Taking online classes is becoming increasingly popular, but students have different views about it.
Wang Qi, 14I love taking online courses. They give me a lot more choices and freedom. We can choose to learn whatever we want. Also, online classes allow us to study whenever and wherever we want, which is very convenient. Wu Jun, 13I don’t think taking online classes is a good way to study. There are many exciting things on the Internet. Students can be distracted (使分心) from their courses easily. The whole learning process is not as organized as it is in the classroom.
Zhou Siya, 13Online classrooms have some advantages. We might pay more attention to learning when we are alone in front of a computer with no one to distract us. Taking courses online also means we can have more time to use a computer, which is a good way to practice our computer skills. Li Chunjie, 14I think the idea of taking online courses is terrible. It can increase our touch with computers and the radiation (辐射) from them could do harm to the human body, especially our eyes. Also, sitting in front of a computer for a long time without exercising can be harmful to our health.

Tim Berners-Lee is not the most famous inventor in the world. However, his invention has changed our lives. In 2017, he won the Turing Award (图灵奖) for inventing the World Wide Web.
He was born in London, England in 1955. When he was a small boy, Tim was interested in playing with electrical things. He studied science at Oxford University. He made his first computer from an old television at the age of 21.
Tim started working on early computers. At that time, they were much bigger than now. He worked in England and then Switzerland. Tim was really interested in two things, computers and how the brain works. How could the brain connect so many facts so quickly He had to work with people all over the world. They shared information about computers. It was hard to manage all the information. He answered the same questions again and again. It took a lot of time. It was even difficult for computers in the same office in Switzerland to share information. Tim also forgot things easily. Could a computer work like a brain Could it “talk” to other computers
There was an Internet already but it was difficult to use. In 1989, Tim Berners Lee invented the World Wide Web (WWW) all by himself. This had a special language that helped computers talk to each other on the Internet. When people wanted to share information with others. they used the World Wide Web. The Internet grew quickly after that.
Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think he did anything special. He says that all of the ideas about the Internet were already there. All he did was to put them together. He says that many other people worked together to make the Internet what it is today.
Most inventors want to become rich. But Tim gave away the World Wide Web for nothing. He now works in America. He helps people share technology and wants the Internet to be free for everyone to use. Maybe he is the most important but least famous inventor in the world today!

Music is an important part of my life. Recently, it’s been my pleasure to listen to many different kinds of English-language music. What kind of music do you like best Jazz, country or rock
I like country music best because it is easy to learn. It first became popular in the southern part of the United States in the 1920s. This kind of music shows us the unique attitude that Americans hold towards life. Country music is like a kind of pop music with American characteristics.
Listening to songs in English can cultivate (培养) our knowledge of the English language. I always take notes about the lyrics while listening to English-language songs. For example, my favorite song is Taylor Swift’s Sweeter Than Fiction, which was first released in 2013. The song is about the rise-to-fame story of Paul Potts, who won Britain’s Got Talent (《英国达人秀》) in 2007. Its lyrics are very inspiring (鼓舞人心的). I wrote them down to motivate myself. By listening to this song, I can remind myself to follow my dreams. If I never give up, they will come true some day. I once copied the lyrics of the song Dream It Possible and sent them to one of my best friends who had failed an important exam. I believe everyone can benefit from listening to music.
When I’m listening to music, I write down new words, remember their pronunciations and spell them over and over again. In this way, I have expanded (扩大) my vocabulary. More importantly, listening to English-language music has further developed my interest in learning English. It has helped me a lot.

Inventions, mostly, change the world for better. The world sees millions of new inventions every year. Here are some of them listed on the magazine TIME recently.
Reading can be a big challenge for a large number of people. They may have some problems with their eyes. OrCam Read can help them! It’s the first of its kind reading pen with a smart camera and an AI system. After scanning (扫描) a page of text with the click of a button (点击按钮), it can read the text aloud to the user. You don’t need to connect it to the Internet.
Getting separated from friends or a family member at a music festival is probably a headache. LynQ helps you find them when you get separated from them. Unlike your smart phones, this small thing does not need Wi-Fi to stay connected. it is a great tool for family vacations or group activities.
When you feel angry or unhappy, what do you do about it Scientists say you can try to calm (使……平静) others. This can help you calm down. That’s why Purrble was invented. This furry, cute bear—like toy has 9 sensors (感应器). It has a quick “heartbeat” and can feel your touch. As you hold and touch it, its heartbeat slows. And it gives a voice like a cat. It sounds like it really enjoys your touch! By touching Purrble, you will understand your own feelings better and learn how to feel calm yourself.

Can you remember a time when you woke up from a fantastic, scary or strange dream
Were you scared to turn on the light or was it so good that you wanted to stay in it longer
Our dreams come from a part of the brain with our thoughts and memories. A person can have up to six dreams a night and each dream usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes. Everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams. Most people forget half of their dreams within five minutes of waking up. After ten minutes, 90 percent of their dreams are usually gone. Most people dream in color, usually with a sound. And we usually dream about ourselves and the people we know.
But why do we dream Alan Siegel is a scientist who studies dreams. “Dreams help us get in touch with our deeper feelings,” he says. “They can tell us a lot about ourselves and can help us find out problems.” Another scientist, Robert Stickgold, thinks dreams come from our memories. He believes we dream to remember because our memories are useful to the brains. Robert says the purpose of dreaming through these memories is to help us to learn from the past.
Here are some types of dreams and what people think they mean.
Dream 1. You meet someone in your pajamas: Sometimes people dream that they meet someone they know while wearing their underwear! This dream may be the result of an embarrassing event in your life. Some people think we dream about embarrassing situations if our brains are trying to deal with an event in our own lives.
Dream 2: You are in the air: If you dream about flying, you are probably quite happy. This is a good period in your life. You may feel you are able to do anything and that other people see you as a leader.
Dream 3: You didn’t study for a test: This probably means you are worried about an important event coming in your life. If you’re not prepared for the event, your dream may be telling you. “It’s time to get to work!”
Dream 4: Some disasters happen: It might be an earthquake or a fire. They may probably show that you are feeling scared by events out of your control.
28．What is the purpose (目的) of the first paragraph
A．To ask some questions. B．To lead into the topic.
C．To show his opinions. D．To describe different dreams.
29．The writer uses the words of Alan to support the idea ________.
A．dreams come from our memories
B．we can control our dreams if we try to
C．dreams help us understand our feelings and problems
D．everyone dreams, but not everyone remembers their dreams
30．What kind of dream does it belong to if you dream of the outbreak of COVID-19
A．Dream 1. B．Dream 2. C．Dream 3. D．Dream 4.
31．According to the passage, which of the following sentences is true
A．If you have different experiences, you might have different dreams.
B．The more you dream, the better memory you will have.
C．Everyone’s dream comes with sounds and colors.

Do you know that vocabulary is more important than grammar If you have good vocabulary, you can communicate successfully, even if the grammar is not completely perfect.
However, one common problem is learning new words and then forgetting them. So, when you want to use a new word in a conversation, you can’t remember it at that moment. Does this often happen to you The reason for this difficulty is that most students try to learn vocabulary by studying lists and dictionaries and remembering the words. But it may not work if you don’t have a very good memory.
The best way to learn vocabulary and remember the words successfully is to learn new words and use them at once. You can do this with a very simple exercise. Each time you learn a new word, for example, from an English lesson or an article, write it down in your vocabulary notebook. Writing is more active than just reading a definition（释义）. You should write the word, the definition in English or translation, one example sentence from the article or dictionary and one example sentence that you create.
Imagine you just learn the word “generous”, write in your vocabulary notebook: generous (adjective), definition—giving or willing to give freely. Example One, from the article: Thanks for paying for my dinner, you’re very generous. Example Two, my example: My brother is generous because he volunteers at the animal shelter on weekends. It’s best if your example sentences are true to your life, because this creates a personal connection with the new word. The next day, read your vocabulary notebook again and try to add one more example sentence using the new word. It’s helpful for you to remember it. These two simple steps—writing the word and using it at once—help you remember and use new words.
32．The passage was mainly written to ________.
A．English teachers B．language learners
C．English writers D．language readers
33．The correct order of taking vocabulary notes is ________.
a. Make your own example sentence.
b. Write the word, its English definition or translation.
c. Copy an example sentence from the article or dictionary.
d. Read your notebook again and add one more example sentence.
A．b-c-a-d B．b-c-d-a C．c-d-b-a D．c-b-a-d
34．How can we make the best example sentences according to the writer ________
A．By asking for help from friends.
B．By explaining words’ definitions.
C．By connecting them with our life.
D．By adding words from the article.
35．The best title of the passage is ________.
A．Tips for Translating Words
B．Advice on Using Grammar
C．Abilities of Creating Examples
D．Ways of Learning New Words

I still remember that summer in 2018. It was a World Cup summer—a time when my friends and I got together around the television, cheering on our favorite soccer team. Every night, we were shouting, and jumping up and down. We are the type of fans who get really into the games. We even make a New Year wish to fly to Qatar this year. We dream to watch 2022 World Cup live.
Why are we so crazy Maybe it’s the game’s camaraderie: the feeling that the team on the field is our team; their win is our victory, and their loss is our failure. Or maybe it’s the game’s international quality. In countries like France, England, Spain, and Brazil, major teams have players from many different nations, and these teams now have fans all over the world.
But I think the main reason may be this: It’s a simple game. Anyone can play it. “You don’t need to be rich to play soccer,” says historian Peter Alegi. “You just need an open space and something like a ball, a bottle, or even some bags tied together.” Even in some war areas, you can see children and adults play on the street, often with handmade balls. That’s why soccer becomes the most loved sport.
In human history, people have played some kinds of the kicking game. What the world now calls football—or soccer in the United States—began as far back as 2500 B．C．with the Chinese game of cuju. However, the sport we know today first appeared in Britain. In the 1840s, England’s Football Association made a set of rules, and the modern game was born. Today, more than 200 million players all over the world take part in the game, truly making soccer the world’s sport.
Surprisingly, many of the game’s best players come from poor families in African nations, including Senegal, Ivory Coast and Ghana. Through their hard work, these best players achieve success and find their value. “Soccer is the love of everyone here,” says Abubakari, a teacher who works in Tamale, Ghana. “It gives people hope and makes us strong.”
40．The modern soccer game was born in ________.
A．China B．America C．Africa D．Britain
41．The underlined word “camaraderie” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A．共情 B．亲情 C．悲情 D．同情
42．In Paragraph 3, the sentence “It’s a simple game” is written to show that ________.
A．the rules are easy for people to understand
B．people can play it almost anywhere with almost anything
C．people need much talent to play it
D．there are only a few different kinds of the game
43．This passage is mainly about ________.
A．the history of soccer B．the popularity of soccer
C．different soccer teams D．best soccer players

Most Chinese parents have great expectations(期望) for their children. When children are born, their parents have planned everything for them. It is common for parents to want their children to be successful. However, many children in China are unhappy. They live a planned life and are asked to fulfill their parents’ dreams.
In my opinion, there are two sides of parents’ expectations. On the one hand, the expectations can encourage children to work harder for a better life. According to some studies, whether a child will be successful or not depends mostly on his or her parents’ expectations. But on the other hand, unrealistic(不切实际的) expectations can be harmful to children. Every child has his or her own thoughts and feelings. Parents’ expectations can take children’s freedom away. Wise parents allow their children to have some freedom. They encourage their children to do things they like to do and never only care about their grades.
My parents’ expectations for me are to be happy, kind and healthy. They never put too much pressure on me, so I live a happy life. However, I have my own dreams. I keep working hard, though my parents do not want me to do so. I will never give up because my parents always encourage me when I am in trouble. In a word, I think parents’ expectations are necessary. However, parents should not give their children too much pressure. Instead, they should give them enough freedom. Parents must make sure their expectations for their children are realistic so that their children will not lose their self-confidence(自信).
44．The meaning of the underlined word fulfill in Chinese is ________.
A．实现 B．充满 C．回忆 D．保证
45．The main idea in Para.(自然段) 2 is ________.
A．parents’ expectations can encourage children to work harder
B．parents’ expectations can be harmful to children
C．parents’ expectations have two sides
D．parents’ expectations are too hard
46．The writer’s parents expect him ________.
A．to work hard and realize their dreams B．to study hard and get high test grades
C．to be smart and successful D．to be happy, kind and healthy
47．According to the passage, the writer thinks ________.
A．parents’ expectations for their children are useless
B．parents’ expectations for their children are useful
C．parents’ expectations for their children are harmful
D．parents’ expectations for their children are simple

Alexis is ten years old and lives in a small village on a beautiful Greek island. He has just come to Grade 5. But Alexis is different from other children at his age. He doesn’t spend the summer on the beach or playing video games. In the busy summer months, Alexis spends his days in his family’s restaurant. In July and August, the restaurant is very popular with tourists from all over the world. Because he is the only person in his family who can speak English, it is his job to look after the tourists when they eat at the restaurant. He explains the menu to tourists and takes their orders.

As we walk the “path (道路) of life”, we may sometimes wish to be alone with our own thoughts, for quiet moments of reflection can lead to personal improvement. However, when we want to be alone, we must be careful that we do not always jump into our own world. Social life is also important to all of us.
As we live in social groups, there are many benefits (益处) of friendship that we can enjoy. Generally speaking, close friendships have three “fruits”: they may comfort the heart, advise the head and help us achieve the goals we set for ourselves. Through friendship, we can become happier, wiser and more satisfied humans.
The first fruit of friendship is the peace that comes from sharing with friends our joy, sadness, success and failure. Here, friendship has a double advantage—happiness takes on a greater meaning and a trouble shared becomes a trouble halved! Naturally, this kind of openness results from a close friendship. We know that our friends will both respect our feelings and treasure these moments of closeness.
The second fruit of friendship is the better understanding and judgement that may be achieved through conversations with well-meaning and wise friends. We often find it easier to recognize other people’s weaknesses than our own. As a result, if we are guided only by our own feelings, our judgements (评判) might be one-sided. On the other hand, our friends are better able to offer advice on important decisions that we all have to make. This helps make our thoughts clearer and brings us a more thorough (彻底的) understanding of our problems .
The third fruit of friendship is the help that a friend may offer in many different ways. Sometimes a friend is even known as our “second self”. There are so many things in life that can only be achieved with the help of friends. Friends may have many different ideas and skills.
Finally, it should be pointed out that enjoying the company of a crowd is not the same as being with friends. Friends should be carefully chosen and relationships carefully developed. In this way, we can better walk the “path of life”with the comfort, advice and help from our trusted friends.
56．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT the “fruit” of close friendships
A．Comforting our hearts with peace. B．Achieving our goals with friends’ help.
C．Guiding our own feelings easily. D．Understanding our problems better.
57．We can achieve better understanding by talking with wise friends because ________.
A．it is more difficult to realize other people’s weaknesses than ourselves
B．our judgements won’t be one-sided if we are guided only by our feelings
C．our friends are able to offer better advice on our important decisions
D．it gives us a chance to completely understand our friends’ problems
58．Which shows the best structure of the passage
A． B．
C． D．
59．What is the best title for the passage
A．Walking the Path of Life B．Understanding of Friendship

Scientists in Britain and the United States have made a new kind of enzyme（酵素）that eats plastics（塑料）. With its help, plastics can be turned into smaller parts and go away quickly. Scientists believe that, in the future, it could solve the problem of plastic pollution.
The enzyme is able to break down PET, a form of plastic. PET was first made in the 1940s and is now widely used to make plastic bottles. It can remain in the environment for many years and pollute large areas of land and water. So it has always been a headache to deal with the waste from PET and other plastics.
The researchers made the discovery（发现）while examining the structure of a natural enzyme in Japan. They found that the natural enzyme was helping to break down PET plastics. So, they decided to make small changes to the enzyme by adding some amino acids（氨基酸）. It made the natural enzyme’s plastic-eating abilities work faster and better.
John McGeehan, one of the lead researchers, said, “We’ve made an improved enzyme. It’s better than the natural one. And we are trying to make more improvements to it.” He went on, “The enzyme is not harmful to humans or animals, and it is friendly to the environment. So we are considering putting it into wider use.”
The team is now trying to make the enzyme break down PET in large quantities（大量的）. “We’ll see that the plastic pollution may be stopped with this technology. However, there is still a long way to go,” John McGeehan added.
60．According to the scientists, the enzyme may solve the problem of ________ pollution.
A．air B．water C．light D．plastic
61．About PET, which one is true in the passage
A．It’s a form of plastic.
B．It was first made in 1940.

A．in B．in the US C．in Japan D．in China
63．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage

C．The natural enzyme woks better than the improved one.
D．The natural enzyme is harmful to humans and animals.

Could the students from less developed areas in central and western China get the same educational chances as those in big cities in the east Could the children in poor rural (农村) areas develop as well as those in rich cities Maybe the answers were “No” in the past. But now, China is trying to change the situation.
In order to help rural students grow taller and stronger, China’s Nutrition (营养) Improvement Program started in 2011. According to the program, a lot more money was spent improving students’ meals. More than 36 million students from 134,000 primary and junior high schools in poor rural areas have benefited from the program. They are provided with healthy food like eggs and milk from Monday to Friday at school. And the result of a survey shows that the students in those areas are much taller and stronger than before.
It is true that there were differences between less developed areas and developed areas in education before. Recently, The Guideline for Popularizing High School Education (2017-2020) has come out. According to the guideline, above 90% students from all over the country will go to high schools by 2020. What’s more, the schools in central and western areas will get more support to improve their education.
Students from rural and poor areas also get more chances to receive higher education. A special college program makes it possible for more students from those areas to go to key (重点的) colleges and universities. The number will be increased by 10% in 2017.
With the guideline and the programs, we can expect a fairer and more balanced (均衡的) education in the future.

I really love this job because I enjoy working with small children. I also think my work is very important. But there was a time when I thought I would never have a job like this.
I wasn’t the best student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. Just before I left school, I started thinking what I might do and found that there’s not much I could do. I thought I wasn’t that kind of person to have a job.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls for a family. It wasn’t difficult at first. But problems began when I agreed to live in, so that my owner could go out to work in the evenings. I got very tired because I had too many late nights and early mornings with children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Mary who was my classmate. I told her about my job. She said that I should get a qualification(资格证书) if I wanted to work with children. And it would help me learn more skills to look after children better without feeling too tired. Her idea made sense. I decided to take part-time lessons. So I left the family. All the lessons helped me look after children better and helped me get a job at a kindergarten(幼儿园).
Now I have a job as a teacher at a kindergarten. I should be thankful to Mary.
