AIn a nation with a one-child policy it’s understandablefor parents to worry over whether they are petting their children. Are the children as truly weak as expected?The concern has been broughtinto a hit reality TV series —Hunan TV’s Dad!Where Are We Going? and Zhejiang TV’s First Time In Life. In both children as young as three have become new public figures(人物). In the show First Time In Life，children chosen from ordinary families are given small tasks t o finish by themselves；the ongoing Dad show centers on five fathers and their childr en who are forced to live a sim ple life in poor villages far outs ide their comfortable city life. Though they have different fa mily backgrounds how they be have in the new environments has drawn the attention of the public.In Dad! Where Are We Going? the five-year-old daughter of former Olympi c diving champion Tian Liang cries and hides behind her fat her when they arrive at a rural village. In First Time In Life a y oung girl in Tianjin cries after being asked by her father to go out alone to buy eggs and a p ancake.In the eyes of some people th ese kids always depend on ot hers and the reason is that the ir parents give them too much love. But television viewers an d parents were encouraged w hen the crying Tianjin girl finall y returned holding the pancak e and Tian’s daughter finally b egan to take care of her young er friends and learned to ask f or help from people she didn’t know.The father of the Tianjin girl fel t “delightfully shocked” and sai d. “She used tobe well taken care of by her m other or grandmother. Now sh e has the courage to do it all b y herself. ”The shows have led many par ents to change how they raise their children. Shanghai mothe r Liang Jing said she would try to “give some training” to her shy son asking him to tidy up his toys. Lin Yi a parenting exp ert in Beijing said giving kids a chance to do things for thems elves helps to raise their sens e of success which carries ben efits all through their lives. ”21. What draws the people’s a ttention in the programs?A. How the children behave in the new environments.B. Where the children are from .C. What the kids’ family backg round is like .D. How old the children are.22. What is Tian Liang’s daug hter expected to do in the show?A. Go out to buy something al one.B. Live in a poor village with h er father.C. Make friends with strange p eople.D. Hide in a safe place out of danger.23. It can be known from the u nderlined words “delightfully s hocked” that ___.A. father is more important tha n mother in a familyB. children should be given a c hance to depend on themselv es.C. parents should give the chil d a safe environmentD. the children are as weak as parents expected24.The shows are bound to raise a wave of discussion that _______A. protecting good tradition B. the social societyC. approaches to parentingD. the influence of TV programmesBCassandra Feeley finds it hard to manage on her husband's i ncome.So this year she did something more than a hobby(业余爱好):She planted vegetables in her yard.For her first garden,Ms .Feeley has put in 15 tomato plants,and five rows of a variety of vegetables.The family's old farm house has become a chic ken house,its residents arriving next st year, Ms.Rita Gartin kept a small garden.This year she has made it much l arger because,she said,"The cost of everything is going up and I was looking to lose a few pounds,too；so it's a winwin situation all around."They are among the growing number of Americans who,dri ven by higher living costs and a falling economy(经济),have taken up vegetable gardening for the first time.Other s have increased the size of their existing gardens.Seed com panies and garden shops say that not since the 1970s has th ere been such an increase in interest in growing food at home .Now many gardens across the country have been sold out fo r several months.In Austin,Tex.,some of the gardens have a t hree year waiting list.George C．Ball Jr.,owner of a company,said sales of veget able seeds and plants are up by 40%over last year,double the average growth of the last five years.Mr.Ball argues that som e of the reasons have been building for the last few years.The big one is the striking rise in the cost of food like bread and m ilk, together with the increases in the price of fruits and vegeta bles.Food prices have increased because of higher oil prices. People are now driving less,taking fewervacations,so there is more time to garden.25．What does the word "residents" in Paragraph 1 probably refer to?A．chickens B．tomatoes C．gardens D．people26. By saying "a winwin situation all around",Ms.Gartin means that________.A．she is happier and her garden biggerB．she may spend less and lose weightC．she is selling more and buying lessD．she has grown more varieties of vegetables27.Why is vegetable gardening becoming increasingly popula r?A．More Americans are doing it for fun.B．The price of oil is lower than before.C．There's a growing need for fruits.D．The cost of living is on the rise.CWhile astronauts in space get to do many exciting things, they miss out on ordinary things that we all take for granted—being able to walk on firm ground, hanging out with family and digging into a slice of hot steaming pizza. Though not much c an be done about the first two things, there may soon be a sol ution to the third one, thanks to this cool 3-D pizza printer! About a year ago, NASA offered $125 ,000 to Anjan Contract or, a 3-D technology expert, to build a device (设备) that would allow astronauts to make pizza on demand. The mechanical engineer promised that his invention would prod uce pies in large quantities that looked, tasted and even smell ed like pizza made in common ovens.Late last year, the engineer presented a video of his first proto type (原型) that begins by creating a single slice of dough (面团) that is cooked and printed at the same time. Then comes t he tomato “sauce”— a mix of tomato powder, oil and water a nd finally, a protein slice that resembles cheese. While the vid eo doesn’t show the baking process, the inventor says that on ce the pizza is printed, it can be ready to be consumed in 7 se conds.While the pie in the video looks delicious enough to attract an y pizza lover, Anjan Contractor is far from ready for astronaut s. That’s because he still has to find a solution to make the fo od container in the printer last for 30 years. Though that may sound unrealistic, actually it is not.Anjan Contractor believes that the only way that is possible is that the water is removed from all the ingredients (配料) and then they are reduced to the powder form. This, as yo u can imagine, will not be so easy. But, while the printer may not be ready for space, it certainly looks ready enough for peo ple on earth. Hopefully, NASA and Contractor will consider sel ling it to those not fortunate enough to go to Mars!28. Why does the author mention the things that astronauts in space cannot do?A. To ask us not to take common things for granted.B. To show they live a difficult life there.C. To show their life is boring in space.D. To introduce the topic of the text.29.NASA offered $ 125, 000 to Anjan Contractor mainly to ___ ____.A. create some new type of 3-D printerB. attract more companies to work for NASAC. help astronauts in space enjoy fresh pizza one dayD. produce pizza in large quantities to earn great profits30.The biggest challenge that Anjan Contractor is faced with now is probably that _______.A. he has no money left to go on with his researchB. the pizza doesn’t seem appetizing to pizza loversC. he has no way to make pizza that can last for thirty yearsD. he cannot make the food container last for decades31. What’s the best title of the passage?A. NASA is trying its best to help astronauts eat betterB. Astronauts may soon be able to enjoy steaming hot pizzaC. NASA is working on making pizza for common peopleD. A 3-D pizza printer has been used to make pizzaDYou know how wonderful you are, and you know that others k now how wonderful you are, but what do you do when admirat ion crosses over the line into jealousy (嫉妒)? For most teens there will come a day when you realize th at one of your friends is jealous and that this jealousy is hurtin g your friendship. When this happens it can seem like there is nothing that you can do, but the good news is that there is. D on't let jealousy spoil your friendship. Deal with it confidently a nd you might be back to normal much sooner than you think. It can be hard to walk up to a friend and ask them what the pr oblem is, but if you want to save your friendship you'll have to do just that. Don't approach them and ask why they are jealou s of you unless of course you want to appear totally conceited (逞能的), just take some time alone with them and let them know th at you've been feeling like there's been something coming bet ween you. If they refuse to respond, then use the opportunitie s to explain how you have been feeling. Chances are that so mething you say will strike a nerve and your friend will open u p as well.When you figure out what is annoying your friend, ask him or her what (s)he thinks would make the situation better. If, for e xample, (s)he says that (s)he feels like (s)he doesn't get to sp end any time with you because of your being off with your ne w friends from the swim team then maybe you could invite hi m or her along the next time or block off one day a week for ju st the two of you. Remember, though, that whatever solution y ou decide on should be a compromise. Don't limit your own tal ents or opportunities simply because your friend is unhappy. Try instead to include him or her in your new life and see how that works out.Even the best of friendships can be ruined by jealousy. This d estructive emotion is rarely productive and can turn best frien ds into worst enemies. Before taking extreme action, chat with your jealous friend to see if the two of you can work out a co mpromise. If you can't, be prepared to know exactly how far y ou will go to keep your friend and how far you won't.32.According to the author, the jealousy emotion is ________.A.normalB.productiveC.destructiveD.ext reme33.What does the author intend to tell us in paragraph 2?A.How to solve the problem of jealousy.B.Why we need to solve the problem of jealousy.C.How to explain your jealousy to your friends.D.Why it is hard to deal with the problem of jealousy.34.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?A.There's always a solution to solve the problem of jealousy.B.Jealousy can turn best friends into worst enemies.C.You may lose a friend to keep your own gifts, chances or se lf development.D.You should go a long way with your friend to work out a sol ution.35.This passage is mainly intended for ________.A.female readersB.studentsC.teenagersD.b est friends阅读第二节（共5小题:每小题2分, 满分10分）根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Boomerang Kids can be a mixed blessing for parents, both emotionally and financially.Especially during hard economic times, adult children head for home. According to a survey, about 40 percent of 2017 graduates still live with their parents. Moreover, 42 percent of the 2015 graduates surveyed said they are still living at home.The reasons are many, the first being economics. While the recession has touched Americans of all ages, it has been very hard for young adults. This has sent many kids back home. Plus, there is the matter of debt, especially college loans. For many recent graduates, it makes smart economic sense to move back in with their parents where life is comfortable and rent is either low or nonexistent. Then, of course, some return for personal reasons, such as recovering from a divorce or an illness.Parents are often glad to help out, both emotionally and financially. As a result, the arrangement often works to everyone’s satisfaction. However, there are risks, e specially for the parents. These include not only family tension and misunderstandings, but also money. The return to the family can become a financial burden that can affect the parents’ plans and their financial future, especially their retirement, as they try to do too much for their children.21. From the passage, we know Boomerang Kids____________________________. .A. return to live with parents after graduationB. have problem with their marriageC. graduate from college in advanceD. like to show off their independence22. The underlined words in Paragraph 1 mean something that_________________. .A. is very useful and beneficialB. has advantages and disadvantagesC. will have a good resultD. worries people a lot23. What can we learn from the passage?A. It is a tough choice for young adults to move back home.B. Children face fewer financial problems than ever.C. Parents may have to deal with extra financial burden.D. Most graduates choose to live with their parents.BHave you ever looked out of the window of a passenger plane from 30,000 feet at the vast expanses of empty ocean and uninhabited land, and wondered how people can have any major effect on the Earth? I have. It is now becoming pretty clear that we are causing a great deal of damage to the natural environment. And the planes which rush us in comfort to destinations around the globe, contribute to one of the biggest environmental problems that we face today—global warming.As usual, people in the developing world are having to deal with problems created mainly by those of us in developed countries. Beatrice Schell, a spokeswoman for the European Federation for Transport and Environment says that, “One person flying in an airplane for one hour is responsible for the sam e greenhouse gas emissions as a typical Bangladeshi in a whole year.” And every year jet aircraft produce almost as much carbon dioxide as the entire African continent does.There is a way of offsetting(抵消) the carbon dioxide we produce when we travel by plane. Acompany called Future Forests offers a service which can relieve the guilty consciences of air travelers. The Future Forest website calculates the amount of CO2 you are responsible for producing on your flight, and for a small fee will plant a number of trees which will absorb this CO2.Yesterday I returned to Japan from England, and was happy to pay Future Forests 25 pounds to plant the 3 trees which balance my share of the CO2 produced by my return flight. Now the only thing making me lose sleep is jet lag.24. What can we infer from paragraph 2?A. underdeveloped countries are less polluted.B. flying by air can do great harm to underdeveloped countries.C. developed countries contribute more to global warming.D. Bangladesh attaches great importance to environmental protection.25. Why did the writer pay Future Forests 25 pounds after his flight?A. To cure his jet lag after the long flight.B. To reduce the harm to the environment caused by his flight.C. To donate the money to less developed countries.D. To pay extra fee for the energy-saving plane.26. Which of the following might be the writer’s purpose to write this passage?A. Showing the major effects of air traveling.B. Advertising the company of Future Forests.C. Persuading people to stop taking planes when they travel.D. Arousing people’s awareness of the harm caused by flights.CThe Lion King was one of Disney’s most successful movies. The movie was so well-loved by audience everywhere, that Disney executive Michael Eisner, began thinking it would make a successful stage play as well. When he told co-worker Thomas Schumacher to start planning, Schumacher was stunned. He felt the project was impossible. But Eisner insisted. He said that all they needed was a “brilliant idea”.After many months, Schumacher found his brilliant idea. “The answer,” he recalls, “was, in fact, quite simple—Julie,Taymor,” a woman who has been creating magical theatrer for many years.Taymor accepted the challenge, putting all her years of theatrical experience into creating a new concept for the Lion King. When she began to address the question of how to bring the animal characters to life, she knew she did not want to hide the actors inside big animal suits. She wanted the audience to see the actors’ faces and bodies, which would represent the animal’s human qualities. So she designed costumes that revealed the actor within.Not every good idea works out, so even the most creative person must be willing to let go of an idea and look for a better one. For example, the mask for Mufasa, the lion king, went through many changes. At one point, Taymor’s co-designer, Michael Curry, created a large mask that the actor would lift on and off. But it looked awkward, so Curry went back to the drawing board and came up with a better idea.Creative ideas are not always complex. Sometimes, the simplest idea is the most powerful. Taymor calls these simple, but powful ideas “true theatre”. For example, ribbons can show someone’s te ars, and blue silk can show water.Many people helped make The Lion King a success. It was a team effort in every sense of the world, yet each person added his or her personal touch to make the production memorable.The creative work of the entire team pays off every night. People are thrilled by this imaginative journey to Africa. After the glorious opening, the amazing sights continue. The audience sees frightening hyenas, an elephant graveyard, an eye-popping stampede---everythi ng, in fact, that was in the moive, but different enough to be a whole new event. By the end of the show, many in the audience find it hard to remember that the Lion King was ever a movie.27.
