Lin takes her role as the "big sister" seriously. When her first sister was born, Lin took turns with her mom holding the baby late into the night. "I almost did everything that was supposed to be a parent's job, but I felt proud of myself," she said.Not all of Lin's classmates shared her experiences because of the family planning policy（政策）. The one-child policy has been carried out in China for about forty years. But the situation has changed. A new policy made on October 29 said all couples can now have two children.The new policy is expected to help raise the population of China. Recently, China has been facing an aging population and working-people shortages because of the low birth rate（比率）. The two-child policy may also be the gift for every only child. Researchers found thatgrowing up with a brother or sister can have good influence on one's mental（心理）health. "Brothers and sisters do matter in unique ways. They give kids something that their parents don't," Laura Walker, a professor from Beijing University, told China Daily. She noted that having a brother or a sister protects teenagers against loneliness, fear and so on.Liu Fang, 20, from Shenzhen University, has a 2-year-younger sister. When her sister disagreed with parents over choosing a college major, she helped her to communicate with her parents. "If necessary, I would always support her," said Liu. "The best part of having a sister is that you have a partner, friend and supporter throughout your life.""But children with brothers or sisters also have to learn to understand and look after each other," said Laura.（1）There are ______ children in Lin Xiao's family.A threeB fourC fiveD six（2）The one-child policy caused some problems except ______.A the aging populationB working-people shortageC the populationgrowth D the low birth rate（3）What does the underlined word "unique" in paragraph 4 possibly means ______ in Chinese.A 独特的B 相同的C 对立的D 相反的（4）We can infer from the article that ______.A Lin Xiao doesn't like her sisterB Liu Fang has a 2-year-old sisterC Laura is against the two-child policyD The one-child policy is out of date now（5）What is the passage mainly about?A Brothers and sisters are good for us.B The family planning policy is bad.C The two-child policy helps raise the population.D China has been facing an aging population.4.The following are some people's opinions on using cell phones.I believe that cell phones are not to be used while driving. One site said that talking on a cell phone while driving had the same results of drunk driving accidents! Also I think it is very impolite to use your phone in a public place! Once I was in a doctor's office, and people were very quiet. A woman's cell phone started ringing. After what seemed a million rings, she started to talk on her little "toy", annoying everyone.—Chelsea from the USThe cell phone would be a great thing if we used it in the right way. Unfortunately most of us don't use it in the right way because we talk with our friends for hours and hours, and that's something we can do better if we have a coffee together. The use of the cell phone in this way is dangerous for the development of good communication. We need to think twice about how we are using cell phones.—Graciela Flores form MexicoOnce when I was studying in the library, I was reading my book. Suddenly, a cell phone rang. Iwas so annoyed because those students didn't have good manners in public. I looked at them in anger, but they didn't pay attention. Nowadays, many young students use cell phones everywhere in my country just for talking to their friends. It keeps students from studying. —Seung-Hye Lee from KoreaI think cell phones should be banned（禁止）in cars and airplanes. It is very clear that people's attention is diverted if they talk on cell phones while they are driving. The numberof car accidents caused by drivers, using cell phones has risen, so people should not use them when they are driving. Also, it is dangerous to use them in airplanes because the phone signals can interrupt the airplane's signal system.—Yian Ma from China（1）What does Chelsea probably agree with?A Cell phones shouldn't be used in public.B The woman is suffering from a bad disease.C Having a drink is exactly like using a cell phone.D The rings of the cell phones are wonderful.（2）Who holds that it is harmful to talk on the cell phone for a long time?A Yian Ma.B Chelsea.C Graciela Flores.D Seung-Hye Lee.（3）According to Seung-Hye Lee, what's the bad effect of young students' using cell phones?A It is dangerous for the development of good communication.B They are kept away from their studies.C They can't read books in the library.D They can't talk to their friends as they like.（4）People that think using cell phones while driving may lead to accidents are from ______.A Korea and the USB Mexico and ChinaC the US and MexicoD China and the US（5）What is the passage mainly about?A Cell phones can be used in different ways.B How to use cell phones whiledriving. C Cell phones should be used properly. D People quarreled over using cell phones.5.Roald Dahl was one of the most successful writers of children's books. He sold millions of books all over the world.

Ifs no secret that your personal characteristics directly affect how you interact with the world—but you might be surprised at just how deep it goes.Experts think that your personality can even affect how you exercise and influence what sports are suitable for you.Highly SensitiveHighly sensitive people may be more uncomfortable with group exercise classes or team sports where they feel their every move is being observed.Additionally,they may feel more upset over an ineffective or poor workout,says researcher Elaine Aron.For such people,individual or non-competitive activities like biking,running and hiking are ideal.Type A PersonalityType A individuals often have an4t all or nothing approach71to exercise.This personality type is known for sticking closely to their plan,not to mention being super competitive.However,this can cause them to stick too closely to a fitness routine,which means they might try to push past an injury.To get better exercise results,Type A people need to be aware that following an exercise plan too strictly may limit their progress.They should be more flexible and listen to their body, especially when they are in pain.Type B PersonalityThis laid-back group may get too lazy about their exercise plan,which prevents them from seeing results.They are often less willing to deVote enough time and energy to their fitness goals, especially if exercise is something that makes them anxious.Type B individuals succeed in creative and co-operative environments,so team sports and group gym classes may be perfect.Remember,there are plenty of ways you can adapt a fitness plan to suit your needs, regardless of your characteristics.Just keep in mind what you like.21.Why might highly sensitive people be unwilling to take part in group sports?A.They will feel like they are being evaluated.B.They don't like socialising with other people.C.They don't consider themselves to be athletic.D.They fear they511be let down by their teammates.22.Type A personalities can be best described as_.mittedB.flexibleC.independentD.sensitive23.What is the purpose of the text?A.To help people understand what personality type they are.B.To explain how personal characteristics affect exercise habits.C.To identify the dangers of doing the wrong type of exercise.D.To describe diflcrent types of workouts that are available today.typical pre-teen.She loves to skip rope,read and play with her younger sister.But this modest youngster,who composed her first musical work at age six,first short opera at age seven,and first full-length opera based on Cinderella at age ten,is anything but average.Though her parents downplay her extraordinary talent,young Alma is being described as"little Mozart"by the music world.Alma's operatic take on the classic fairy tale,which she began writing at age eight,has a slight twist.Her Cinderella is a musician who meets her Prince Charming through a song.t4In my Cinderella,she sings the beginning of a ballad—but at midnight she flees.Eventually,the prince finds her after asking all the maidens of the land to sing the end of the ballad.^^ The opera was first performed in Vienna,Austria on December29,2016,where the then eleven-year-old skillfully switched between the piano and the violin and received enthusiastic reviews. The young genius has since performed two new piano works,one in Austria and the other in China.While this may appear to be a lot for someone so young,Alma is not worried.She says,"Of course1have to work hard.But all children have to work hard for exams,and at least when I work hard,I work hard for something incredibly exciting,like seeing my whole opera put on stage."Alma's musical talent first came to light before she could even talk.Her parents recall that as an18-month-old toddler,she was able to hum a pitch perfect version of the children's rhyme Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.However,Alma's abilities only gained international attention in2012,after a family friend posted a video online comparing her to Mozart.The family was suddenly swamped with media requests and Alma became an overnight star,dubbed/'little Mozart".This nickname makes her parents unhappy because they believe it puts added pressure on the young girl.They would instead prefer her to be called“a composer and musician^^.Alma does not want to be compared to the famous artist either,saying,'There was only one Mozart,and I prefer to be little Alma."Regardless of what she calls herself,the twelve-year-old is changing the world of music forever!24.What do we know about Alma Deutscher?A.She comes from a famous musical family.B.She has shown great musical talent from a young age.C.She regularly performs the classical music of Mozart.D.She has adapted some famous works of classical music.25.How did Alma get to be widely known?A.Through an online video.B.By performing on television.C.By putting on an opera.D.Through her parents*promotion.26.What is Alma's attitude towards her success?A.She is still unsatisfied with her performance.B.She is uncomfortable with so much pressure.C.She is modest about her musical achievements.D.She is proud to have become a professional musician.27.What can we infer about Alma's parents?A.They are very well-educated people.B.They are protective of their daughter.C.They have pushed Alma to take up music.D.They have made a good life plan for Alma.cThe belief that new technologies are causing the death of work is the idea that never goes away.Despite evidence to the contrary,we still view technological change today as being more rapid and dramatic in its consequences for work than ever before.But this is nothing new.People have always viewed the technological changes that take place during their lives as the most dramatic and dangerous that ever have happened in history.In the1930s,the British economist（经济学家）John Maynard Keynes predicted the widespread use of electricity would produce a world where people spent most of their time doing nothing.In the United States during the1960s,the government repeatedly investigated fears that automatic machines would permanently reduce the amount of work available.In1988,one Australian historian claimed that at least a quarter of the workforce would be without jobs within10years because of computers.Of course,none of these disasters came to pass in the United Kingdom,the United States and Australia,or anywhere else.Yet today,we are seeing the return of these predictions,with some experts claiming the world of work is once more undergoing radical and unprecedented change.They argue that robots and other workplace technologies are causing a reduction in the total amount of work available,or are bringing a more rapid pace of substitution of machines for humans than has been seen previously.But there is little evidence to support such beliefs.Statistics show that the percentage of people in work,the number of hours they work,and how frequently they change jobs have remained remarkably constant over the past20years.This stability should not come as a surprise.There are good reasons why we should not expect new technologies to cause the death of work.New technologies always cause job losses, but that is only part of the story.What also needs to be understood is how they increase the amount of work available.One way this happens is through the increases in incomes that accompany the use of new technologies.With the introduction of these technologies,goods and services can be produced faster,which results in higher real incomes for workers.Higher incomes then increase demand for other products and consequently more workers are needed to make them.Additionally,while new technologies are likely to substitute for some types of workers,they will also increase demand for other types of workers,especially those with higher level skills and expertise.So,the end of work is no closer today than at any time in the past.But there is still a need to keep disproving the prediction,to reduce people's fears.28.What is the function of the second paragraph?A.To explain the importance of developing new technology.B.To show how technology affected employment in the past.C.To argue that technological dangers are becoming more serious.D. To give historical examples of unnecessary fear about new technology.29.How can employment statistics over the past20years best be described?A.Confusing.B.Reliable.C.Stable.D.Variable.30.According to paragraph7,why does demand for products often increase after new technology isintroduced?A.There are more goods for people to choose from.B.There is more demand for new skills in the economy.C.Productivity improvements help raise workers*salaries.D.Higher quality goods at lower prices encourage consumption.31.What is the author's opinion about the introduction of new technology?A.It does not have an effect on most people's jobs.B.Its benefits are usually not worth the introduction.C.It usually leads to a significant increase in employment.__Supermarket shelves are filled with plant-based alternatives to cow milk,including soy,nut, and coconut milk.These products are popular with consumers who cannot drink cows'milk for health reasons,as well as with those concerned about animal welfare and environmental sustainability.While the dairy-free（非乳制的）options work well with cereal or in coffee,they fail miserably when it comes to making milk-based products like cheese or yogurt.However,these shortcomings may soon be a thing of the past,thanks to a new company in California,which has figured out how to create animal-free milk in a laboratory!Perumal Gandhi and Ryan Pandya founded the company in2014after becoming increasingly annoyed with the lack of cows'milkalternatives,particularly for cheese.For Gandhi,who stopped consuming animal products five years earlier due to environmental and animal welfare concerns,the motivation to create a better alternative stemmed from his love of cheesy pizza.Pandya was spurred into taking action after being forced to eat some^really bad" dairy-free cream cheese on his sandwich.The two MIT biomedical engineering scientists decided to join forces to create a more realistic alternative to dairy-based products.In their university lab,the pair spent nine months first isolating cow DNA then inserting it into yeast（酵母）.This genetic modification enabled the yeast to produce the necessary milk proteins.The final step of the process involved mixing the proteins with some plant nutrients and fats.The dairy milk not only tastes like the real thing but is also healthier,has a longer shelflife and,most important of all,is Earth friendly.According to the company's website,when compared to conventional milk production,their process uses65%less energy,creates84%less greenhouse gas emissions and requires91%less land and an amazing98%less water!Best of all,since it contains real milk proteins,the product behaves like the cow-produced version,which means vegetarian consumers will no longer have to deal with soggy cheese on their sandwiches and pizzas.The company plans to bring their creation to market later this year and their first product will most likely be cheese since there are already numerous good cows'milk alternatives available to i32.The underlined word"those"in paragraph1refers to_______.A.alternativesB.peopleC.productsD.reasons33.The company^founders were motivated to make the new product because of______.A.their deep concern for the environmentB.their worry that farm animals were poorly treatedC. the over-consumption of the dairy-based productsD.the poor taste of dairy-free cheese presently available34.What can be inferred from paragraph4?A.The dairy-free products cannot be stored for a long time.B.The new products will taste better than dairy-based ones.C. Cow farming causes considerable environmental damage.D.The dairymilk will be more expensive than cow's milk.35.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A.Healthier CheeseB.New Milk Saves PlanetC.

few minutes．She quickly helped Manu get ready and helped him get on his school bus．"Phew!Manu didn't miss his bus today．Akhila sighed and thought to herself．"What should I do with this boy？Manu neither wakes up on time nor completes any of his daily tasks at the right time．It's time to teach him a lesson．"The next morning，Akhila was in the kitchen as usual．Everything seemed normal in the

school．"He couldn't stop crying．"I have a maths test today and Madam Mangat will punish me if I miss her class and the test!"Madam Mangat was the strictest teacher in Manu's school．The fear of m issing her class made Manu cry even louder．"Mamma，what should I do now？Please help．I promise I will wake up every day on time．" Akhila could no longer see her son crying and said，"Just promise me one

drives our eating．Food for thoughtIn one of the studies，Dr．Wansink made volunteers eat chocolate yogurt in a dark room．He told them the yogurt was with a taste of strawberry even though they were all eating chocolate．Finally，65% of volunteers described the yogurt as having a"nice strawberry flavor!"The research shows that our imagination has an effect on our taste．If you expect a food to taste good，it will．So take a moment before you eat your unpleasant healthy food to r emind yourself that you are eating delicious fish and chips．Our eyes eat firstHow your food looks is just as important as how it tastes．Dr．Wansink gave cakes to three groups of people．The cakes were exactly the same but served in different ways．①Group one got the cake on a nice plate．②Group two got the cake on a paper plate．③Group three got the cake on a piece of paper．Dr．Wansink then asked the people how much they would pay for each cake．Dr．Wansink then asked the people how much they would pay for each cake．①Group one who got the cake on a nice plate would pay $1.27．②Group two who got the cake on a paper plate would pay 76 cents．③Group three who got the cake on a piece of paper would pay 53 cents．Take some time to make your healthy food look amazing．Cut your fruit into a flower shape and put your colourful vegetables on nice plates．This works really well for your appetite （胃口）．Out of sight，out of stomachDr．Wansink also found that when people sat at the desk full of snacks，they ate 71% more of snacks a day than those sitting near a clear table．We eat what we see．As a result，put all the unhealthy food in your fridge．Hide it and make it really hard to get to．The closer bad food is，the more you eat it．31．How many ideas are mentioned in the passage？A.3．B.4．C.5．D.6．32．Why did the

in 2015．In Super Brain IV，he will complete against four people and other clever computer programs．Besides，Xiaodu，Sun Yiting，an eight﹣year﹣old boy with amazing hearing ability also stands on the stage of the show．He says he can correctly tell the height from which a balloon was dropped by listening to the sound of the balloon landing．Another contestant，Wang Feng，is a memory master who broke the world record for speed memorization of cards in a poker game．In the first competition of Super Brain IV，both the humans and Xiaodu will be shown photos of two women when they were four﹣year﹣old babies．They must then pick out the right two adults from a lineup of 20 women who are dressed similarly and have similar haircuts．The listening competition is even more difficult．The contestants need to choose the right person from 21 singers as they are all singing together，just according to a three﹣second mp3．Baidu is confident that Xiaodu has the ability to do well in this difficult TV test，because the company has paid a h uge amount of money for the study of AI robot and supercomputers，as well as speech，image，and facial recognition．In addition，it is not the first time that Chinese
