Simon was a curious(好奇的) boy. He lived with his grandfather. One night, he secretly entered the store room where his grandfather kept his priceless antiques(古董).

Simon stood on a chair. He lifted the box where his grandfather had kept many wrist-watches. While getting down from the chair，the box slipped out of his hands and fell onto the ? oor. To his shock, he found the glass of his grandfather’s favorite watch broken. Simon got frightened. He picked up the pieces of glass. He put the broken watch back into the box and placed the box back on the shelf. He could not sleep that night.

The next morning, Simon got up early. He gathered courage to go and admit his mistake to his grandfather. He told grandfather everything. The grandfather looked thoughtful. He did not say anything and went over to the store room. Simon kept standing with his head down.

Having returned from the store room the grandfather said to Simon, “I felt very angry when you had broken my precious watch. Your grandmother gifted it to me on our ? rst wedding anniversary. But you need not worry. Only the glass is broken. I shall have it replaced.”

Simon felt relieved(释然的). After some time, his grandfather went into the kitchen and brought a glass of milk to him. And said, “It was brave enough of you to tell me the truth. You knew that I would scold(责骂) you, didn’t you?”

Simon said, “I was scared at ? rst. But I didn’t want to tell a lie. I should not have touched your things without your permission.”

“Don’t be scared to own up your mistake.” Grandfather said, “It is brave to ad m it your mistake. You may be scared of being scolded. But it is the only way for you to be free from guilt(愧疚).”

B. A chair.

C. A watch.

When thinking of ways to relax in life, usually things

like yoga, jogging and music come to mind. These are great,

to be sure. But getting a friend can also have many bene? ts.

While human friends provide great social support, furry

friends like cats and dogs can come with some great bene? ts.

Pets can improve people’s mood. For those who love animals, it’s actually impossible to stay in a bad mood when a pair of loving puppy eyes meets yours, or when a super-soft cat rubs up against your hand. The study found that people with AIDS were less likely to su? er from deep sadness if they owned a pet.

Pets also encourage people to get out and exercise. Whether people walk their dogs because they need it, or are more likely to enjoy a walk when they have companionship, dog owners do spend more time walking than non-pet owners.

While we all know the power of talking about your problems with a good friend who is a good listener, research shows that spending time with pets may be even better! People actually experience less stress(压力) when their pets are with them than when a supportive friend is present! A recent study performed by Washington State University(WSU) has proved that petting cats and dogs for just ten minutes is an e? ective way to reduce stress levels. The team chose 249 students and put them into four groups. The ? rst group was provided 10 minutes to play with dogs and cats. The second group waited in line while observing the first group. The third group watched a video of the same animals, while the fourth group was just waiting. “What we wanted to learn was whether this exposure(接触) would help students reduce their stress, and it did,” said Patricia Pendry, a professor in WSU.

It’s important to realize that owning a pet isn’t for everyone. It does come with additional work and responsibility, which can bring its own stress. However, for most people, the advantages of having a pet outweigh the drawbacks(缺点). Having a furry best friend can reduce stress in your life and bring you support when times get tough.

27. The study performed by WSU shows that ________.

A. people keep pets for fun

B. animals are good listeners

C. pets are friendlier than humans

D. petting animals helps reduce stress

28. What can we learn from the passage?

A. Pets can help doctors treat AIDS.

B. Dog owners are likely to exercise more.

C. Human friends are more supportive than pets.

D. Pet owners are more responsible than others.

29. What is the purpose of this passage?

A. To give advice on how to keep pets.

B. To draw people’s attention to life stress.

C. To introduce bene? ts of keeping pets.

D. To share ideas on how to reduce stress.

D

If you know a teenager or gamer, you have probably

heard about the latest video game: Fortnite. In the game,

up to 100 players land into a small island with guns, and

then kill or hide from other players in an attempt to be the

lone survivor. The main goal is to kill other players. The popularity of these types of games raises clear questions about the e? ects of violent(暴力的) gaming. Do violent video games lead to real life violence?

The research on this question is mixed. Over the years, researchers have performed studies to ? nd out whether violent video games lead to problems such as aggression(攻击性) and poor performance in school. Many studies have found that people who play violent video games are more likely to be involved in aggressive behavior. In fact, there was enough research leading to this conclusion(结论) that the American Psychological Association published a policy statement in 2015 concluding that playing violent video games leads to more aggressive behaviors.

But many other researchers disagree. Many studies about violent crime and the use of video violent games find no evidence that increased sales of violent video games leads to an obvious growth in violent crimes. Researchers state that if violent games directly led to violent behavior, the data(数据) would show increases in violent crime on a large-scale as more people played violent games. In fact, there is some evidence that as more youth play video games, rates of youth violence have decreased.

A recent analysis ? nds that much of the research on violence and video games is a? ected by publication bias. Studies which drew the conclusions that video games lead to aggression and violence are more likely to be published. However, studies which find violent video games don’t have an effect on violence are seldom to be published. As a result, large reviews of the data conclude violent video games lead to aggression without considering research to the contrary.

So what’s the take-home message here? There is not enough evidence that violent video games lead to aggressive behavior. That does not mean that every game is for every child. Certainly, many violent video games are scary and un? t for some kids. Understanding each child’s needs and creating a plan that sets out rules for media use and monitors kids’ activities on screens are proper solutions.30. The writer mentions the game Fortnite to ________.

A. introduce the latest video game

B. show the popularity of the game

C. lead in the topic of violent gaming

D. share the skills of winning the game

31. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?

A. Harmful e? ects of violent video games.

B. Reasons of playing violent video games.

C. The aggressive behaviors in violent games.

D. The research process of the violent games.

32. The word “bias” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

A. common practice

B. unfair preference

C. unusual experience

D. serious misunderstanding

33. The writer probably agrees that ________.

A. children should stay away from video games

B. violent video games lead to aggressive behaviors

C. crimes increase with the popularity of violent gaming

D. children need to be guided when playing video games

四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）

You might have noticed that sometimes, when you are playing mobile games, the picture suddenly freezes(卡顿) because the network speed is too slow. However, these annoying things will soon become a thing of the past, as China just issued commercial licenses(发放商用牌照) for 5G networks on June 6, 2019. This means that China’s telecommunications companies will be able to o? er 5G network speeds to users.

The “G” in “5G” stands for generation. 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and internet, and 4G made all of these things faster. So what will 5G bring?

It will allow us to download an entire HD movie in seconds. The delay(延时) between sending and receiving data will be shortened. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds, while humans have a reaction time of about 200 to 300 milliseconds. But

5G will get the delay down to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real-time.

With the development of 5G, new kinds of technology will be created and used. Robots will be used to do operations because doctors will be able to control them from somewhere else without any delay. Self-driving cars will be able to drive more safely because they can smoothly communicate with each other, traffic lights and road sensors.

5G networks will be powerful, but not perfect. They do have some disadvantages. On one hand, 5G signals don’t go very far. On 4G networks, you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmission base(传送基站) and don’t lose signal. But 5G maxes out at about 300 meters. On the other hand, 5G signals have a hard time going through walls and rains. This means we will need to build many small transmitters to make sure 5G signals can be received everywhere. Soon you may see small boxes on every street lamp and building.

34. Why does the picture freeze when we are playing mobile games?

35. What does “G” in “5G” stand for?

36. How long will it take to download an entire HD movie with 5G?

37. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

38. What disadvantages do 5G networks have?
