It has changed the way we communicate, work, and even shop. However, it has also brought about some negative effects.One of the most significant negative effects of the Internet is its impact on social relationships. With the convenience of online communication, people are spending less time face-to-face with others. This can lead to a decline in social skills and a feeling of isolation.Another negative effect of the Internet is its impact on education. While the Internet provides a wealth of information, it can also be a distraction. Students may spend more time online than studying, which can lead to poor academic performance.Despite these negative effects, the Internet has many positive aspects. It has made information more accessible and has facilitated global communication. It has also created new job opportunities and has helped to promote economic growth.8.

While there are countless shelters and rescue centers that exist, some potential pet owners look to pet shops to find their furry friends. All too often, however, these animals come from puppy and kitten mills (繁殖场) that treat the creatures in cruel ways. San Francisco, however, is doing their part to stop this abuse with pet store adoption. Officials recently voted to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.The effect is two-fold. One, it will stop the popularity of the large-scale mills, which are famous for the miserable conditions cats and does are kept in. Two, it will help facilitate the adoption of thousands of animals that are waiting for their forever homes in San Francisco shelters. District 4 Supervisor Katy Tang, who serves on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, supported law-making on the ban. “Dogs and cats sold in pet stores often come from inhumane puppy and kitten mills that treat animals with no regard for their health or well-being”, she wrote on Facebook. In her message, she also called on the U. S. Agriculture Department to reinstate information on its website that documents these types of animal cruelty cases—it was removed earlier this month.San Francisco’s law-making is a victory for those concerned about animal rights, and they aren’t the first city to pass this type of measure. Los Angeles, San Diego, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, and Austin also have similar laws in place, with hopefully more places to follow suit.1.What happened to some dogs and cats before they got in the pet stores?A.They were treated cruelly.B.They were abandoned in streets.C.They received warm welcome.D.They were raised in shelters and rescue centers.2.Which of the following may Katy Tang agree with most?A.People should adopt the dogs and cats.B.Animals are too cruel to humans being.ernment can choose to kill all the dogs and cats.D.It is not right to ban the sale of non-rescue dogs and cats in local shops.3.What does the underlined word “reinstate” in Paragraph 2 mean?A.updateB.replaceC.post againD.download4.What does the last paragraph mainly focus on?A.No Chinese city joins this type of movement.B.San Francisco is the last city to ban pet stores.C.Americans care about animals more than humans.D.More and more cities are involved in animal rights.3、 Two deer jumped out in front of 16﹣year﹣old Amanda Floyd's car. She stepped on the brake, sopping the car just in time. But later, she strted texting.Distacted (分心的),Amanda turned left and right, then crashed into another car. Luckily, she wasn't in a real car﹣﹣she was in a driving simulator (模拟器) at Roosevelt High School, Ohio,US. "I never really realized that cars make a turn that much," Amanda, a Junior, said. She added that she wouldn't text while driving anymore.The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) and State Highway Patrol brought the simulator to the school. They said they wanted to help students learn about the danger of driving while drunk, while texting, or while talking on the phone.According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, distacted driving chaimed 3,450 1ives in 2016 alone. Experts believe the actual figure is probably higher.The simulator is basically a computer program. Like many computer games, it was a hit with the students. They lined up and crowded around to watch each other take turns. The simulator has a seringn whee! (方向盘) ,brake and gas pedal (油门踏板). It is made up of three large computer screens on a table.Students choose a distraction, such as driving while drunk or texting. They always crash, of course. Then, they are pulled over by the police to be taught the bad results of their driving: how much damage they've caused, what their fine is, if anyone died in the accident, and if they're going to go to prison."It teaches how to drive without being on the road," said Shante Thompson, 16. She had just crashed into a deer.ODOT spokesman Justin Chesnic said hundreds of kids have gone behind the wheel so far. He said even more have benefited from watching their classmates."Driving is such a major responsibility, so take it seriously" he said."Put away your cellphone. A lot of the accidents out there are because of distracted driving. It can not only change your life, but it can change someone else's life forever. The results are serious."1.What does the author intend to do in Paragraph One?A.Introduce the topic of the text.B.Illustrate the author's point of view.C.Provide some advice for the readers.D.Offer some background information.2.Why is the driving simulator project introduced to Roosevelt High School?A.It tests the students' ability to stay focused.B.It gets students to have fun between classes.C.It teaches students how to deal with taffec accidents.D.It makes students aware of the dangers of distracted driving3.What can we know about the driving simulator?A.It is connected to the local police station.B.It is a real car but has large computer screens.C.It atracts the students' intrest as a computer program.D.It benefits the students who use it more than those who only watch.4.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Traffic rules in Ohio, US.B.Danger of distracted driving.C.Simulated driving for students.D.Advantages of computer games.4、Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinkingin sustainable building design and operation involves integrated(协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reducedair-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.1.What's the author's attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?A.Supportive.B.Disapproving.C.Optimistic.D.Uncaring.2.Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?A.To follow an old practice.B.To help reduce energy use.C.To completely replace air conditioners.D.To help cut down on daily expenses.3.What's the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?A.All parties should get started at the same time.B.The basic architecture should be finished first.C.Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.D.Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.4.What would be the best title for the text?A.Waste less, live betterB.Goodbye, air conditioningC.How to reduce the energy costD.Green buildings call for integrated design5、When you are dealing with a stressful situation or going through a hard time, people in your life can help you. When someone who cares knows what you’re goingthrough, it helps you feel understood and not so alone ①__________ Problems seem smaller when you talk about them with the right person.You can do better and find out solutions more easily when you share your problems.There are lots of different ways to get and give help ②__________ Other times you need advice on things.

ASeven years ago, I paid a visit to an animal shelter on a cloudy day. Although my house was already full of cats and dogs, I still couldn’t resist an occasional visit to the shelter. This time as I was walking down the row of pens full of barking dogs ,I noticed a small boy looking into one of them.He had a malnourished（营养不良的）looking body and a face with a big nose sticking out of the middle of it. He was looking at a small, golden dog. Its thin tail was folded between its legs. It wasn’t begging for attention like the other puppies but was hiding in the corner instead. The boy looked up at me with sad eyes and asked what was wrong with it. “It was probably abused and abandoned”, I said. “That is why it is so scared.”The boy immediately turned to an older lady and said, “Grandma, I want this one.” The old woman smiled and walked to the front desk to fill out the adoption forms. I followed and asked about the boy. I found out that he’d had a rough start in life too. She had just gotten custody（监护权）of him after the state had taken him from his parents. She had hoped getting adog would make it easier on him. I looked back at him, holding his scared puppy, and said a prayer for them both.It was yesterday. I was driving down the road enjoying a gloriously sunny, spring day. Then in a green front yard I saw the boy. His teenage body was tall and strong. His nose no longer seemed big but fit well into his smiling face. He was throwing a ball to a healthy, happy dog with shining golden hair. His little act of love and kindness had indeed gone a long way. It had saved a do g’s life, healed his own heart, and given this middle-aged man fresh hope for us all.21. The reason why the dog was so scared is that _______ .A. it was afraid of the coldB. it had been ill-treatedC. it was frightened by the boyD. it was frightened by the author22 . Why did the boy want to adopt the golden dog?A. Because the dog looked attractive.B. Because his grandma also liked the dog.C. Because they had something in common.D. Because the author advised him to adopt it.23.The Grandma wanted the boy to adopt a dog so that ___________ .A. his life could be easierB. he could play balls with itC. he could forget about his parentsD. the dog could be taken good care of24.What can we learn from the last paragraph ?A. The author is a kind-hearted old man.B. The boy’s nose has become smaller than before.C. The author enjoys watching people playing with dogs.D. Both the boy and the dog are growing healthily and happily.BDid you know that women's brains are smaller than men's? The average women's brain weighs 10% less than men's. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests,despite the difference in brain size.Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it's what's inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain consists of "grey matter" and "white matter". While men have more of the latter, the amount of"thinking" brain is almost exactly the same in both sexes.It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls tend to learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of information from different sources at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it's women who come out on top every time.There are other important differences between two sexes. As white matter is the key to spatial (空间的)tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. "A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go," says one researcher. That may explain one of life's great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions and women often need to!The differences begin when fetuses (胎儿) are about nineweeks old, which can be seen in the action of children as young as one. A boy would try to climb a barrier (障碍物) before him or push it down while a girl would attract help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors ,among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.If all this disappoints you, it shouldn't. "The brain changes throughout our lives according to what we do with it." says a biologist.25.The passage mainly tells us .A.the difference between men’s and women’s brains.B.the changes in brain throughout our lives.C.that men are better at spatial tasks.D.that brain differences are related to our ancestors.26.Which of the following is true according to the first paragraph?A. Women's brain is 10% less than men's.B. Grey matter plays the same role as white matter.C. Grey matter controls thinking in the brain.D. Both sexes have the same amount of white matter.27. What can we infer from the second and third paragraphs?A. Women prefer doing many things at a time.B. Men do better dealing with one job at a time.C. Women do not need to tell directions.D. Men have weaker spatial abilities.28.Which of the following do you agree with according to the fourth paragraph?A. Young boys may be stronger than young girls.B. More women take up jobs requiring speech skills.C. Women may have stronger feelings than men.D. Our ancestors needed more spatial skills.CChildren start out as natural scientists, eager to look into the world around them. Helping them enjoy science can be easy; there's no need for a lot of scientific terms or expensive lab equipment. You only have to share your children's curiosity. Firstly, listen to their questions. I once visited a classroom of seven-year-olds to talk about science as a job. The children asked me"textbook questions "about schooling,salary and whether I liked my job. When I finished answering, we sat facing one another in silence. Finally I said, "Now that we're finished with your lists, do you have questions of your own about science?"After a long pause, a boy raised his hand, "Have you ever seen a grasshopper (蚱蜢) eat? When I try eating leaves like that, I get a stomachache. Why?"This began a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly, give them time to think. Studies over the past 30 years have shown that, after asking a question,adults typically wait only one second or less for an answer, no time for a child to think. When adults increase their "wait time" to three seconds or more, children give more logical (符合逻辑的), complete and creative answers.Thirdly, watch your language. Once you have a child involved m a science discussion, don't jump in with "That's right" or "Very good". These words work well when it comes to encouraging good behavior . But in talking about science, quick praise can signal that discussion is over. Instead, keep things going by saying "That's interesting" or "I'd never thought of it that waybefore", or coming up with more questions or ideas.Never push a child to "Think". It doesn't make sense, children are always thinking, without your telling them to. What's more, this can turn a conversation into a performance. The child will try to find the answer you want, in as few words as possible, so that he will be a smaller target (目标) for your disagreement.Lastly, show; don't tell. Real-life impressions of nature are far more impressive than any lesson children can learn from a book or a television program. Let children look at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放大镜), and they'll understand why you want them to wash before dinner. Rather than saying that water evaporates (蒸发), set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.29.According to the passage, children are natural scientists, and to raise their interest, the most important thing for adults to do is ____.A. to let them see the world aroundB. to share the children's curiosityC. to explain difficult phrases about scienceD. to supply the children with lab equipment30.According to the passage, children can answer questions in a more logical, completeand creative way if adults ________.A. ask them to answer quicklyB. wait for one or two seconds after a questionC. tell them to answer the next dayD. wait at least for three seconds after a question31.The author mentions all of the following techniques for adults to share with theirchildren's curiosity except that adults should ____.A. tell their children stories instead of reciting (背诵) factsB. offer their children chances to see things for themselvesC. be patient enough when their children answer questionsD. encourage their children to ask questions of their ownDTykoon is an online website that allows you to teach your child financial principles through allowances, assignment of tasks and daily chores.
