一、阅读理解
1.阅读理解
Palaces are known for their beauty and splendor, but they offer little protection against attacks. It is easy to defend a fortress (堡垒),but fortresses are not designed with the comfort of a king or queen in mind. When it comes to structures that are both majestic and well-defended, the classic European castle is the best example of design. Across the ages castles changed, developed, and eventually fell out of use, but they still command the fascination of our culture.
Castles were originally built in England by Norman invaders. In 1066. As William the Conqueror advanced through England, he defended key positions to secure the land he had taken. The castles he built allowed the Norman lords to draw back to safety when threatened by English rebellion. Castles also served as bases of operation for offensive attacks. Troops were summoned to(召集), organized around, and deployed (部署) from castles. In this way castles served both offensive and defensive roles in military operations.
Not limited to military purposes, castles also served as offices from which the lord would administer control over his kingdom. That is to say, the lord of the land would hold court in his castle. Those that were socially beneath the lord would come to report the affairs of the lands that they governed and pay tribute to the lord. They would address conflicts, handle business, feast, and enjoy festivities, In this way castles served as important social centers in medieval England. Castles also served as symbols of power. Built on important and noticeable sites overlooking the surrounding areas, castles constantly appeared in the background of many peasants' lives and served as a daily reminder of the lords strength.
Now, castles no longer serve their original purposes. However, the remaining castles receive millions of visitors each year from those who wish to experience the glory of a time long passed.
(1)The author introduces the topic of the text by _______.
A.making an assumption B.giving an example C.making comparison D.giving arguments
(2)Why did William the Conqueror build castles
A.He wanted to celebrate his victory. B.He wanted to remind people of his influence.
C.He wanted to live peacefully with the English. D.He wanted to use them to his military advantage.
(3)Which of the following is a way the lord would adopt to show his power
A.Dealing with conflicts in his castle. B.Building his castle in an obvious place.
C.Carrying out social activities in his castle. D.Commanding peasants to live near his castle.
(4)What attracts people to visit castles today
A.The splendid history. B.The special architecture.
C.The tense atmosphere. D.The superior comfort.

My daughters are lovely and attractive. The 4-yearold has big blue eyes and easy laughter. The 7-year old's long strawberry blond hair and sweet smile are already turning the boys' heads. I love everything about these girls. and they know it.
But I try not to tell them they' re beautiful. My young daughters are totally innocent about the pressures of being a woman in our society. They know nothing about plastic surgery, diets. "feeling fat", or eating disorders. We adults know all too much about such things and in the face of this cruel reality we tend to start telling our girls,as soon and often as possible, how beautiful they are. Here's the thing. though. What we're also doing is bringing the beauty pressure home to our littlest girls. The more I talk about beauty and looks, even in a positive way. ,the more I'm conveying the importance of those things.
However, it doesn't mean I don't praise my girls. Instead of saying "You look beatutiful!" I might say the more specific "Don't you look fancy today!" or "Those colors go so well together. " It means that I treat my daughters not as my little dolls, but as real people who are developing their own sense of self and style. It means that they are in change of how they look.
Naturally, I buy most of my girls clothes. But I don't usually manage their outfit (整套衣服)choices. My daughters can go girly with necklaces and head-to-toe pink, or they can choose to give up dresses altogether. Of course we've seen some mismatching, but they own those styles. They never ask if they look pretty, and they walk with an easy confidence that has nothing to do with what l or anyone else will say about how they look. And that's the confident spirit I want them to take into their teens and adulthood.
(1)What do the author's two daughters have in common
A.Both like to smile. B.Both have blond hair.
C.Both like strawberries. D.Both have big blue eyes.
(2)Why is the author unwilling to tell her girls that they are beautiful
A.She prefers inner beauty. B.She expects them to face reality.
C.She wants them to focus less on it. D.She doesn't think they can understand it.
(3)How does the author treat her daughters
A.She avoids praising them. B.She pays attention to their unique style.
C.She is particular about their clothes. D.She sets strict clothing rules for them.
(4)Which of the following best describe the author's daughters
A.They are fully confident. B.They are highly dependent
C.They tend to take advice from their mother. D.They have a good taste in dressing themselves.

Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.
People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.
The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.
I see people trapped in a pathological(病态的) relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.
What is a healthy use of technology devices That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.” But it's time to discover that it does not work for technology.
Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledged that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantastic without today's overused technology.
(1)The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.
A.advantage B.attraction C.adaption D.attempt
(2)From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.
A.attract people to buy their products B.provide the latest information
C.improve people's quality of life D.deal with cultural diseases
(3)It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.
A.consider too much technology wonderful B.have realized the harm of high-tech devices
C.can regain freedom without high-tech devices D.may enjoy life better without overusing technology

The road to happiness
We all know that money can't buy happiness, but many times we act as if we'd be happier with a bit more money. We are trained to want the latest style that television tells us.________But none of that win bring us happiness. No matter how much we earn, no matter how nice our clothing or cars or toys, none of it will make us happier.

Positive thinking. I'm obviously a big proponent of positive thinking as the best way to achieve your goals, but it turns out that it can lead to happiness too.________Happy people feel energetic, in control of their lives, and have a positive attitude to life.
________We have a human need to be close. Having good, supportive friendships, a strong, marriage or close and loving links with our family members will make us much more likely to be happy.
Flow. This is a popular concept on the Internet these days-the state we enter when we are completely focused on the work before us. Having work and leisure that gets you in this state of flow will almost undoubtedly lead to happiness. People find greatest enjoyment not when they're passively mindless, but when they're absorbed in a mindful challenge.

So I downloaded an online educational app named Zuoyebang. Since then, I have been using several kinds of such software, for example, Xuebajun and Haofenshu.

7. Dear Mrs. Green,
How are you doing I'm delighted to be informed that you are interested in the Culture Festival and Science and Technology Festival, which is scheduled for next week at our school. And I'd like to give you a detailed account of them.
The Culture Festival, themed “a glimpse of traditional Chinese culture”, is a joyful occasion where students can bring their favorite traditional handicrafts. As the Spring Festival has just passed, you'd appreciate New Year ornaments such as clippings and New Year Painting in a festive mood. What I expect most is the traditional dance performance and the food carnival for Chinese delicacies, which will surely give you a taste of traditional Chinese rhythms, steps and flavors.
As you know, recent years have witnessed great achievements in after-school activities related to science and technology at our school. Therefore, it will be a hard-won opportunity for you to attend the Science and Technology Festival. During the Festival, AI Robot competitions will be performed, which will absolutely highlight the Festival and give you a general knowledge of the efforts our students have made.
I am firmly convinced that these festivals will not only raise our awareness of preserving our Chinese culture but also inspire our innovative spirit as well. I am looking forward to your joining us then.
Yours,
Li Jin
8. 范文一:
As the Internet combines deeply with education, online learning apps are springing up. Many students have adopted them as efficient learning tools, which may also have negative effects on other students.
In my opinion, online learning apps are an inseparable part of a student's life and should be welcomed. After all they are of great help to our study. For example, when I meet with a problem I can't work out after a few attempts, I will turn to my tutors there. A simple click of the button will bring me the answers, often with detailed analysis and different solutions. Besides, by participating in activities such as talent shows on such websites, I have enjoyed myself and gained confidence.
Of course, it is unwise to rely wholly on such online learning apps. However, they can serve as good helpers to us if we learn to employ their advantages and avoid the disadvantages.
范文二:
Online educational apps divide students. Lijiang believes these apps facilitate his learning and deserve recommending while Suhua feels overwhelmed by the mountainous workload assigned, thus becoming turned off to study.
I personally support learning via educational apps. Firstly, simply by scanning my confused questions into the apps, accurate answers and detailed analyses will immediately pop out. This is beyond rivalry by traditional problem-solving approaches such as turning to teachers or classmates through QQ or Wechat, which normally takes hours or even days before an answer comes up. Secondly, online apps also save my face because no matter how easy the question is, they will meticulously answer it without the otherwise possible ridicule or tease from teachers or peers.
Having said that, never can the lurking threats posed by these apps be ignored. For instance, students might become too dependent on online answers to rack their own brains, which is detrimental to their intellectual advancement and academic pursuit. Therefore, a delicate balance should be stricken between relying on these apps and learners themselves.
