A
A tree has roots. People have roots too, If you get to the root of a problem, you will solve it. It's the same thing with words. Dig deeply into a big, unfamiliar word and you will understand where it came from
As readers, especially those reading in a second language, we need to deal with the text as if we were detectives (侦探) looking for information to unlock the unknown. Like any good detective arriving on the crime scene, the first thing to do when meeting a new and difficult word is to judge the situation, to look at everything that is known and see if it helps us to understand what it means.
As you know, prefixes (前缀) and suffixes (后缀) can be added to the beginning or end of words to change the meaning. Know them, and you will have the word building power. But root words are the key. Take time to learn a few of these, put them in your memory, and you will become a master word detective.
Let's look at one common root word used in English. “Alter” from the Latin word means “other”. When you meet this root word, you know that the bigger word has something to do with “other”, Examine the word “alternate. Can you find the Latin root in it
If you and your friend like to eat out, first you pay and the other pays the next time. You are alternating paying. If you go to the movies on alternate Saturdays, you go on one Saturday, but not the other Saturday. If you have no alternative, you have no other choice.
Learn as many root words as possible in the language you are studying. Then use your “rooting for words” skills. Like any new skill, practice and hard work are always paid back.
What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.The situation. B.The crime scene.
C.A new and difficult word. D. Everything that is known.
47. If Jim and Lily go to the movies, which one below is “alternating paying”
A. They each pay half. B. Jim pays every time.
C. They take turns to pay. D.Their parents pay for them.
48. How does the author explain his ideas about root words
A. By giving a fact. B. By taking an example.
C. By telling a story. D. By having a discussion.
49.“Sen” from the Latin word means “old”. Which word uses this Latin root
A. My brother is my senior by two years.
B. He was ill so he was absent from school.
A criminal was sentenced to death by law.
60 students were present at the sports meeting.
50. What should you do if you want to use your “rooting for words” skills well
A. You should use your dictionary first.
B. You should practice and work hard.
C.You should work as a detective.
D. You should make more examples.
B
The carmaker Volvo announced this week that it would only make electric vehicles (车辆) in 2030. Volvo is the second large car company to say it will stop making traditional internal combustion engines (传统内燃机). In January, American carmaker General Motors said it would only make electric vehicles in 2035.
Henrik Green is Volvo's chief technology officer (首麻技术官). Green says that the first reason for the move to electric vehicle production is to help Volvo meet (满足) the expectations of their customers. Second, there is no long-term future for cars with traditional engines. Third, it will be a helpful way to fight against air pollution. As governments try to reduce pollution, more carmakers like Volvo are increasing production of electric vehicles.
If you want to buy one of these volvos in about nine years, you will have to make your order online. You will still be able to look at cars at a volvo store now. The Volvo stores, which are known as dealership(经销商), will remain in place so that customers can look at cars and have them repaired.
In making the announcement, Volvo says it also plans to show a new eclectic vehicle. The company hopes that in four years, half of its sales around the world will come from electric vehicles. The other half will come from cars known as hybrid cars. Hybrid cars use mixed power of electric and traditional engine to move the vehicles.
Volvo sold about 660,000 cars worldwide last year. Around the world, about 2-and-a-half million electric vehicles were sold last year and analysts (分析家) expect that to increase by 70% in 2021.
By 2030_________will have stopped making traditional internal combustion engines.
A.Volvo B.General Motors
C.both Volvo and General Motors D. neither Volvo nor General Motors
52.__________reasons for the Volvo's move to electric vehicle production are mentioned
A.Two B.Three C. Four D. Five
53. Who is the chief technology office of Volve
A.General Motors B.Volve C. Henry Smith D.Henrik Green
54. How many cars did Volve sell in the year 2020
A. About six hundred and sixty thousand.
B. About six million.
C. About 2-and-a-half million.
D. About 70% of the year 2021.
55. What does the writer want to tell us
A.Traditional internal combustion will be more popular.
B. The government doesn't want to fight against air pollution.
C.Volvo will only make electric vehicles in 2030
D.Volve is the largest car company in the world.

We all know doing exercise makes us healthy, But many of us don't know which is better, to exercise in the day or at night. Dr, Yang, a famous sleep doctor, advises people to do outdoor exercise for at least 30minutes a day in the daytime.
Dr. Yang has been doing research on sports and sleep for years. He finds out that those who exercise in natural light for half an hour every day have better sleep and more energy(能量). Dr. Yang himself gets up at 6:30 am, Then he usually takes a walk outside. Sometimes, he walks his two dogs in the park in the afternoon with his sunglasses left at home.
Many schools put Dr. Yang's findings into practice. They made it a rule that students should do outdoor exercise once or twice a day. In some schools, students even formed outdoor running clubs. After some time, most students said they benefited(受益) a lot from outdoor exercise. Now they sleep better and concentrate(集中)more on their studies.
Some students are now thinking about inviting their teachers to join them in their daily runs.
According to Dr. Yang, when is it better to exercise, in the day or at night
What is Dr. Yang's research about
What does Dr. Yang usually do after he gets up
How often do students do outdoor exercise in many schools
Who will some students invite to join in their daily runs

What is the most stressful thing in school It is probably exams. Exams can put us under a lot of pressure. But some students do well under pressure, while others feel terrible. _____61___
Because it all comes down to dopamine (多巴胺)_____62___It has many important roles, influencing memory, attention and how we learn. Our brains work best when there is an even balance(平衡)of dopamine-not too much or too little.
_____63___ It either takes out dopamine quickly, or slowly. Exam success can be related to how fast dopamine goes back to an even balance. What happens when we sit for an exam If you become stressed, your brain will start to overload (超负荷)on dopamine._____64___ The quicker you are able to go back to an even balance of dopamine, the quicker you can fix yourself perform better on a test.
Scientists found that, during a test, people who slowly got back to an even balance of dopamine scored 8 percent lower. That's the difference between a good mark and a bad mark. But don't fear, there is some good news. The study also found that the more practice you get, the less stressed you'll be._____65___
