阅读理解（议论文）
Last week, 169 Junior 1 students at No. 35 Middle School of Shenyang took their first no-teacher exam. After the teacher handed out the exam paper, he left the room and never came back. A student collected in the papers when the exam ended.
“That test was not only a test of knowledge, but also a test of moral(道德). We wanted to show students how important honesty is,” said Cai Wenguo, the school’s headmaster. The school says no cheating happened in the test. Next year, it wants 80% of its exams to be without teachers. But students have different ideas.
“I was happy and excited during the exam because my teachers trusted me,” said Lang Yudan, a 13-year-old girl in Class 11.
“Schools must trust students a lot not to use invigilators(监考人). But I think it is too early. Some students will cheat if there are no invigilators. And the students will not be able to ask for help when needed,” said Hua Sha.
I don’t like having invigilators in exams. When they walk around the classroom, they make me nervous. I would get higher marks without them in the room because I would feel more relaxed.” Liu Qingxi said.
“I think it’s very important to have invigilators in exams. Many students want to check their answers with each other after they have finished papers. And they can also keep the classroom in order when something unusual happens. They may make me nervous, but I still think we need them.” Shangguan Yuan said.
Not using invigilators may be a good idea. But before using it, schools must tell students the importance of honesty and try to find ways to solve something unusual in exams.

Everyone knows that China is changing and developing very quickly at the moment. Many young people from home and abroad thought about the changes. The following are some comments which young people made on a website message board.
I’m a Chinese student. I’m very proud of China and I’d love to make a real contribution(贡献) to the development of my country. When I finish my training in Canada, I will go back to China and start a business, so I can give something back to the country.
I’m a Chinese student in America. My hometown used to be very poor. But it has changed now. Most people in my hometown have a good standard of living and some can now afford cars. I’m very pleased with these changes and very proud of them.
I spent two years in Beijing as a student in the late 1990s and I recently went back there on holiday. I couldn’t believe the changes which had taken place in such a short time and the qualities(品质) I admire in Chinese people are their wish to succeed, their family values and their sense of responsibility. I think these qualities will be very important if China is to continue developing.
I hope that China will become a successful and prosperous(繁荣的) country. There is still a long way to go. There are many challenges and difficulties ahead, but I am sure we can overcome them if we work together.

Before we upload a photo of ourselves to social media, like WeChat, we’ll use an app to smooth our skin, make our eyes look bigger, and give us longer eyelashes and fuller lips. With a couple of touches on our mobile phone, we’re able to present the best pictures of ourselves to others.
However, the problem is, when we simply edit our imperfections(瑕疵) away, we’re also changing the way we look at our ourselves. 1
Last month, researchers from the US Boston University published an article Selfies﹣Living in the Era of Filtered (滤镜) Photographs. The article listed the bad effects of photo editing on people and the possibility to cause appearance worries. 2
The researchers think that these apps make it difficult to tell between reality and fantasy(虚幻). “These apps allow one to change his or her appearance in minutes and follow an unrealistic standard of beauty,” the article says. 3
In the past, people might compare their looks to those who were famous that time. But for today’s young people, beauty standards are most likely set by what they see on social media. “From birth, they are born into an age of social platforms, and their feelings are connected to how good they look,” a British doctor Escho said.
4 “Now you’ve got the comparison of your real self to fake self that you present on social media,” Renee Engeln, a professor at Northwestern University, told the HuffPost website. He further pointed out that when people spend too much time comparing with others, they may become “beauty sick” and find it difficult to accept what they actually look like.
So when we look in a real mirror, we shouldn’t think to ourselves, “Do I look as good as myself in the Beauty Cam(美颜) ” Instead, we should think, “I feel good, I have my health.”
9．What may people do before they present the best of themselves on social media
A．Wearing false eyelashes. B．Redding their lips before going out.
C．Using apps to edit photos. D．Smoothing their skin in the morning.
10．Where should we put the sentence “This is why many young people suffer an appearance worries when it comes to how they really look.”
A．(4) B．(3) C．(2) D．(1)
11．Which of the following is right according to the passage
A．Everybody looks as good as himself in the Beauty Cam.
B．These apps make it easy to tell between reality and fantasy.
C．The article listed the bad and good effects of photo editing on people.
D．People today pay more attention on how good they look than in the past.
12．What did the author write this passage for
A．To call on people to care more about appearance.
B．To call on people not to use apps on mobile phones.
C．To call on people to spend too much time comparing with others.
D．To call on people to learn something more important than appearance.
It’s a hot topic among students: Is it better to study alone or in a group Please read the following students’ opinions.
CandyIt isn’t the most fun thing to study alone, but it’s necessary. When you lock yourself away in your room, there are fewer distractions（使人分心的事）than when you study in a group or a public place. Nobody is moving around or talking near you. There are truly no distractions, unless you’re one of those people who feel the need to clean everything when you study.
BruceIf you’re with active people who are focused, you may be surprised at just how fantastic group studying can be. How many times have you said you were going to sit down and study but ended up playing with mobile phones Probably too many to remember. When you set.a date and time to get together with a study group, it helps to prevent procrastination, because you know other people are expecting you to be there.
MikeEveryone is different, which means everyone learns differently. You may require classical music, a warm room. and a cup of tea while you study. Someone else may require complete silence, a cool room, and no snacks at all. Studying alone allows you to set the perfect study environment so you get the most out of studying.
LilyWhen you study in a group, you will get more information. This is because you understand your notes in another way and put the information into your own words rather than read from a textbook. It’s very similar to teaching the others in your group, which leads to getting the information better.
13．Which of the following opinions is NOT from Candy and Mike A．Studying alone can develop your interest.
B．Studying alone can keep you away from distractions.
C．Studying alone can make you set your study environment.
14．Which of the following is TRUE according to their words
A．When you study in public, you must clean everything.
B．If you study alone in a perfect environment, you may leam well.
C．Although you study in an active group, you still can’t get good grades.
15．What does the underlined word “procrastination” mean
A．焦虑症 B．自闭症 C．拖延症
16．What conclusion(结论) can we draw from their opinions
A．Everyone should leam in the same way.
B．It is better to study in a group than alone.
C．The method that fits you is the best for you.
Anna used to wake you up on Sunday morning when you wanted to stay in bed, but now you feel strange if she gets up before lunch. She used to be very quiet, but now she talks all the time—but not to you. She used to hold your hand when you went to visit your friends. Now she doesn’t even want to be seen with you when you go to visit your friends. Your Anna might spend hours on the phone or in the bathroom now. At the same time, Nick next door has become quiet and dirty. He used to be very polite. Now a simple conversation with Nick becomes very difficult. You’ve gone from a hero to the most embarrassing adult in the world. Your child has become a teenage!
What makes adolescence（青春期）so difficult Physical（身体上的）and emotional changes are the reasons that make them change so much. When they are young, children live in a safe and simple land called “childhood”. Parents organize their lives. Perhaps choose children’s clothes, take them to places, and spend time with them. They’re there with the children when there is a problem. As the children get older, they learn about another land—an exciting land called “adulthood”. Sooner or later their hormones（荷尔蒙）push them into the open sea—away from the safe land or childhood. Adolescence, then, is the journey from childhood to adulthood. Some find the journey quite easy. For others, it’s very difficult.

A．teachers B．teenagers C．parents D．students

A．they don’t go to visit friends with their parents
B．they stay away from their parents
C．they change physically and emotionally
D．all of the above
20．Why are Anna’s teenage years so different from her childhood
A．Because her appearance(外表) has changed.
B．Because the hormone in her body changes her.
C．Because parents look at Anna differently.
D．Because teachers look at Anna differently.
21．What is the best title for the article
A．The changes from childhood to adolescence
B．A teenager’s life
C．Parents’ attitudes towards teenagers
D．Difficult adolescence
We often describe someone who cannot keep a secret as having a “big mouth”. It turns out that this might not be their fault.
According to Asim Shah, professor at Baylor College of Medicine, US, keeping a secret is difficult. This is because people often have an “obsessive（着迷的）and anxious urge to share it with someone”
An earlier study, led by Anita E. Kelly, a scientist at the University of Notre Dame, US suggested that keeping a secret could cause stress. People entrusted（受委托）with secrets can suffer from depression（压抑）and anxiety according to the Daily Mail.
But with secrets so often getting out, why do people share them at all Shah explained that people often feel that it will help them keep a person as a friend. Another reason people share secrets is guilt（负罪感）over keeping it from someone close to them. A sense of distrust can develop when people who are close do not share it with each other. “Keeping or sharing secrets often puts people in a position of either gaining or losing the trust of someone,” said Shah.
He added that some people easily let secrets slip out. But this doesn’t mean that it is a good idea only to share secrets with quiet people. A quiet person may be someone who keeps everything inside. To tell such a person a secret may cause them stress, and make them talk about the secret.
Shah said that in order to judge whether or not to tell someone a secret, you’d better put yourself in their position. Think about how you would feel to be told that you shouldn’t give the information away. Shah also said that if you accidentally give up someone’s secret, you should come clean about it. Let the person know that their secret isn’t so secret anymore.
22．What did Anita think about secret-keeping
A．It harms relationships between friends.
B．It can cause serious mental（精神的）problems.
C．It keeps strong friendships between people.
D．It can cause a sense of distrust between friends.
23．What is the main idea of Paragraph 5
A．Talkative people are unlikely to keep secrets.
B．Quiet people don’t want to know others secrets.
C．Quiet people suffer less stress from keeping secrets.
D．Quiet people may also want to tell your secrets to others.
24．What is Shah’s suggestion if you accidentally tell someone’s secret
A．You don’t need to keep it a secret anymore.
B．Tell your own secret as an exchange.
C．Tell the person honestly about the fact.
D．Ask the third person to keep it a secret.
25．The underlined phrase “slip out” in Paragraph 5 means “________”.
A．溜走 B．泄露 C．暴露 D．口误
In recent years, there have been many films about robots trying to take over the world. Studies show that up to 20 million factory jobs worldwide could be taken by robots in the next 10 years. Some people are worried about what might happen in the future.
On 8th September, 2020, the Guardian published an article written by a robot called GPT-3. It wrote that “robot” comes from the Greek word for “slave” (奴隶) and humans have nothing to fear from robots because they are only here to help humans. However, the fact that a robot could write such an article has made some people feel even more uneasy. Where is the robot technology heading Can robots and humans work together
YES—they’re here to help humans. Robots are created by humans for humans. Robots take on jobs that are too dangerous for people to do by themselves. Although robots might take some people’s jobs, they will create new types of work, and they will possibly create more jobs than they take away. Besides, robots’ programming could actually make them more trustworthy(值得信赖) than humans, because they are not influenced by feelings.
NO—humans should not trust robots. Robots are already taking over the world. Jobs that used to be done by human beings are now being taken by robots. Although robots are under our control now, that might not always be the case. An experiment in Switzerland found-that some robots had learnt how to lie to each other. With the development of AI(人工智能), robots could start to act in their own interests. Wherever possible, humans should do things themselves.

26．How do people feel when learning that GPT-3 could write an article
A．They feel relaxed. B．They feel nervous.

27．What can’t robots do according to the passage
A．Create new types of work. B．Act in their own interests.
C．Do unsafe work for humans. D．Learn how to lie to humans.
28．What can we learn from the text
A．GPT-3 will take over the world.
B．Some robots have learnt how to be lazy.
C．Robots are still under the control of humans now.
D．20 million people fear that they will lose their jobs.
29．What would be the best title for the text
A．Should humans trust robots
B．Will robots do harm to humans
C．Should humans do things themselves
D．Will robots become the owner of the world
