三、阅读理解(共10小题;每小题2分,满分20分)
17. My name is Helen. I'm studying in a secondary school. I'm interested in computer and computer puter games are just fun, I have been playing them for years, and I have become really good at it. Some of my classmates think that I'm quite special. What's so special about that
One day I was having lunch at school. Suddenly a girl I didn't know came and sat next to me, "What do you do for fun " she asked. "I am a gamer,'' I said in a low voice. "A gamer!'' She couldn't believe what I said and she laughed, with all the apple pie out of her mouth.
Most people think gaming is suitable for boys, but not for girls. Maybe I should cut my hair short and change my actions so that I look like a boy.
Most boys don't feel there is anything wrong with my hobby. I have met many boy gamers—some online and some face-to-face. None of them think badly about me being a girl gamer. I have made some good friends with them.
Playing computer games is also a kind of relaxing, like playing football, basketball or singing. I don't know why people feel strange about girls who play games. Girls who play games do it for the same reason as boys do: it's something fun to do in your free time. Girls need to relax themselves, too!

Helen ▲ She loves computer and computer games. She plays quite well because she plays it a lot.

18. According to FluentU, an English language and culture blog, the best way to improve one's language skills is to watch sitcoms(情景喜剧)in English. Here is why.
Compared with textbooks, sitcoms give us a more realistic context (语境)for learning English. On Friends, for example, people just talk naturally in a coffee shop or a living room. All you hear is real, everyday English.
Many characters have different accents (口音), so you can improve your listening skills. You can begin to learn and understand different cultures. There's more repetition(重复)of words and phrases in sitcoms. This will help you learn them in a shorter time. Best of all, when you fall in love with a show, you will forget that you are learning, but will pick up English in a natural way.
根据上面的短文,完成改写后的文章,每空一词。

19. In America, children start school when they are five years old. In some states they must stay in school until they are sixteen. Most students are seventeen or eighteen years old when they leave secondary(中等的) schools. There are two kinds of schools in the United States: public schools and private (私立的)schools. Most children go to public schools. Their parents do not have to pay for their education(教育) because the schools receive money from the government. If a child goes to a private school, his parents have to get enough money for his schooling. Some parents still prefer private schools, though (尽管)they are much more expensive.
Today about half of the high school students go to universities (大学)after they finish the secondary school. A student at state university does not have to pay very much if his parents live in that state. But many students work while they are studying at universities. In this way they develop good working habits and lead an independent life.

26.答案:
Hello, everyone!
I think it's necessary to have a healthy lifestyle. Because it can make us live better. For me, I do have one.
Every day, I run with my dog in the playground in the morning or evening. And I am good at swimming, so I swim once a week. In my daily life, I'd like to have more fruit and vegetables every day. One glass of milk and an egg a day is my routine. Milk and eggs are both good for my health. I hardly ever have junk food. I never drink coffee, either. In my spare time, I always listen to music, because it's relaxing for me. Also, in order to get some information about study, I surf the Internet three times a week. Usually I go to bed early and get up early.
Life will be easier if you live wisely. It's never too late to have a healthier lifestyle!
Thanks for listening.
