My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks any more; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think any more. In Maths class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) by using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads any more; instead, they use calculators (计算器).
Most families have computers and there are lights at home now. In the past, we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.
And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t simple any more.

Like many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. 1 The government made new laws to stop smog from coal (煤) fires and factories and things became better.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution was much worse. 2
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. 3 Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have been closed and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
4 Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about 100 pounds, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over 1.00 pound.
Many people are trying to cut the use of cars in Britain. 5 Some people also travel to work together in one car to make less the pollution and the cost.
A. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. B. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days. C. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog (雾霾). D. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. E. In recent years, with more and more cars on the road, pollution has been a big problem. F. It’s time for humans to take action to protect the environment. G Many people think that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport.

二、阅读理解

(A)
Many people have to use public transport (公共交通). Some dislike it and still some love it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.
British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at very high speed (速度) and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits (限制) and traffic jams (堵塞). However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.
Also, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests (质量检测) while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.
What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services (服务) for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs (电源插头) for your computers or mobile phone.
( ) 1. The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A. British people enjoy public transport
B. it’s fast to travel from London to Paris
C. trains in Britain provide fine services for their users
D. trains are a good form of public transport for Londoners
( ) 2. In a traffic jam on the road, ________.
A. drivers can drive fast B. drivers can drive carelessly
C. cars are not moving fast D. cars will stop working
( ) 3. The 3rd paragraph of the passage mainly talks about the ________ of trains.
A. speed B. safety C. services D. problems
( ) 4. Londoners often travel by train because trains are ________.
A. old and slow B. large, clean and powerful
C. fine and important D. fast, safe and comfortable
( ) 5. What can we know from the passage
A. We can travel from London to Paris in less than 2 hours.
B. We can do our work with our own computers on the train.
C. We have to wait till we get off the train in order to have some food.
D. The trains are only checked for quality reasons before they are used.
(B)
London used to be “foggy” for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today. The “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture (混合物) of smoke and fog. In other words, it was made by pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air. A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British cities. Within a few years, the air became much cleaner. There were no more “pea-soupers”.
Many Chinese cities now face the same kind of problem with air pollution that London faced 50 or 60 years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve (解决). One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were closed, it would harm the economy (损害经济) and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel (燃料), like gas, is quite expensive.
However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to reducing pollution (关注减污). As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers” in Beijing and Chongqing than there used to be.
( ) 6. What was the main reason for air pollution in London
A. There was too much smoke in the sky.
B. People burnt too much coal in the houses.
C. There were too many factories in the city.
D. The city was too big for the cleaners to clean.
( ) 7. How did the air in London become much cleaner
A. There was not so much fog in the winter later.
B. A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses.
C. Many factories in the city were closed.
D. People paid more attention to cleaning their city.
( ) 8. What does the underlined word “pea-soupers” refer to (指的是)
A. Smog. B. Smoke. C. Gas. D. Coal.
( ) 9. How many reasons prevent Chinese cities solving the problem of air pollution
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
( ) 10. Which sentence is NOT true
A. Air pollution is serious in Beijing and Chongqing.
B. Using coal is much more expensive than using gas.
C. Factories made much more pollution in China.
D. The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different.
三、阅读填空先通读下面的短文, 然后根据短文内容, 在短文后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。
After Millennials — Generation Z
You’ve heard about Millennials. But what about the generation coming of age after Millennials Born between 1995 and 2009, this new world force (力量), known as ”Generation Z”, is beginning to come into focus as a pragmatic, colourful and special group.
Gen Z-ers in Japan, for example, are less likely to buy on impulse (冲动消费). They reach for their wallets only after thinking about a product’s true value (产品真正的价值). “They’re looking at the companies, not just the products,” said Masahiko Uotani, CEO of Shiseido. “They’re asking, ‘Are they really doing good to the society ’”
Gen Z-ers are also more down to earth than people have thought them to be. According to a recent study, more than half of Gen Z-ers over 18 years old said they were planning to buy a house within five years. And they’re not just saying it — they are willing to make sacrifices (牺牲) for it, like getting a second job and saving money. They have a clear idea how they are to help themselves in order to make it happen.
Social problems are Gen Z-ers’ worries, too. They think themselves as a changing force of the world. In India, for example, young people who have just reached the voting (投票) age are willing to vote for a leader who is able to solve (解决) problems that matter the most to them, like pollution and women’s safety. “Women’s safety is important for me,” said Monika Dalal, a 20-year-old Indian student.
As a Gen Z-er yourself, what do you think makes you different from Millennials
Generation Z
What is Generation Z People 1 between 1995 and 2009.
What is 2 about Gen Z-ers Think twice 3 buying: look at companies as well.
Be down to earth: have a plan for 4 and make it happen.
5 about social problems: vote for the most suitable leader.

My grandfather is eighty years old. He always complains about how fast things have changed, and he often says that life used to be better.
Families aren’t what they used to be. A lot of families have broken up. If the husband and wife have problems with their marriage, they no longer stay together. And mothers used to stay at home and take care of their children, but now everyone is busy working. No one has time to look after children at home.
And the cars! No one walks any more; more and more people drive. We used to walk five miles to school on schooldays, even in winter. But now students don’t. And in school, children don’t have to think any more. In Maths class, for example, we used to add, subtract, multiply and divide (加减乘除) by using our heads. But now kids don’t use their heads any more; instead, they use calculators (计算器).
Most families have computers and there are lights at home now. In the past, we didn’t have computers. We didn’t even have lights. My mother used to spend all day cooking in the kitchen. But now we don’t often eat home-cooked food.
And people talk less to each other than before. They are too busy to talk, too busy to eat, too busy to think
Life used to be simple, but it isn’t simple any more.

A. Life now is very good. B. Life now is worse than it used to be.

Like many countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. 1 The government made new laws to stop smog from coal (煤) fires and factories and things became better.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution was much worse. 2
Part of the problem is the new “out of town” shopping centers. 3 Now, many people drive to the new shopping centers. As a result, the small shops have been closed and more people have to travel to do their shopping.
4 Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about 100 pounds, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over 1.00 pound.
Many people are trying to cut the use of cars in Britain. 5 Some people also travel to work together in one car to make less the pollution and the cost.
A. In the past, people often walked to shops near their home or went by bus. B. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days. C. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog (雾霾). D. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. E. In recent years, with more and more cars on the road, pollution has been a big problem. F. It’s time for humans to take action to protect the environment. G Many people think that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport.

(A)
Many people have to use public transport (公共交通). Some dislike it and still some love it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.
British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at very high speed (速度) and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It’s much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits (限制) and traffic jams (堵塞). However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.
Also, Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests (质量检测) while they are made. More importantly, they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.
What’s more, trains in Britain are comfortable and provide fine services (服务) for their users. When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs (电源插头) for your computers or mobile phone.
( ) 1. The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A. British people enjoy public transport
B. it’s fast to travel from London to Paris
C. trains in Britain provide fine services for their users
D. trains are a good form of public transport for Londoners
( ) 2. In a traffic jam on the road, ________.
A. drivers can drive fast B. drivers can drive carelessly
C. cars are not moving fast D. cars will stop working
( ) 3. The 3rd paragraph of the passage mainly talks about the ________ of trains.
A. speed B. safety C. services D. problems
( ) 4. Londoners often travel by train because trains are ________.
A. old and slow B. large, clean and powerful
C. fine and important D. fast, safe and comfortable
( ) 5. What can we know from the passage
A. We can travel from London to Paris in less than 2 hours.
B. We can do our work with our own computers on the train.
C. We have to wait till we get off the train in order to have some food.
D. The trains are only checked for quality reasons before they are used.
(B)
London used to be “foggy” for the same reason that cities like Beijing or Chongqing are “foggy” today. The “fog” was in fact smog, a mixture (混合物) of smoke and fog. In other words, it was made by pollution. In London, some of this pollution came from factories, but much of it came from the coal that people burnt in their houses to keep warm during the winter. By the 1950s, London’s smog problem had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean the air. A new law was made and nobody could burn coal in any British cities. Within a few years, the air became much cleaner. There were no more “pea-soupers”.
Many Chinese cities now face the same kind of problem with air pollution that London faced 50 or 60 years ago. However, this problem is more difficult for Chinese cities to solve (解决). One reason is that more of the pollution comes from the factories, rather than from coal burnt in people’s houses. If these factories were closed, it would harm the economy (损害经济) and lots of people would lose their jobs. Another reason is that changing from coal to cleaner fuel (燃料), like gas, is quite expensive.
However, the air in many Chinese cities is becoming cleaner, as the government and people pay more and more attention to reducing pollution (关注减污). As a result, there are fewer “pea-soupers” in Beijing and Chongqing than there used to be.
( ) 6. What was the main reason for air pollution in London
A. There was too much smoke in the sky.
B. People burnt too much coal in the houses.
C. There were too many factories in the city.
D. The city was too big for the cleaners to clean.
( ) 7. How did the air in London become much cleaner
A. There was not so much fog in the winter later.
B. A law was made to keep people from burning coal in their houses.
C. Many factories in the city were closed.
D. People paid more attention to cleaning their city.
( ) 8. What does the underlined word “pea-soupers” refer to (指的是)
A. Smog. B. Smoke. C. Gas. D. Coal.
( ) 9. How many reasons prevent Chinese cities solving the problem of air pollution
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
( ) 10. Which sentence is NOT true
A. Air pollution is serious in Beijing and Chongqing.
B. Using coal is much more expensive than using gas.
C. Factories made much more pollution in China.
D. The reasons of air pollution in London and Beijing are different.
三、阅读填空先通读下面的短文, 然后根据短文内容, 在短文后表格的空格内填入一个最恰当的单词。
After Millennials — Generation Z
You’ve heard about Millennials. But what about the generation coming of age after Millennials Born between 1995 and 2009, this new world force (力量), known as ”Generation Z”, is beginning to come into focus as a pragmatic, colourful and special group.
Gen Z-ers in Japan, for example, are less likely to buy on impulse (冲动消费). They reach for their wallets only after thinking about a product’s true value (产品真正的价值). “They’re looking at the companies, not just the products,” said Masahiko Uotani, CEO of Shiseido. “They’re asking, ‘Are they really doing good to the society ’”
Gen Z-ers are also more down to earth than people have thought them to be. According to a recent study, more than half of Gen Z-ers over 18 years old said they were planning to buy a house within five years. And they’re not just saying it — they are willing to make sacrifices (牺牲) for it, like getting a second job and saving money. They have a clear idea how they are to help themselves in order to make it happen.
Social problems are Gen Z-ers’ worries, too. They think themselves as a changing force of the world. In India, for example, young people who have just reached the voting (投票) age are willing to vote for a leader who is able to solve (解决) problems that matter the most to them, like pollution and women’s safety. “Women’s safety is important for me,” said Monika Dalal, a 20-year-old Indian student.
As a Gen Z-er yourself, what do you think makes you different from Millennials
Generation Z
What is Generation Z People 1 between 1995 and 2009.
What is 2 about Gen Z-ers Think twice 3 buying: look at companies as well.

5 about social problems: vote for the most suitable leader.
