Every culture has a recognised point when a child becomes an adult, when rules must be followed and tests must be passed.
In China, although teenagers can get their ID cards at 16, many only see themselves as an adult when they are 18. In the US, the main step to the freedom of adult life is learning to drive. At 16, American teens take their driving test. When they have their license, they drive into the grown-up world.
“Nobody wants to ride the bus to school,” said Eleanor Fulham, 17. She remembered the pressure. “It’s like you’re not cool if you don’t have a car,” she said.
According to recent research, 41% of 16-to 19-year-olds in the US own cars, up from 23% in 1985. Although, most of these cars are bought by parents, some teens get part-time jobs to help pay.
Not all families can afford cars for their children. In cities with subways and limited parking, some teenagers don’t want them. But in rich suburban areas without subways, and where bicycles are more for fun than transportation, it is strange for a teenager not to have a car.
But the police say 16-year-olds have almost three times more accidents than 18-to 19-year-olds. This has made many parents pause before letting their kids drive.
Julie Sussman decided that her son Chad, 15, will wait until he is 17 to apply for his learner’s permit.
Chad said he had accepted his parents’ decision, although it had caused some teasing from his friends.“They say that I am unlucky,” he said.“But I’d rather be alive than driving, and I don’t really trust my friends on the road, either.”
In China as more families get cars, more 18-year-olds learn to drive.

The 90-minute long game involves two goals, black and white checkered balls, goalkeeper, and no hand use. This sport, of course, is soccer or football, as the majority of the rest of the world says. It’s confusing that some countries call this sport “football” while Americans and Canadians say “soccer”, but apparently the British are mostly to blame.
The name confusion was actually thanks to British universities in the early 1800s who tried standardising various sports games that had different rules and regulations to distinguish between them, according to a paper by Stefan Szymanski, a professor of sports economics at the University of Michigan.
Rugby, formerly known as “rugby football” or “rugger”, is a translation of “football” where you can use your hands. Soccer, originally “association football” or “asoccer”, is the traditional translation of “football” where people don’t use their hands. People in England started shortening the names by dropping the “association” part of the phrase as well as the “a” in “asoccer”. If your head hurts from thinking about this, prepare to have your mind blown by these things you probably never thought about—until just now.
Now comes the complexity: in 1869, two colleges held the first traditional, recorded football game using a unique combination of rules from both rugby and soccer, creating what we know as “American football” and what other countries refer to as “gridiron”. Thanks to the popularity of American football, soccer players in America keep to “soccer” to help distinguish themselves.
If the name “soccer” stuck in Britain, and if Americans came up with a better one for American football, there would be much less confusion. So why did the “football” short kind of “association football” become more popular than “soccer” in England anyway Originally, American influence on Britain during World War Ⅱ made “soccer” the popular term in England before the 1980s. Once the sport became more popular in the United States around that time, the British stopped using “soccer”.
4.What caused the name confusion in the early 1800s
A.Game time.
B.Sports rules.
C.Ball popularity.
D.News organisations.
5.What does the underlined sentence mean in paragraph 3
A.The name confusion is becoming stronger.
B.You cannot use your hands while playing games.
C.The names make it more difficult for people to understand.
D.Making the best of the head in the sports is extremely vital.
6.In which of the following do the two belong to the same one
A.“Rugby” and “Soccer”.
B.“Rugger” and “American football”.
C.“American football” and “Gridiron”.
D.“Gridiron” and “Association football”.

Why do we like drinking water from plastic bottles Some people think it is healthy and clean. Others drink bottled water because it’s easy—you can carry it around with you. In hot countries, like Greece, we often buy bottles of cold water in summer.
However, making lots of plastic is not a good idea for many reasons. First of all, we need a lot of oil for plastic products. We usually use oil as a source of energy. If we reduced the number of bottles we made, we wouldn’t need so much oil. Plastic bottles also pollute the environment. If we reused all our plastic bottles, we wouldn’t need so much space for rubbish dumps. But in Greece, we don’t reuse much of the plastic we use. In 2006, Greeks reused only about 10% of plastic waste. The rest became rubbish on land and in rivers and seas.
So next time you want to throw away a plastic bottle in the litter bin, stop and think. If you reuse it, you will help the environment. But what can you do when there isn’t a bin near you Well, there are lots of useful ways that you can use your bottles again. For example, an empty bottle makes a great piggy bank for your pocket money, and if you cut a bottle in half, you will have a plant pot. Go green! You can make a difference.
7.What is not mentioned about bottled water in this passage
A.It’s healthy.
B.It’s clean.
C.It’s easy.
D.It’s expensive.
8.Plastic products are made from .
A.energy B.oil
C.rubbish D.plants
9.Which is the best way to deal with used plastic bottles
A.To reuse them.
B.To make a piggy bank.
C.To make a plant pot.
D.To drop them into the river.
10.The underlined part in this passage tells us “ ”.
A.To make a different life, you’d better go outside
B.To look different, you’d better wear green clothes
C.To protect the environment, you can do something
D.To go green, you should use plastic products

Several years ago, when someone used camera covers to protect against possible monitoring, it was not popular to talk about it. Today, people use various types of tapes to cover the web cameras and microphones.
There are many types of spyware that can dive into our devices and secretly spy on them, recording everything they do. Such programmes may infect not only computers but also smartphones. Your data may be used by hackers who will try to request money for not exposing your private information or by companies like NSO Group who created a kind of spyware to “provide authorised governments with technology that helps struggle against terror and crime”.
In my opinion, the protection technique is highly overestimated. Users tape the cameras and microphones through lack of understanding of how their devices work and how the malware(恶意软件) works. Hackers and even secret services do not have enough resources to monitor all victims using the cameras or microphones. If they need to get any information, they get it by sending a targeted virus to your device, which will not be stopped by the tapes. Such a virus will find what to steal—from personal photos and videos to passwords from social networks, browser history, bank accounts and so on.
It is unwise to believe that attackers will not be able to find a way to spy on you, even if the device, discharged to zero, can still deliver data about your location, using the smartphones of the surrounding people as signal repeaters. Let us face it: we live in an era when it is extremely difficult to hide something and a piece of tape is clearly not the most useful tool in the struggle for your privacy.
Again, to be able to spy on you, attackers need to plant the malware in your device. To prevent the malware from entering your device, do not click suspected links and email attachments. Use strong passwords for email, social media and online bank accounts.
1.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 2 refer to
A.Cameras. B.Types.
C.Programmes. D.Devices.
2.What is NSO Group
A.A group of hackers.
B.A company developing spyware.
C.A group of terrorists and criminals.
D.A company fighting against crime.
3.Why does the author think “the protection technique is highly overestimated”
A.People know little about their devices.
B.Hackers have no access to others.
C.It hardly prevents the malware from getting privacy.
D.It can’t cover the cameras completely.

Ever since she received a little toy airliner as a birthday gift, Kate has been attracted by flight. From flying remote-controlled airplanes to building her own model ones, Kate has always considered flying a plane one of her passions, but only until recently has she been able to take that to new heights.
When Kate heard about the Upwind Scholarship from her school counselor, she knew it was an extraordinary opportunity to realise her dream. The programme’s mission is to provide all the training necessary to obtain a private pilot’s license (PPL) for students in between their junior and senior year of high school free of charge.
After completing a lengthy application and her subsequent acceptance into the programme, Kate began her training last spring. Normally, recipients of the scholarship would attend ground school in person where they learn the fundamentals of flying. Due to the pandemic, however, Kate spent hours each weekend studying online lessons in her room whenever she got a break from homework. Once summer came around, Kate and three peers put in two straight weeks of ground school, reviewing flight training from nine to five every day.“It was the toughest part of the programme,” Kate said.
After completing that portion of ground school, Kate was finally able to begin flying at the San Carlos Airport with the other scholarship recipients from around the Bay Area. Flying, especially for first-timers like Kate, is a hands-on process involving lots of checklists to make sure the important tasks are being taken care of.
Now, having finished the programme and earned her PPL, Kate plans on training as a flight instructor and hopes to become an airline pilot in her future.
She credits the Upwind Scholarship to all she’s been able to accomplish so far and hopes that anyone who shares her passion will look into it.“It is a very hard scholarship to win, and you have to be truly interested in flight,” Kate said.“It can’t be something like ‘Oh, why don’t I try flying this summer ’ You have to be ready to do a lot of work and put effort into succeeding in the programme.”
4.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 1 refer to
A.Her skill of building model airplanes.
B.Her wish to travel around the world.
C.Her childhood dream of becoming a pilot.
D.Her desire to fly remote-controlled airplanes.
5.What is the goal of the Upwind Scholarship
A.To help students in need to achieve their dreams.
B.To provide necessary training for private pilots for free.
C.To give students expert advice on earning a scholarship.
D.To prepare high school students to become a private pilot.
6.What did Kate do in ground school
A.She took online lessons on flying.
B.She went over the fundamentals of flying.
C.She did some research into the pandemic.
D.She finished applying for the programme.
7.Which of the following best describes Kate
A.Confident and aggressive.
B.Strong-willed and patient.
C.Demanding and courageous.
D.Ambitious and hard-working.

Every four or five years, vast quantities of warm water build up along the west coast of South America. This phenomenon, El Ni o, creates storms that cause destructive floods. The result is costly.
Modern farmers come to terms with El Ni o. They use money saved in good years to rebuild in bad ones. But history suggests it need not be like that. In a paper published recently, Ari Caramanica, an archaeologist in Lima, shows how it used to be done. And the answer seems to be “better”.
Dr Caramanica and her colleagues have been studying the Pampa de Mocan, a coastal desert plain in northern Peru. It is not suitable for farming. Its soil contains little organic matter and the annual rainfall in non-Ni o years is usually less than two centimetres. Today’s farmers therefore depend on canals to carry water from local rivers to their fields.
It had been assumed that ancient farmers had a similar arrangement—and so they did. But Dr Caramanica also found eight canals that could carry water far beyond the range of modern farms. She thought that they were intended to guide the floodwaters arriving during Ni o years. Around a quarter of the ancient agricultural infrastructure of this area seemed to have been built only for managing Ni o-generated floodwaters.
Evidence from pollen supports this theory, revealing that the Pampa de Mocan produced lots of crops in some years, while remaining nearly barren in others. The team also uncovered two cisterns(蓄水箱) in the area serviced by the extended canals. These, probably, were used to store extra floodwaters.
These findings suggest that, rather than resisting El Ni o, early farmers in the Pampa de Mocan were ready to make use of it when it arrived. Modern farmers might do well to learn from them.
8.What does the recent study focus on
A.Living with El Ni o.
B.Effects of El Ni o.
C.Farming in the desert.
D.Water shortage in Peru.
9.What does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 4 refer to
A.Ancient farmers. B.Rivers.
C.Farms. D.Canals.
10.What lesson can be learned from early farmers
A.Every advantage has its disadvantage.
B.In every difficulty lies an opportunity.
C.Sharp tools make good work.
D.It’s never too late to mend.
11.In which section of a website may this text appear
A.Education. B.Travel.
C.Business. D.Science.

One in five children starting primary school in the UK are overweight. By the time they leave school, that figure will rise to one in three. The chance of them being overweight in adulthood, which brings a range of associated health risks, is high, at 50%-75%.
The root cause of diet-related fatness is no secret: an energy imbalance between the quantity of food being consumed and the level of physical activity being conducted. Addressing this imbalance needs to be, in part, a review of our diet. More fresh ingredients(材料) especially fruit and vegetables, less processed foods and fewer additives(添加剂) are all important factors in building a balanced diet.
The Department of Health has recognised that a collective approach, rather than just individual behaviour change, is a successful way of achieving this. Universal adjustments like a blanket decrease in sugar content influence the way we eat through the choices available to us.
Applying this approach to school kitchens makes sense. They have an important role to play in maintaining healthy diets. Offering a school menu packed with fresh ingredients and without artificial additives makes a direct and effective impact on what children eat at school.
It’s an area the Soil Association consistently works to handle through its Food for Life programme—working with schools to transform food culture, improve food education and encourage lasting changes to the way schools think about food. It works. In Food for Life schools, pupils are a third less likely to eat no fruit or vegetables than those in the control schools.
One way for schools to get involved is a Food for Life Served Here award, which means at least 75% of dishes are prepared on site using fresh ingredients. It encourages local seasonal produce and requires a commitment to environmentally friendly produce. At its heart, the award is designed to support health and enhance food understanding.
Over 50% of English primary schools have such an award already, serving around 1.7 million meals each day to over 10,000 schools and it’s a figure we’ll see grow.
1.What does the underlined word “Addressing” in paragraph 2 mean
A.Tackling. B.Ignoring.
C.Maintaining. D.Postponing.
2.Which approach will work for students to build a balanced diet
A.Stopping them eating alone in schools.
B.Getting them aware of the harm of fatness.
C.Ensuring healthy recipes on school menus.
D.Increasing the availability and flavour of food.
3.What can we say about the Food for Life programme
A.It’s a heavy load on schools.
B.It’s complicated to operate.
C.It’s a temporary project.
D.It’s a fruitful attempt.
4.Which type of food may the Food for Life Served Here award promote
A.Sugary snacks.
B.First-class sausages.

Perhaps thousands of people have searched for a bronze chest full of gold and jewels hidden in the Rocky Mountains between Santa Fe and the Canadian border hidden by an adventurer. At least four people died in their search for the treasure.
But it’s all over now. Fenn’s treasure has been found. The 89-year-old adventurer named Forrest Fenn, who created the treasure hunt, announced the news via his website.“I don’t know the person who found it, but the poem in my book led him to the precise spot,” Fenn wrote.“The treasure was confirmed by a photograph the lucky finder sent me.”
Forrest Fenn, the man who started the hunt, lives in Santa Fe. He was a pilot in the Vietnam War and later accumulated(积累) his wealth as a dealer in art and antiques. Fenn was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer in 1988 and had planned to die peacefully in the woods with his treasure. But when his cancer became less serious, he changed his plan, eventually writing the poem that described his dream resting place, which is where he hid the treasure. The poem appeared in a memoir called The Thrill of the Chase. Fenn said that the chest wouldn’t be found by accident; only a treasure hunter who correctly interpreted the clues would find it.
Several treasure hunters went missing while attempting to find the chest, including hunter Jeff Murphy and Mike Petersen, both of whom went missing in Yellowstone National Park in 2017. Fenn said that he had never been to that park, and that the treasure was not in a dangerous place.“It was in the thick forest of the Rocky Mountains and had not been moved from the spot where I hid it more than 10 years ago,” Fenn wrote on his website. It is illegal to remove anything from a national park, which would cause trouble in legally claiming the treasure if it was found there.
5.What contributed to the finding of the treasure
A.Fenn’s announcement.
B.A poem in Fenn’s book.
C.Fenn’s vivid description.
D.A photo on Fenn’s website.
6.What is the third paragraph mainly about
A.Who Forrest Fenn was.
B.Where Fenn hid the treasure.
C.How the treasure hunt began.
D.What Fenn did to find the treasure.
7.What can we learn about Fenn’s treasure
A.It was in Yellowstone National Park.
B.It was found by someone by chance.
C.It was moved from one place to another.
D.It was in Fenn’s chosen resting place.
8.What does the underlined word “claiming” in the last paragraph probably mean
A.Taking.
B.Burying.
C.Protecting.
D.Acknowledging.

The spot of red was what first caught Randy Heiss’s attention on December 16. He walked towards it and found a balloon attached to a piece of paper.
“Dayami,” it read on one side, in a child’s writing. It was a Christmas wish list, all in Spanish. He suspected that a child had tried to send a wish list by balloon, something he used to do himself when he was a kid. And he wondered whether he could find the child.
It would be difficult, but based on the prevailing(盛行的) wind, Heiss was pretty sure where it came from—just across the border, the city of Nogales, Mexico. Heiss then posted about his quest on the website, attaching photos, hoping someone might know the girl’s family.
A few days passed with no leads. Heiss worried that time was running out before Christmas. On December 19, he sent a private message to a radio station based in Nogales. The next morning, Heiss awoke to a message from the radio station: They had located Dayami, an eight-year-old girl, and her family, who indeed lived in Nogales.“It just changed my entire day,” said Heiss. Having bought just about everything on Dayami’s list, Heiss and his wife, at the radio station, met the family.
“It was a beautiful and healing experience for us ... Since our only son died ten years ago, being around children at Christmas time has been absent in our lives,” Heiss said.“We now have friends for life. And, for a day, that border fence with its wire melted away.”
9.What did Heiss find on December 16
A.A Christmas wish list from a child.
B.A mass of grassland.
C.A letter addressed to him.
D.A beautiful red balloon.
10.What does the underlined word “leads” in paragraph 4 probably mean
A.Examples.
B.Clues.
C.Suggestions.
D.Plans.
11.What message does the text intend to convey
A.Love knows no borders.
B.A bold attempt is half success.
C.We should help those who help themselves.
D.Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
