beautiful song in my head, fully expectingmy voice to follow suit — only to get an awful tone (音调）in return.Still, without a second thought, I continued to try to sing wheneverpossible. On car journeys, when my now twenty something sons weresmall, they would make a great play ( hands over their ears， shouting‘ No，Mum，stop!’) of going through punishment as I sang along to the radio.Never in a hundred years would I have thought about joining a choir. And when I did finally become a member of my first choir 15 years ago, something fantastic happened to my life. From the first time I experienced my voice as something special but also comfortable, in harmony (和谐）with the other singers, I lost my heart to singing. It was like falling in love. And everyone in the choir had the same shining smiles and bright eyes — singing made them feel happy, too.Although it is singing itself that makes me happy，it is also how a choir works together. There is something magical about breathing together. The voice of everyone singing quietly together is powerful and excitingly mysterious (神秘的），almost spiritual.And there’s the unexpected friendship from the activities we do as a choir: raising money for good causes and taking our singing sometimes to places where people are forgotten and sad.I am now a member of six choirs and，if I can，sing every day of the week. I stand in front of several hundred people，and know that some，if not all，of each song will sound not bad at all.24. What did the writer’s sons think of her singing when they were small?A. Terrible.B.

Singing in front of hundreds of people.CParents and children often face the challenges of money. Common topics include setting the pocket money， learning to save， and deciding on expensive purchases. The goal of most parents is to teach their kids how to manage money wisely. The goal of most kids is getting money to spend. How can families balance these goals?“All parents hope they’ll raise a money-savvy kid, who’ll grow up to be an adult wise in their money use.” says financial (金融的）planner Peg Eddy. The key is letting kids learn by having a little money of their own.The Tidier family in Denver found the best way to teach about money was to let their kids earn some. Their son, Ryan, 17, has been helping with their garden since he was 8. Now he has been able to save $7,800. Ryan has come to see the value in making his own money even when other kids are given money by their parents.Learn Now, Save LaterMoney skills are an important part of becoming a successful adult. David Brady, another financial planner, says, “Young people today will have much more responsibility for their financial future than their parents or grandparents.”Brady does remind kids. “They shouldn’t be thinking about money all the time，” he says. However, they should understand basic rules for earning, saving and investing (投资）.That knowledge is greatly needed. Over the past years, the average credit card debt (债务)of Americans ages 18 to 24 doubled, to nearly $ 3,000. Among high school students, four out of five have never taken a personal-finance class.Talking About ItMany kids want to learn how to manage their money. But parentsthink only about what kids shouldn’t do. Instead, experts say,knowing how to manage money is the best way for kids to getwhat they really want. That means long-term planning and savingfor big expenses like college or a car. It also means thinking of others, by making donations to charity (慈善）.Giselle Lopez, 17, of New York City, learned the hard way. She was over $ 2,000 in debt on her first credit card. Her parents refused to pay, so Giselle got a job. Then she paid the debt off slowly herself. “Now every time I use it, I know that it comes from my own pocket,” Giselle says.“That gives me a sense of responsibility for my actions.”Different kids will have different styles when it comes to money. Teaching them how to use money doesn’t have to mean setting strict rules. When children like Ryan and Giselle have their own money to consider, they can learn to set those rules themselves.27.

Because she had difficulty finishing her job.D. Because she had too many credit cards.29. What is the best title for the passage?A. Saving Matters!B. Parents Rule!C. Classes Work!D. Money Counts!DCities are taking interest in electric scooter-share systems as an affordable transportation to cut down on pollution and traffic jams. The electric scooters, which weigh between 30 and 40 pounds, reach speeds of about 15 mph.In September 2017，Santa Monica, California, became the first U.S. city tohave an electric scooter-share service. Users find and unlock one of the more than1，000 scooters with a smartphone app. A ride costs $ 1，and then 0.15 cents foreach minute of riding throughout the beach town.Bird, the startup operating the scooter-share, picks up the scooters everynight to them, and places them around Santa Monica each morning ready for people’s use. The company was created by Travis VanderZanden, who once worked in Uber and Lyft, after he realized ridesharing services failed to help with traffic jams and air pollution. Since its September 2017 beginning, Bird’s system has served more than 50,000 riders who have taken 250,000 trips — more than half of which have been in the last month. It’s since expanded (扩张) to Venice, California, and some neighborhoods in Los Angeles and San Diego. Bird plans to expand to lots of markets by the end of 2018.Competitors， backed by millionaires， are appearing. Two bike-share startups LimeBike and Spin, have spoken of plans to provide electric scooters in cities this year.Electric scooters have also gotten the attention of Mayor Pete Buttigieg from South Bend，Indiana. The city is interested in using them as a way to improve public transportation. South Bend was one of the first to use bike-share systems, which allow people to park ridesharing bikes on public land. “We love to be early pioneers，” said Buttigieg. “If we work out the safety problem, we would be open to welcoming the technology.”“We need to make sure these new transportation systems are lawful and safe for users，”Constance Farrell，a spokeswoman for the city of Santa Monica told CNN. “We would like to see electric scooters continue to operate in the city. They are in line with our goal of multi-modal living and carbon-light living. ” According to Farrell，there have been eight accidents, including one with a serious head injury， in Santa Monica after the scooters rolled out. Users are required to have a driver’s license (驾照），shouldn’t ride on sidewalks or have other passengers on board.Bird has given out free helmets to some riders and tells its users to ride in bikelanes, but some users ride on sidewalks, and most U.S. streets don’t havebike lanes.“The global community of cities is going to have to work this all out forscooters，”Buttigieg said. “They can move unbelievably quickly. That’sexciting，and a little dangerous. ”30. Why did Travis create Bird company?A. Because he received support from millionaires and the government.B.
