I thought, “I can do that for Montreal.” With little hesitation, I devoted the next five years of my life to the project.I never walked through any shabby (破旧的) neighborhoods. From one end of my map to the other, all houses were well looked after. People went to great lengths to decorate their homes, and with this came one of the great pleasures of my walks: the different measures they took to decorate their frontage (正面). I discovered that pigs are a popular decorative element throughout the city. The type that is dressed up as humans, I mean. I saw pigs wearing dresses, shirts, and even swimming costumes.Every outing has its wonders. Never assume a neighborhood has little of interest to offer. You must be trained to seek out strange things. Otherwise, you might never spot the clothes on the sidewalks. If I stopped to collect everything I saw lying around abandoned, I could fit out a small country. Where did they come from? How did people lose their shoes while walking out ? A puzzle.As my project progressed, I felt like I owned the city. I could get off at any subway station and my feet remembered the route to the best shops. There was enough fun in my walks that I’d have a few laughs and feel more light-hearted than when I left.Anyone can get in on this walking game. I admit with some shame. I used to huddle (蜷缩) in my part of town, feeling isolated, but walking its streets has truly opened my eyes to Montreal’s full menu. Now I’m quite satisfied with what I obtain. So just head to a neighborhood to nose around. I can assure you that you’ll feel like a pioneer with the discoveries you bring back. 4．Why did the author decide to walk the streets of Montreal?A．She wanted to collect strange things.B．She wanted to do some research.C．She had to conduct a project.D．She drew inspiration from an article.5．What do we know about the neighborhoods in Montreal?A．The shabby houses are abandoned.B．People enjoy dressing up as pigs.C．People enjoy decorating their houses.D．All the houses are equal in length.6．What amazed the author during her trips?A．The houses in good condition.B．The clothes left on sidewalks.C．The routes of subway stations.D．The animals walking on the streets.7．How did the author feel on her walk?A．Cheerful and content.B．Excited and energetic.C．Relieved and grateful.D．Puzzled and upset.Jackdaws (寒鸦) are the smallest member of the crow family. They often live in a crowd. Indeed, when cold weather comes, they gather in the hundreds (and sometimes thousands) every evening so that they can sleep in the same place. If you’ve ever heard jackdaws during their evening gatherings and morning departures, you’ll know they are not quiet birds. Despite being fairly low-volume during the day, they are really loud on either side of their night-time get-togethers. Why might this be?A team of the Cornish Jackdaw Project set out to determine why jackdaws are so noisy before they depart from their sleeping spot. The team’s theory was that the morning calls might be a jackdaw version of“voting”. The researchers suspected that each individual’s call might count as an “I’m in!”. When a certain amount of “I’m in!”s are called —and so a certain volume of noise is reached -the group might then depart as a unit.To test this idea, the researchers artificially increased the level of calls during the jackdaws’natural morning calls. Their expectation was that, if jackdaws really are “voting with their voice” to decide when to depart the sleeping site, artificially adding calls would make them leave earlier than they naturally would have done. Subsequent experiments confirmed their expectation. The team therefore showed that jackdaws use their calls as a sort of voting system.You might wonder why this happens. The researchers suggest that individual jackdaws benefit from the voting system because they are less at risk of being killed and they can get more access to social information — such as where to find food.So the loud calls of jackdaws in the morning are therefore not the pure chaos it sounds like. If you are ever being driven mad by the sound in the morning, you can find comfort in the fact that the louder they get, the sooner they will leave you in peace.8．What aspect of jackdaws confused scientists?A．Their strong team spirit.B．Their preference for noisy habitats.C．Their collective sleeping habit.D．Their unusual calling behavior.9．What happened to the jackdaws when artificial calls were added?A．They stopped calling together.B．They left their sleeping spot earlier.C．They became noisier and more active.D．They changed their sleeping location. 10．What does the voting system mean to individual jackdaws?A．A signal of seeking food.B．A strategy for better survival.C．A way to attract potential partners.D．A method of displaying social skills. 11．What can be the best title for the text?A．Jackdaws are Noise Makers.B．Jackdaws Have a Complex V oting System.C．Jackdaws ‘Vote’ to Make a Group Decision.D．Jackdaws ‘V ote’ to Choose Their Group Leaders.It was extremely generous of the people of France to give the American people the Statue of Liberty, especially as the money was raised by donations from the public who recognized what the countries had in common. After all, both nations had fought revolutions to secure their nationhood.Nowadays, it seems as though the gift has been returned with interest with the foundation ofEuro Disney near Paris. Nevertheless, many French people feel it symbolizes a kind of “cultural colonialism (殖民主义)”. To tell the truth, I would not welcome the presence of such a theme park in the middle of England, for the same reason. Mind you, neither England nor France have ever been afraid to export their own culture and values.Anyway, it is not difficult to understand why they chose to build Euro Disney near Paris. It is a geographically logical site, in the center of continental Europe, right by the capital city with its own attractions and so on. All the same, was it a culturally logical decision? There is the issue of “cultural colonialism” which I have already mentioned. What’s more, do the French need Mickey Mouse when they have their own cartoon hero in the form of the brave little Gaul, Asterix? Euro Disney’s rival the Parc Asterix has proved a popular destination for families wanting a day out. By the way, Parc Asterix is an easy drive from Paris too. Millions of dollars have been poured into Euro Disney to provide a top-class attraction but the thing is, can visitors expect an authentic American welcome? The answer must surely be “no”! There again, Euro Disney is a cheaper option for most Europeans than going all the way to the States.All in all I would rather create theme parks which celebrated my own heroes than accept those from elsewhere. In a word, this is because it is not always possible to transport culture — like some wines they do not travel well. In the future I will take my family to Florida to Disney World and the Magic Kingdom.However, until that day arrives we won’t be going to Euro Disney. There is a time and place for everything.12．What is many French people’s attitude toward Euro Disney?A．They are unhappy with it.B．They show no interest in it.C．They warmly welcome it.D．They think it a reward for the Statue ofLiberty.13．Why did the Americans choose to build Euro Disney near Paris?A．It was a culturally logical decision.B．It symbolized the two countries’ friendship.C．There were no theme parks near Paris.D．The location had a geographical advantage. 14．What does the underlined word “rival” in paragraph 3 mean?A．Partner.B．Competitor.C．Neighbor.D．Customer. 15．Which of the following is the author’s opinion?A．Euro Disney can’t provide real American service.B．Parc Asterix is more expensive than Euro Disney.C．Theme parks should accept popular heroes.D．American culture isn’t popular around the world.Sometimes, it’s good to be bored“I am dying of boredom,” complains the young wife Yelena in Chekhov’s 1897 play Uncle Vanya. Of course, if Yelena were around today, we know what she would do: pull out her smartphone and find something fun. Today it is easy to get rid of boredom. 16 That is the finding of two fascinating recent studies. In one, researchers asked subjects to do something boring, like copying out numbers from a phone book, and then take tests of creative thinkings. The result? 17 In the second study, subjects gave more answers to a word test than a non-bored control group after being forced to watch a dull screensaver.“An restless mind hungers for stimulation, so boredom becomes a seeking state,” says Sandi Mann, the psychologist at the University of Central Lancashire. “ 18 ” Parents will tell you that kids with “nothing to do” will eventually invent some fun games to play — with a cardboard box, a light switch, whatever.The problem, the researchers worry, is that these days we don’t struggle to overcome these slow moments. “ 19 ” Mann says. “This might relieve us temporarily, but it shuts down the deeper thinking.” So here is an idea: Instead of always avoiding boredom, embrace and face it. Sometimes, anyway. Mann has found she gets some of her best thinking done when she is driving her car and therefore can’t be distracted by her phone.20 The good type inspires you to see what can come of it. The bad type, in contrast, tires you and makes you feel like you can’t be bothered to do anything. An important part of our modern task, then, is learning to evaluate these different types of boredom — to distinguish the useful kind from the harmful one.A．And there is, of course, bad boredom.B．Bored subjects came up with more creative ideas.C．But what if boredom is a meaningful experience?D．These moments are a lot more valuable than expected.E．Actually, tips on getting away from boredom are countless.F．We try to kill every moment of boredom with mobile devices.G．When not satisfied with your state, you’re seeking and engaged.二、完形填空On a June morning, Nicolo 21 working the whole night at a factory in Turin.

My wife and I went to this vegan（严格的素食主义的） restaurant to give it a try． As we were eating our pepper and salt tofu, a young lady named Debra walked in． She wasn't aware that the place is vegan and was looking for some meat． My wife and I talked up the place and invited her over to try some of our tofu． Debra tried it, nodded and went out．After a few minutes, she and her mother both walked back in． We were having the rest of our meal at that time, so we told her what we had ordered． Debra then asked the waitress to just repeat our order for them． Next , Debra said． "And we want to pay for their meal", pointing to my wife and me． We tried to say no, but Debra wouldn't listen．That was not the end ofit． Hugs were in order． Debra came over to our table and my wife got up to hug her． Debra hugged my wife and put﹩100 into her hand． My wife firmly said NO, but Debra insisted． Debra kept talking about our kindness, and we did the same about hers and her mother's．With tears in the eyes, the workers were blown away by this whole exchange between four strangers．I left the waiters and waitresses a tip that would cover all ofour meals and we were on our way．I've been witnessing so much kindness, especially over the last few years, as I began to pay more attention． We now have a new favorite restaurant and every time we go there my plan is to pay for someone else's meal．（1）Why did Debra go out after trying some tofu？________A.

Too much eating. Too many unhealthy foods. Too many ads for food. Too few activities. Different reasons are given for America’s weight problem---a problem increasingly shared by other countries. Almost one-fifth of American children and teenagers are overweight.Schools have been asked to increase physical education, an important tool for public health. However, a recent study has shown an increase in the number of injuries in P.E. classes.Researchers say one possible reason for this is a decrease in the number of school nurses. Schools without a nurse on duty may be more likely to send an injured child to a hospital.Another possible reason for more injuries is a change in the traditional idea of physical education. Th is “New P.E.” expands the kinds of sports that are taught. But activities that some schools offer now, like rock climbing and skateboarding, can also increase the risks, says Cheryl Richardson, who is with the National Association for Sport and Physical Education(NASPE).She also says not all states require P.E. teachers to be specially trained. Untrained teachers could be less likely to recognize unsafe conditions.Cheryl Richardson points to one of the study’s findings –that injuries are often the result of contact with a person or a structure. This tells her that the teachers were not giving each student enough space to move around safely.Six activities produced seventy percent of all injuries: running, basketball, football, volleyball, rugby and gymnastics.The researchers say larger class sizes are another possible reason for the increase in injuries. Larger classes can mean less supervision(监督). The National Association for Sport and Physical Education says twenty to thirty students in a P.E. class should be the limit.（1）What does the passage mainly discuss?A.What leads to the weight problem in America.B.Whether students should have more P.E. classes.C.Why there have been more injuries in P.E. classes.D.What kinds of activities are safe for school students.（2）We can know from the third paragraph that__________.A.nurses are paid more in hospitals than in schools in America.B.many nurses in American schools don’t have good skills.C.fewer people choose to become a nurse in America.D.American schools need more school nurses at present.（3）Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.P.E. classes become more dangerous for students now in America.B.Fewer and fewer students are interested in P.E. classes in America.C.The number of P.E. teachers in schools must be increased now.D.P.E.classes follow the traditional ideas in physical education.（4）According to Cheryl Richardson,____________.A.students should do more exercise when they are at schoolB.teachers are partly responsible for injuries in P.E. classesC.the equipment for P.E. classes must be improved in all schools.D.P.E.teachers should give students more freedom in their classes4.Have you ever noticed what happens to an idea once you express it? Just talking about it or writing it down causes you to make it clear in your own mind. How can you use this to increase your brain power? Start writing.By putting thoughts into words, you are telling yourself the logic (逻辑) behind what you think, feel, or only partly understand. Often, explaining a thought is the process of understanding. In other words, you increase your brain power by exercising your "explaining power".Try this experiment. Explain how you'll increase your brain power, even if you have no idea how right now. Just start with anything, and create an explanation. For example, start with "I'll learn chess." or "I'II read an article on the mind every week." Explain how that will help. You'll be surprised to find it is a workable plan, and if you actually do this, you'll have a better understanding of your brain from now on.Another benefit of writing is that it helps you remember what you have learnt. Many, if not most, highly productive people are always taking notes. You can try keeping it all in your head, but if you keep a journal of your ideas the next time you're working on a big project, you'll probably have more success.Want to understand a topic? Write a book about it. That's an extreme example, but if you are learning something new, write a letter to a friend about it, and you will understand it better. Want to invent something? Write an explanation of the problem, why you want to solve it, and why it is worth solving, and you're halfway there.Writers don't always write because they clearly understand something beforehand. Often, they write about something because they want to understand it. You can do the same. Writing will help you to understand it. Give it a try.（1）What would be the best title for the text?A.Way on How to WriteB.Increase Your Brain Power through WritingC.Brain Power Helps Improve Your WritingD.How to Start Your Writing（2）According to the text, writing can help you a lot in the following ways EXCEPT ______.A.the increase of your brain powerB.the ability to rememberC.the development of your interest in studyD.the better understanding of a topic（3）If a writer writes something, it means that he or she ______.A.has understood it very wellB.needs to understand it betterC.wants to remember it in his or her mindD.is exercising his or her "explaining power"（4）What's the main purpose of the text?A.To advise readers to start their writing.B.To explain the importance of writing.C.To persuade readers to become writers.D.To increase readers' brain power.二、七选五The Grand Canyon(科罗拉多大峡谷) is a large river canyon in Arizona.

Gov. Ron DeSantis this week signed a law that bans local governments from carrying orders against homeowners from raising veggies in their yards.The law, which takes effect July 1, puts an end to that particular power of towns and cities across the state to prohibit vegetable gardens for “aesthetic（审美的）purposes”.The issue became a cause after a couple living in Miami Shores Village opposed the decision of a $ 50 a day fine for growing vegetables in their front yard, as they’d done for years.Hermine Ricketts and her husband Tom Carroll fought City Hall in a case that wound its way up the state’s court system, with judges consistently ruling against their money-saving and health-conscious project.After the Florida Supreme Court rule d in favor of Miami Shores’ right to control design and landscaping standards, the couple replaced their vegetables with pink flamingos (红鹳花) .Their cause was not lost, however. State lawmakers proposed and passed a law that effectively voids the court rulings, with Rob Bradley, who sponsored the bill, reportedly calling the village’s action a “vast overreach”.The lawmaker noted the difficulty that many families experience getting fresh and affordable food, calling bans against vegetable and fruit gardens ridiculous.About a third of all households in the U. S. grow some of their own food, according to the National Gardening Association. The group says a 600-square-foot garden that costs around $ 70 a year to keep can grow 300 pounds of fresh produce worth about $ 600 annually. 4．Why will some Floridians plant salad fixings?A．To protect the environment. B．To beautify their home.C．To build their own gardens. D．To cut daily expenses.5．What can be known about the couple from the passage?A．They started a public health-conscious campaign.B．They never gave in to the Miami Shores’ demand .C．They were fined $50 a day by Miami Shores Village.D．They were not backed by the Florida Supreme Court.6．What does the underlined word “voids” in paragraph 6 mean?A．Hides. B．Cancels.C．Prevents. D．Values.7．What does Rob Bradley think of the couple’s action probably?A．It’s sensible.B．It’s ridiculous.C．It’s ambitious.D．It’s costly.When Jeff Sparkman draws his cartoon superheroes, he often has to ask other people to tell him what color his characters turned out to be because he's color-blind. Now, a new smart phone application can help him figure out what colors he's using and how the picture looks to others.The DanKam app, available for iPhone and Android for $2.99, is an application that makes the vague colors that one percent of the population with color-blindness sees more like the "true" colors as everyone else sees them. In America, around 32 million color-blind Americans---95% are males---can soon have their life improved."DanKam takes the stream of data coming in through the phone's camera and changes the colors slightly so they fall within the range that people who are color-blind see," developer Dan Kaminsky told CNET. He came up with the idea after watching the film Star Trek with a color-blind friend.It was then that he got to know more about colorblindness like its varying types and degrees. A vast majority, for instance, have trouble seeing red or green due to a genetic defect(缺陷). Blue-yellow colorblindness, however, is rarer and develops later in life because of aging, illness or head injuries, etc.What the DanKam app attempts to do is to clean up the color space of the image signal so that colors can be seen to those suffering from viewing p roblems. “You can customize the app to fit your needs. There is a range and not everyone who is color-blind sees things the same.”Says Kaminsky.Sparkman, a copy editor at CNET, tried out the app and was pleased with the results. "It would be useful for d ressing for a job interview," he said. But using it for his art is “the most practical application." It worked well on LED and other lights on electronic devices, which means Sparkman can now identify the power light on his computer display as green. 8．According to passage, DanKam ___________.A．was developed by Jeff Sparkman. B．appeared in the movie Star Trek.C．is designed to help the blind. D．can be purchased with a fee9．It can be known from the passage that colorblindness __________.A．causes trouble in telling all colors B．occurs more commonly in females C．is not necessarily an inborn disease D．leaves people unable to see clearly 10．How does the DanKam app work?A．It makes vague colors become vivid ones. B．It operates in a fixed color model. C．It shows images with an adjusted color space. D．It puts LED lights on electronic devices. 11．Which of the following serves as the best title for the passage?A．Dankam: A New Treatment For Colorblindness.B．DanKam: Augmented(增强) Reality For Colorblindness.C．Dan Kaminsky: A Campaign Against Colorblindness.D．.Jeff Sparkman: Satisfaction Guaranteed By DanKam.Being seen in a fancy sports car or enjoying a beach holiday in a five-star hotel were once signs of having “made it”. But a new study suggested that hav ing people think of you as constantly occupied and overworked is now a far better way to demonstrate social position.According to Harvard University in the US, people are increasingly leaning toward the phenomenon of “humblebragging”. This is when people make a seemingly modest statement that actually draws attention to something they want to show off.Phrases such as “I have no life” and “I desperately need a holiday” are now used to imply social standing, while ordering food and shopping online is the perfect way to prove to neighbors that you are simply too busy and important to go to the supermarket.“Movies, magazines, and popular TV shows often highlight the abundance of money and leisure time among the wealthy,” said Neeru Paharia, an assistant profe ssor at Harvard University. “In recent years, featuring wealthy people relaxing by the pool, playing tennis orskiing and hunting are being substituted with advertisements featuring busy individuals who work long hours and have very limited leisure time,” he said. “Displaying a lack of leisure time operates as a visible signal of status in the eyes of others.”The researchers pointed out that the Wall Street Journal’s 2016 advertising campaign featured celebrities complaining about their busy lives, with the slogan (标语), “People who don’t have time, make time to read the Wall Street Journal.”The report, which was published in the Journal of Consumer Research, also found that brands that marketed themselves as time saving were becoming increasingly high-status, because of their users.According to the authors, this trend of humblebragging is due to people’s shift of focus –they now value “the preciousness and scarcity of individuals” more than “the preciousness and scarcity of goods”. “Busy individuals poss ess desirable characteristics, leading them to be viewed as in demand,” the authors concluded.12．Which of the following statements can count as “humblebragging”?A．“Just ate 15 pieces of chocolate. Gotta control myself flying first class or they'll cancel my modeling contract!”B．“Everybody check this baby out---we just bought a castle! I mean literally!”C．“Guys, I'm screwed. I I've missed the final deadline for my essay again and my tutor is going to fail me !”D．“Wow, I can't believe a rubbishy article like yours got published in a national newspaper!”13．To indicate their social position, people today prefer to ______.A．share their passion for tennis or skiingB．show how fast-paced their work life isC．tell people about the wonderful holidays they takeD．show off their abundance of money and leisure time14．The Wall Street Journal’s 2016 adverting slogan is mentioned in para. 5 to prove ______. A．showing a lack of time suggests high social statusB．the Wall Street Journal is worth people’s timeC．busy individuals need to better manage their timeD．people of high social position are lacking in time15．The underlined word in the last paragraph “scarcity” probably means_____ A．quantity B．identityC．shortage D．qualification二、七选五Have you ever wondered how the trainers at Sea World get the 19,000-pound whale to jump 22 feet out of water and perform tricks? They get that whale to go over a rope farther out of the water than most of us can imagine. 16．.So how do the trainers at Sea World do it? The first thing they do is reinforce(强化) the behavior that they want repeated --- in this case, to get the whale to go over the rope.17．, in a position where the whale can’t help but do what’s expected of it. Every time the whale goes over the rope, it’s given positive reinforcement and gets fed with fish. But what happened when the whale goes under the rope? Nothing — no criticism, no warning and no feedback. 18．.Positive reinforcement is the key of that simple principle that produces such splendid results. And as the whale begins to go over the rope more often than under, the trainers begin to raise the rope. It must be raised slowly enough so that the whale doesn’t starve.19．. Make a big deal out of the good and little stuff that we want consistently. Secondly, under-criticize. People know they need help when they mess up. 20．, people will not forget the event and usually will not repeat it.So we need to set up the circumstances so that people can’t fail.

They plan for the future. History, 31 , is the study of the past. Given all the 32 and pressures that come from living in the present and 33 what is yet to come, why bother with what has been? Given all the available branches of knowledge, why insist - as most 34 systems do - on history? And why encourage many students to study even more history than they are 35 to?Any subject of study needs to be 36 : supporters must explain why it is worth37 . Like most widely accepted 38 , history attracts people who simply 39the information and modes of thought involved. But for people who are less interested in the subject and more 40 about why they should bother with it, a clearer explanation of its purpose is required.41 do not perform heart transplants, improve highway design, or arrest criminals. In a society that quite correctly expects education to serve 42 purposes, history’s functions can seem more 43 to determine than those of engineering or medicine. History is in fact very useful, actually 44 , but the products of historical study are often less 45 and immediate than those of other subjects.History helps us understand people, societies and how they 46 . For example, how can we 47 past wars (and future threats) without using historical materials? Unfortunately, major aspects of a society’s operation cannot be set up as precise experiments.48 , history must serve, however imperfectly, as our 49 , helping us understand who we are and why we do what we do.

A maverick refuses to follow the customs or rules of a group to which he or she belongs. In the US, a maverick is often admired for his or her free spirit, although others who belong to the maverick’s group may not like the maverick’s independent ways.But where did the word “maverick” come from?Early in the 1800s, a man named Samuel Augustus Maverick settled down in Texas, which was a place of wide-open land, rich soil, cattle ranches(牛场) and cowboys. As the years passed, Mr. Maverick increased his property(财产) in Texas. Before long, he owned huge pieces of land that were good for raising cattle. But he had no cattle. He wasn’t a rancher.One day, a man came to Samuel Maverick to pay him an old debt. But the man didn’t have enough money. So he offered Mr. Maverick 400 head of cattle. Mr. Maverick accepted them, but he didn’t really want them. He simply put the cattle on his land to eat and care for themselves.It was not long before the cows reproduced(繁殖). The calves grew and had more calves. Soon, hundreds of cows and calves moved freely across Samuel Maverick’s land. They also moved across the land of nearby ranch owners.It was a tradition among ranchers in the West to put a mark of ownership on newborn calves. They burned the name of their ranch into the animal’s skin with a hot iron. The iron made a clear mark called a “brand”. Brands allowed ranchers to easily see who owned which cattle.Samuel Maverick refused to brand his calves. “Why should I?” he asked. If all the other cattle owners branded theirs, then those without a brand belonged to him.And this is how the word “maverick” entered the American language. It meant a calf without a brand. As time passed, the word “maverick” took on a wider meaning. It came to mean a person who was too independent to follow even his or her own group.4. Why did the man give Samuel Maverick 400 head of cattle?A. To get some money.B. To return what he owed him.C. To buy some of his land.D. To ask him to raise them.5. How could the ranchers easily know who the cattle belonged to?A. Through the brand on the cattle.B. Through the name of the cattle.C. Through the appearance of the cattle.D. Through the land on which the cattle stayed.6. What can we learn about Samuel Augustus Maverick from the text?A. He was born in Texas.B. He took good care of all his cattle.C. He didn’t really want to accept the cattle.D. He followed the tradition of ranchers in the West.7. What is the text mainly about?A. How to become an independent thinker.B. “Maverick” means a calf without a brand.C. The life story of Samuel Augustus Maverick.D. How the word “maverick” got into American English.CChildren's average daily time spent watching television or using mobile device increased from 53 minutes at age 12 months to more than 150 minutes at 3 years, according toan analysis by researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH). By age 8, children were more likely to log the highest amount of screen time if they had been in home-based children or were born to first-time mothers.“Our results indicate that screen habits begin early, ”said Edwina Yeung, an investigator in National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD).“This finding suggests that interventions(干涉) to reduce screen time could have a better chance of success if introduced early.”In the research, mothers of 4, 000 children responded to questions on their kids' media habits when they were 12, 18, 24, 30, and 36 months of age.TheAmericanAcademyof Pediatrics recommends avoiding digital media exposure for children under 18 months of age, introducing children 18 to 24 months of age to screen media slowly, and limiting screen time to an hour a day for children from 2 to 5 years of age. In the current study, researchers found that 87% of the children had screen time exceeding (超过) these recommendations. However, while screen time increased throughout toddlerhood, by age 7 and 8, screen time fell to under 1.5 hours per day. The researchers believe this decrease relates to time consumed by school-related activities.The study authors classified the children into two groups based on how much their average daily screen time increased from age 1 to age 3. The first group, 73% of the total had the lowest increase, from an average of nearly 51 minutes a day to nearly an hour and 47 minutes a day. The second group, 27% of the total, had the highest increase, from nearly 37 minutes of screen time a day to about 4 hours a day. Higher levels of parental educationwere associated with lower odds of inclusion in the second group.8. Who use mobile device longest according to the NIH's analysis?A. 10-year-old born to first-time mothers.B. 3-year-old children in low income families.C. 8-year-old children in home-based childcare.D. 1-year-old children with parents poorly educated.9. What does the research suggest according to Edwina?A. Parents should stop their children using media.B. Parents should limit the use of digital media themselves.C. Parents should reduce their children's screen time earlier.D. Parents should avoid their children using digital media at infancy (婴儿期).10. Why does children's screen time fall when they age 7 and 8?A. They are studying at school.B. They can control themselves.C. They are tired of using them.D. They are forbidden to use them.11. Which of the following may be the best title?A. Keep Away from MediaB. Screen Habits Begin EarlyC. Urgency of Parental EducationD. Harm of Home-based ChildcareDOne rainy afternoon, I was on a crosstown bus when ayoung woman jumped on. She had a child with her who must have been about 3 or 4 years old.The bus was full, bumpy, and it soon got noisy as her kid began crying because he couldn’t sit next to his mother. There were a couple of open seats, but they weren’t together. She wasflusteredand looked embarrassed.Then another woman, a little older, stood up and moved so that the mother and child could sit together. The mom smiled as a thank-you. And then three words came out of the older woman’s mouth that elevated the entire energy of that bus ride: “I’ve been there”.Simple, undramatic and honest. In that moment, it seemed to unite people. Why? Because almost all experiences are shared human experiences. We forget that, as we forge (前进) through life, focused onour own troubles and needs—which are actually less unique than we think. How can these three words create more connection in your life? Ask yourself: “Where am I holding back?One thing I know for sure is this: Healing others helps heal yourself. I noticed this recently with my friend,Tracy, who took a new friend who had suffered a miscarriage under her wing. Tracy had three of them before having her daughter two years ago. Our intellect needs a doctor to explain the medical side of things, yes. But our souls need human connection to help us along. No one can do that better than someone who has been exactly where you are.Can the essence of these three words help you make a small difference right now? It can be as simple as volunteering your seat, sharing some helpful advice or even lightening the mood with a joke when you notice that someone’s uncomfortable—because we’re all in this together.12. The underlined word “flustered” in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to _______.A. angryB. anxiousC.scaredD. upset13. What does the woman mean by saying “ I’ve been there”in the third paragraph？A. The woman was on the bus and saw what had happened to the boy.B. The woman got to her destination and was ready to get off the bus.C. The woman once had the similar experience with that mother.D. The woman took the exact seat that the boy was on just now.14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Everyone has his or her own unique problem that is difficult to solve.B. Doctors can help us get through when we have mental or physical problems.C. The author’s friend Tracy felt better after she was comforted by her new friend.D. One can indeed make a difference to those in need of help by doing simple things.15. The passage isintended to _______.A. show a harmonious world by telling some touching storiesB. praise those who are willing to help others in emergenciesC. appeal to readers to give timely help to those in needD. illustrate some ways of helping others in detail第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
