Considering that the Sundarbans National Park is situated in the tropics, September to March is the ideal time to come here. April, May and June are too hot while July and August often bring heavy season winds that limit travel and don't make for a very pleasant sightseeing experience. You can really enjoy doing lots of charming things in the Sundarbans during September to March.
Take a river tour
Most tourists who explore the Sundarbans arrive in Khulna City first. From there, you can join a boat tour that travels south along the Ganges River through miles of preserved forest all the way to Kotka, where there is a beautiful beach along the Bay of Bengal.
Visit a bird habitat
This bird habitat is a nesting place for dozens of tropical birds found in the Sundarbans. The best way to observe these birds is climbing up the Sajnekhali Watchtower. If you're lucky, you'll also catch the famed Bengal Tiger making its rounds through the swampy jungle.
Visit the Mangrove (红树林) Interpretation Centre
If you wish to spend some time indoors out of the sweaty heat, go to the Mangrove Interpretation Centre. This place is very educational with many posters, maps and exhibits showing wildlife and varieties of mangrove plants found within the park. You'll also get to see crocodiles in a small pool.
Take a tour of local villages
Experience village life that has largely remained unchanged for centuries. In this vast tropical region, there are villages made up of various ethnic groups who rely on fishing, farming and working in the local through growing tourist industry for their livelihood. The Sundarbans is a UNESCO world heritage site where you can visit villages and talk to locals, from whom you can get cues about their culture.

B
One evening, when I asked my 17 year old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response took me by surprise. “What's a colander (漏勺)？” he asked.
I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody's hands went in the sauce except my own. But as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn't prepared Ray for. Suddenly it hit me: He'd be leaving the house in a year to attend college. No way was I going to send a spoiled prince into the world.
As parents, while we focus on our children's character, we are also raising someone's future roommate, husband, or father. I'd raise a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What's for dinner？” So, I came up with a plan to offer Ray a private home economics course. Gladly, he didn't say no.
For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the pie crust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.
One day we covered Advanced Laundry, in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white ones. I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother—he tried to beg off sewing lessons—but it couldn't be denied that he was learning, and more__than__just__housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom，” he told me one day.
Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there's nothing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That's what I call a man.
24．Hearing her son's question, how did the author feel
A．Angry. B．Disappointed.
C．Shocked. D．Calm.
25．What made the author panic
A．Ray's lack of basic living skills.
B．Ray's absence in the kitchen.
C．Ray's leaving to attend college.
D．Ray's misunderstanding of a colander.
26．What does the underlined part “more than just housekeeping” in Paragraph 5 show
A．Ray fell in love with housework.
B．Ray did other work in the house.
C．Ray began to be more independent.
D．Ray recognized his mother's efforts.
27．What would be the best title for the text
A．Family Education for Boys
B．The Importance of Housework
C．Boys Should Be Involved in Housework
D．Cooking And Sewing Make Boys Masculine
C
When we talk about positive thinking, we often use terms having to do with our hearts—open heart, pure heart or joyful heart. But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina (心绞痛), a common heart condition.
Symptoms of this condition include chest pain or pressure because the heart is not receiving sufficient oxygen. Patients who displayed optimistic thought patterns, including having positive expectations about recovery, were 40 percent less likely to be hospitalized or require surgery than those who were not optimistic, according to the study. The researchers collected data from 2，400 patients who had diagnoses of angina.
An interesting additional finding from the patients' questionnaires was that the most optimistic patients were also the least likely to have histories of heart attack, heart failure or heart disease.
The researchers did not declare a causal relationship between positive thinking and better heart disease outcomes, however. There are multiple possible reasons for the results of the study, including the idea that patients who are healthier to begin with are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health.
But the study does represent a new way of looking at the situation. Now, in addition to a body of research that examines the relationship between depression and heart health, there is a new way of inquiry that asks whether positive thinking could be used as a strategy to improve outcomes.
Lead researcher Alexander Fanaroff, a fellow in the department of cardiology (心脏病学) at the Duke University Medical Center, told theDukeChronicle that his next research question will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients.
Perhaps his subjects could reflect on the words of the writer Anthony J．D'Angelo: “Smile—it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.”
28．How can people with angina get better according to the study
A．By expecting more. B．By thinking positively.
C．By getting timely surgery. D．By taking more exercise.
29．What may be Alexander Fanaroff's next research
A．To explore how to improve patients' attitudes.
B．To find out the ways to treat heart patients.
C．To learn the causes of heart diseases.
D．To test if positive attitudes help with health.
30．What can we learn from the text
A．Optimistic people hardly get heart attack.
B．People's attitudes decide their overall health.
C．How positive thinking benefits heart health is unclear.
D．The reason why patients recover well is that they have no depression.
31．What may be the best title of the text
A．Keep Positive to Get Rid of Illness
B．Angina, a Kind of Serious Condition
C．Depression, a Key Cause of Heart Attack
D．Positive Thinking Makes Hearts Healthier
D
One form of social prejudice (偏见) against old people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn't it unfair that old people enjoying a computer game should be frowned upon (反对) by their children and grandchildren
Nowadays old people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.
When personal computers were first introduced, most old people didn't believe they would ever familiarize themselves with them. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says, “I find it very relaxing. It's not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”
Another development that has favored “grey gamers” is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. There are a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation (模拟) games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challenges, such as keeping to a strict timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.
Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply don't have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This__couldn't__be__further__from__the__truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers” may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, old people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, challenging mind games.
32．What does the author intend to do in the second paragraph
A．Teach how to play videogames.
B．Explain why grey gamers exist.
C．Stress the importance of good health.
D．Show the best way to exercise the brain.
33．What was old people's attitude towards personal computers at first
A．Doubtful. B．Concerned.
C．Enthusiastic. D．Supportive.
34．What is the method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4
A．Offering analyses. B．Giving examples.
C．Making comparisons. D．Providing details.
35．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Challenging mind games are not suitable for older people.
B．Teenagers should improve their skills with practice.
C．Playing computer games requires analytical thinking.
D．Old people may perform well in some computer games.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
If you're worried that too much “screen time” could badly influence your child's intelligence, new research suggests you might be right. By analyzing the data gathered from over 4，500 U．S. kids aged 8 to 11 between 2016 and 2017, Jeremy Walsh, a postdoctoral fellow with the CHEO Research Institute in Ottawa, found that too much “screen time” could be harming your child's intelligence.
Kids with the sharpest intellects spent less than two hours a day on their cellphones, tablets and computers coupled with 9 to 11 hours of sleep and at least an hour of physical activity. “Too much screen time could be affecting kids' ability to focus, especially if they are switching between apps on a device or between different screens at the same time，” Walsh suggested. “One leading theory is that much time on screens is spent multitasking using multiple apps or devices at once，” he said. “This can interfere with a child's ability to focus and keep interest in a task. It can be damaging the building blocks for good cognition (认知).”
“Sleep is important for brain development, since that's when the brain reorganizes itself and grows，” Walsh added, Besides, exercise has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain and oxygenation of brain tissues, and increases the connectivity of networks in the brain. Too much screen time could lead to a “cascade (瀑布)” effect where kids don't get enough sleep and then are less active during the day. “You can see how this would have an impact on brain health，” said Walsh.
What should parents do Walsh advised setting firm rules about the use of screens including how long children are using the screens, the kinds of apps they are using and how many screens they are using at once. Concerned parents also should preview games or apps before letting their children play, seek out more interactive (交互的) options that engage the children's minds, and use parental controls to block or filter the content and limit the screen time.

Considering that the Sundarbans National Park is situated in the tropics, September to March is the ideal time to come here. April, May and June are too hot while July and August often bring heavy season winds that limit travel and don't make for a very pleasant sightseeing experience. You can really enjoy doing lots of charming things in the Sundarbans during September to March.
Take a river tour
Most tourists who explore the Sundarbans arrive in Khulna City first. From there, you can join a boat tour that travels south along the Ganges River through miles of preserved forest all the way to Kotka, where there is a beautiful beach along the Bay of Bengal.
Visit a bird habitat
This bird habitat is a nesting place for dozens of tropical birds found in the Sundarbans. The best way to observe these birds is climbing up the Sajnekhali Watchtower. If you're lucky, you'll also catch the famed Bengal Tiger making its rounds through the swampy jungle.
Visit the Mangrove (红树林) Interpretation Centre
If you wish to spend some time indoors out of the sweaty heat, go to the Mangrove Interpretation Centre. This place is very educational with many posters, maps and exhibits showing wildlife and varieties of mangrove plants found within the park. You'll also get to see crocodiles in a small pool.
Take a tour of local villages
Experience village life that has largely remained unchanged for centuries. In this vast tropical region, there are villages made up of various ethnic groups who rely on fishing, farming and working in the local through growing tourist industry for their livelihood. The Sundarbans is a UNESCO world heritage site where you can visit villages and talk to locals, from whom you can get cues about their culture.

B
One evening, when I asked my 17 year old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response took me by surprise. “What's a colander (漏勺)？” he asked.
I could only blame myself. In the family, nobody's hands went in the sauce except my own. But as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn't prepared Ray for. Suddenly it hit me: He'd be leaving the house in a year to attend college. No way was I going to send a spoiled prince into the world.
As parents, while we focus on our children's character, we are also raising someone's future roommate, husband, or father. I'd raise a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What's for dinner？” So, I came up with a plan to offer Ray a private home economics course. Gladly, he didn't say no.
For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for roasting. Then he rolled out the pie crust (馅饼皮) and filled it with apples, while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.
One day we covered Advanced Laundry, in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white ones. I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother—he tried to beg off sewing lessons—but it couldn't be denied that he was learning, and more__than__just__housekeeping. “I appreciate what you do as a mom，” he told me one day.
Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more importantly, he realizes there's nothing masculine (男子气概的) about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, but also he can make a big meal for his family. That's what I call a man.
24．Hearing her son's question, how did the author feel
A．Angry. B．Disappointed.
C．Shocked. D．Calm.
25．What made the author panic
A．Ray's lack of basic living skills.
B．Ray's absence in the kitchen.
C．Ray's leaving to attend college.
D．Ray's misunderstanding of a colander.
26．What does the underlined part “more than just housekeeping” in Paragraph 5 show
A．Ray fell in love with housework.
B．Ray did other work in the house.
C．Ray began to be more independent.
D．Ray recognized his mother's efforts.
27．What would be the best title for the text
A．Family Education for Boys
B．The Importance of Housework
C．Boys Should Be Involved in Housework
D．Cooking And Sewing Make Boys Masculine
C
When we talk about positive thinking, we often use terms having to do with our hearts—open heart, pure heart or joyful heart. But new research from Duke University is making a closer connection, finding that a positive attitude may be helpful to people who have angina (心绞痛), a common heart condition.
Symptoms of this condition include chest pain or pressure because the heart is not receiving sufficient oxygen. Patients who displayed optimistic thought patterns, including having positive expectations about recovery, were 40 percent less likely to be hospitalized or require surgery than those who were not optimistic, according to the study. The researchers collected data from 2，400 patients who had diagnoses of angina.
An interesting additional finding from the patients' questionnaires was that the most optimistic patients were also the least likely to have histories of heart attack, heart failure or heart disease.
The researchers did not declare a causal relationship between positive thinking and better heart disease outcomes, however. There are multiple possible reasons for the results of the study, including the idea that patients who are healthier to begin with are more likely to expect to recover and regain good health.
But the study does represent a new way of looking at the situation. Now, in addition to a body of research that examines the relationship between depression and heart health, there is a new way of inquiry that asks whether positive thinking could be used as a strategy to improve outcomes.
Lead researcher Alexander Fanaroff, a fellow in the department of cardiology (心脏病学) at the Duke University Medical Center, told theDukeChronicle that his next research question will find ways to improve attitudes among heart patients.
Perhaps his subjects could reflect on the words of the writer Anthony J．D'Angelo: “Smile—it is the key that fits the lock of everybody's heart.”
28．How can people with angina get better according to the study
A．By expecting more. B．By thinking positively.
C．By getting timely surgery. D．By taking more exercise.
29．What may be Alexander Fanaroff's next research
A．To explore how to improve patients' attitudes.
B．To find out the ways to treat heart patients.
C．To learn the causes of heart diseases.
D．To test if positive attitudes help with health.
30．What can we learn from the text
A．Optimistic people hardly get heart attack.
B．People's attitudes decide their overall health.
C．How positive thinking benefits heart health is unclear.
D．The reason why patients recover well is that they have no depression.
31．What may be the best title of the text
A．Keep Positive to Get Rid of Illness
B．Angina, a Kind of Serious Condition
C．Depression, a Key Cause of Heart Attack
D．Positive Thinking Makes Hearts Healthier
D
One form of social prejudice (偏见) against old people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isn't it unfair that old people enjoying a computer game should be frowned upon (反对) by their children and grandchildren
Nowadays old people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better health care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.
When personal computers were first introduced, most old people didn't believe they would ever familiarize themselves with them. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says, “I find it very relaxing. It's not very demanding, but you still need to concentrate.”
Another development that has favored “grey gamers” is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. There are a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy and simulation (模拟) games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challenges, such as keeping to a strict timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.
Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply don't have the skills required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This__couldn't__be__further__from__the__truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers” may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, old people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for slower paced, challenging mind games.
32．What does the author intend to do in the second paragraph
A．Teach how to play videogames.
B．Explain why grey gamers exist.
C．Stress the importance of good health.
D．Show the best way to exercise the brain.
33．What was old people's attitude towards personal computers at first
A．Doubtful. B．Concerned.
C．Enthusiastic. D．Supportive.
34．What is the method the author uses to develop Paragraph 4
A．Offering analyses. B．Giving examples.
C．Making comparisons. D．Providing details.
35．What does the underlined part in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A．Challenging mind games are not suitable for older people.
B．Teenagers should improve their skills with practice.
C．Playing computer games requires analytical thinking.
D．Old people may perform well in some computer games.

第二节 概要写作(满分25分)
阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
If you're worried that too much “screen time” could badly influence your child's intelligence, new research suggests you might be right. By analyzing the data gathered from over 4，500 U．S. kids aged 8 to 11 between 2016 and 2017, Jeremy Walsh, a postdoctoral fellow with the CHEO Research Institute in Ottawa, found that too much “screen time” could be harming your child's intelligence.
Kids with the sharpest intellects spent less than two hours a day on their cellphones, tablets and computers coupled with 9 to 11 hours of sleep and at least an hour of physical activity. “Too much screen time could be affecting kids' ability to focus, especially if they are switching between apps on a device or between different screens at the same time，” Walsh suggested. “One leading theory is that much time on screens is spent multitasking using multiple apps or devices at once，” he said. “This can interfere with a child's ability to focus and keep interest in a task. It can be damaging the building blocks for good cognition (认知).”
“Sleep is important for brain development, since that's when the brain reorganizes itself and grows，” Walsh added, Besides, exercise has been shown to increase blood flow to the brain and oxygenation of brain tissues, and increases the connectivity of networks in the brain. Too much screen time could lead to a “cascade (瀑布)” effect where kids don't get enough sleep and then are less active during the day. “You can see how this would have an impact on brain health，” said Walsh.
What should parents do Walsh advised setting firm rules about the use of screens including how long children are using the screens, the kinds of apps they are using and how many screens they are using at once. Concerned parents also should preview games or apps before letting their children play, seek out more interactive (交互的) options that engage the children's minds, and use parental controls to block or filter the content and limit the screen time.

参考范文：
DearDavid，
Ihavelearnedfromyouremailthatyouwanttotrysmokingasyouthinkitisverycool. As far as I can see, smoking is a bad habit.
It is widely believed that smoking has harmful effects on one's body. It can do terrible damage to your heart, and even cause cancer. Additionally, cigarette smoking will affect the health of your family members. What's worse, you will find it hard to give up once you are addicted to cigarette smoking.
I suggest you live a healthy and active life. You'd better often take part in sports to build you up and develop some healthy hobbies to enjoy life.
Yourssincerely，
LiHua

参考范文：
New research has found that excessive “screen time” may negatively affect children's intelligence. (要点1) It prevents children from focusing and staying interested, thus restricting their cognitive development. (要点2) Also, it results in inadequate sleep and lack of physical activity, which do harm to the brain health. (要点3) Accordingly, parents are advised to establish strict regulations concerning the use of screens, monitor the content and limit the screen time.(要点4)
