Twenty years ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ago or so, I was a 13-year-old runaway from an Oxford boarding school. It was late at night and I had nowhere to go. A number of people walked past me and stared interestedly at me. I was very frightened. Anything could have happened to me that night, but I met you. I still remember your words as you walked past me for a second time. “Excuse me. It is so dangerous for a girl to walk on the street at night. Would you like to spend the night at my house ”
You were a s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ensible-looking young woman. It seemed obvious to me that I could trust you. You took me to your flat and let me sleep on the floor. You made me a cup of tea and left me to sleep somewhere safe and warm.21教育名师原创作品
In the morning, you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) convinced me to do “the right thing”. As I was leaving, you hesitantly admitted that a friend of yours had died and you had been “in a bad place” that night. You suggested that my presence had stopped you doing “something stupid” and I felt that we had helped each other. That knowledge helped me return to school.21世纪教育网版权所有
For some reason I d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )idn’t tell anyone where I had spent the night. I was worried they would criticize you for not calling the police. I told my mother about you several years later and I knew she wished that she could thank you for keeping me safe.
I hope you unders ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tand that I am grateful. My life could have been very different if someone else had found me that night. I hope you have recovered from your friend’s death. I hope you’re OK now. And I hope you read this so that I can finally say “thank you”.

Twinkle, Twinkl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Little Star is a charming song for children, but it contains two misunderstandings. First, stars aren’t little. Some may be Earth-sized, but most are bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Second, they don’t twinkle; they shine. And the brightness and color of the light from each star provide information about its temperature, size and even its age and likely fate.
Viewing the stars f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom Earth is a bit like looking at them through a water filter because the atmosphere is dense (稠密的) compared to the emptiness of space. Moreover, air is always moving, so starlight appears to be moving, too. The atmosphere also makes stars appear dimmer than they would be if we could see them from space.
If you stop and exami ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne the sky on a dark and moonless night, it’s easy to recognize color differences among stars. The color of a star is a visual signal of its surface temperature. The hottest stars are blue, and the next hottest are white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while red stars are the coolest of the visible stars. Many red stars are so dim that people can’t see them at all, and some stars hardly send out any light at all. One reason that stars differ in brightness is that hotter stars produce more energy than cooler ones, but another important reason is that some are much bigger than others.
Some stars app ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear brighter to human beings simply because they’re closer. Astronomers rank the brightness of stars which are seen from Earth by assigning them a number known as apparent magnitude (视星等) — the smaller the apparent magnitude, the brighter the object. They have also designed a measure that ranks stars according to how bright they are when compared to each other. With an apparent magnitude of minus 26.7, the sun is the brightest object in the sky.
31. From the song q ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uite familiar to children, the writer wants to prove that _______.
A. most stars are smaller than Jupiter
B. Jupiter is bigger and brighter than Earth
C. stars are very large and always shine brightly
D. starlight’s brightness and color reflect its temperature【版权所有：21教育】
32. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )phrase “a water filter” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. the atmosphere B. the cloud C. the air D. the earth
33. From Paragraph 3, we can know that _______.
A. a red star often sends out much brighter light
B. a blue or white star is hotter than a red or yellow star
C. a yellow star like the sun is the hottest in space
D. a blue star is much bigger than stars in other colors
34. Apparent magnitude is designed to measure _______.
A. how far a star is from Earth
B. how far a star is from other stars
C. how bright a star is seen from Earth
D. how bright a star is compared to other stars
35. Which is the best title of this passage
A. What do stars look like
B. Which song do children like best
C. How to view the stars from Earth
D. Why are many stars so dim at night
C中
The Antarctic is div ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ided into two regions. East Antarctic makes up two thirds of the continent. Ice in this part of the continent averages 1.2 miles thick. West Antarctic, on the other hand, is a series of frozen islands stretching toward the southern part of South America. www.21-cn-jy.com
The ice of the Antarctic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 ) is not a smooth sheet but a continuously changing one. Glaciers (冰川) float slowly across the continent, cracking and breaking the ice. The fields with cracks (裂缝) of hundreds of feet deep spread over the continent, hidden by only a shallow layer of snow.
Despite its thick ice, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the Antarctic is classified as a desert. The inner regions of the continent receive an average of 2 inches of rain — primarily in the form of snow — each year, which is less than the rain falls in the Sahara desert.
Although little ra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in falls from the sky, there are still big snowstorms in the Antarctic. Like sandstorms in the desert, the wind picks snow up from the ground and blows vast white blankets.
Because it lies in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the southern part of the earth, seasons in the Antarctic are the opposite of seasons in the north. Summer runs from October to February and winter covers the rest of the year. In the past decades, the western Antarctic has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed, but the other parts of the continent have, however, been cooling, resulting in a 10% increase of ice in the seas around the region. This is because the hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层) has increased cold winds in the Antarctic, making much of the continent surface colder than usual.
The Antarctic has no trees or bushes. Penguins, whales, and seals live in and around the Antarctic, as well as fish. The male emperor penguin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )s are the only warm-blooded animal to remain on the continent through the freezing winter.
There are no native ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )populations of people on the frozen continent. Today, human habitation exists at a variety of research stations. The freezing weather there makes it an excellent location to study how the body and mind adapt to the cold. Scientists also dig ice holes, which can provide them with a climate history of the region over thousands of years.
36. What do we know about the ice in the Antarctic
A. It is in a slow movement. B. It lies deep under the snow.
C. It’s 1.2 mil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es thick on average. D. It mainly lies in the west part.
37. The Antarctic is also called a desert because__________.
A. there are so little rain falls every year
B. the snowstorms are also very big as in the desert
C. the rain falls here exist only in the form of snow
D. the condition here is like that of the Sahara desert21·世纪*教育网
38. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that ______.
A. there are sandstorms occurring in the Antarctic
B. there’s no sunshine in the Antarctic all year round
C. only cold-bl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ooded animals can survive the winter in the Antarctic
D. there’re only two seasons in the Antarctic every year
39. What effect doe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the hole in the ozone layer of the Antarctic have
A. It causes a 10% increase of ice in seas.
B. It is making much of the continent colder.
C. It contributes to the global warming.
D. It reduces the amount of ice in the Antarctic.
40. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A. there are scientists living in the Antarctic
B. the Antarctic is not suitable for human to live
C. the Antarctic is a good place for science research
D. human has already begun to explore the Antarctic

Strong winds h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )it parts of Scotland with reports of sandstorms and winds of over 70 mph. In Moray, strong winds whipped up what were described as coastal “sandstorms” and trees, branches and an advertising board were brought down in Glasgow.
Forecasters s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aid Inverbervie saw the highest wind speed at 73 mph. Jim Robertson, from Lossiemouth, said “sandstorms” had affected the area on Tuesday afternoon, while the Forres Gazette reported poor visibility (能见度) on the roads. Police Scotland said routes in the Moray and Banffshire areas had been affected by sand and fallen trees. Officers said sand was causing “zero visibility” in the Fogwatt area of the A941 Elgin-Rothes road. There also were warnings of poor visibility on the A96 road between Inverness and Nairn.
In Glasgow, trains we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re disrupted (中断) when an advertising board came down on one rail line between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida. ScotRail said the power had to be turned off, the debris cleared and then the line examined for any damage. And the Tay Road Bridge had been closed to all traffic at one point.
Also, on Tuesday eveni ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng, most residents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were surprised by a heavy sandstorm, which hit parts of the UAE, reducing visibility to few hundred metres in some parts.21·cn·jy·com
Motorists driving in B ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road reported the sandstorm after office hours. Police advised motorists to be careful and keep safe distance between the vehicles to avoid accidents. “Due to a change in weather, we request all the drivers to be extra careful and follow the speed limit,” Dubai Police tweeted. Traffic flow slowed down on Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.
41. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to forecasters, how many places in Scotland were hit by strong winds
A. Two cities and four towns.

第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
首先，请阅读某网站问答专栏的问题和图片：
A. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I was absent-minded ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly stirring a cup of hot tea when I got thinking what if I were to stir it faster Would I be able to boil a cup of water by stirring
B. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I use one of thos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e old phones where I have to type with numbers. For example, if I want to type “Y”, I have to press “9” three times. It is really annoying. What English word has the most continuous letters on the same key
C. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) If my printer co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld actually print out money, let’s see, 400 dollars per minute, and in a year there are 525,600 minutes, would it have a big effect on the world
D. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) The US federal mini ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mum wage in the US is $7.25/hour, which is about $15,000/year for a full-time job. What if people’s incomes appeared around them as cash in real time How much trouble would they get into for this
E. What would happen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) if everyone on earth stood as close to each other as they could and jumped or coughed And what if everyone landed on the ground at the same instant
F. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Which took more en ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ergy, the building of the Great Pyramid or the Apollo Mission If we could change the energy to build the Great Pyramid, would it be enough to send a rocket to the Moon and back
以下是关于五个问题的解答，请将它们与上面的问题和图片匹配起来。
46. There will be a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) lot of uncomfortable glances. A cell phone comes out of a pocket and within seconds the rest of the world’s five billion phones will follow. The addition of all the nearby airports doesn’t change the situation much. Crowds climb on board, but the sufficient supply of food and water for a long sea voyage proves a challenge.【出处：21教育名师】
47. This is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )enough to make you very rich, but not enough to put any kind of great impression or influence on the global economy. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing says the lifetime of a hundred-dollar bill is about 90 months. If there are 7.8 billion hundred-dollar bills in circulation, there are about a billion produced each year. Your extra two million bills a year would barely be enough to be noticed.
48. In some situa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tions, mixing liquids can actually help keep them warm. Hot water rises. When a body of water is large and enough (like the oceans), a warm layer forms on the surface. The warm layer sends out heat much more quickly than a cold layer does. If you disrupt the hot layer by mixing the water, the rate of heat loss decreases.
49. This pla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n is obviously impractical. There are all kinds of ways we could measure the energy that went into various major projects, but we end up making a lot of judgment based on our own opinions about what counts as part of the project. Instead, let’s go back to the simple idea of comparing it to other buildings by that measure.
50. It’s rare for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a word to have all its letters on the same key. The longest common ones are only a few letters, like “tutu”. Nevertheless, using only these words, we can write “a high def MMO on TV”, a phrase whose words use only one number key each. There are plenty of other phrases like this, although some of them are a bit of a stretch. In fact, it’s possible to write entire sentences with just the left hand.

阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
The term “helico ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pter parents” is often used to describe a group of parents who are in the practice of over-parenting. Helicopter parents often keep thinking about their children’s education, safety, after-school activities and other parts of their children’s lives. Helicopter parents also overprotect their children, and fail to affect them with a sense of independence. Helicopter parents say they are proud to be so involved in their children’s lives.21cnjy.com
On the contrary, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the term “free-range parents” is opposite to “helicopter parents”. Free-range parents believe that children learn best when they are allowed to make mistakes, spend time alone, plan their activities freely. They agree that allowing their children to do things by themselves can help develop their can-do attitudes and gradually build up their confidence. It’s said that this group of children are more likely to become successful than those who are raised under strict discipline.
Experts will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )likely argue the benefits and disadvantages of over-parenting and free-range parenting for some time to come, leaving parents to find the balance that is right for their children.

读写任务 (One possible version)
This passage tells ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) us the different meanings of helicopter parenting and free-range parenting, and different people have different ideas towards the two patterns.
To be frank, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my parents are helicopter parents. They seem to have taken care of everything for me since I was born. Believe it or not, I don’t even have the chance to choose what I like to eat for dinner.
I think life ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is only meaningful when it faces uncertainty, including joy and pain. Give children the chances to experience the difficulty or failure in life, because that’s an important part for the growth of an individual. Otherwise, if parents often over-plan their children’s lives, they will gradually weaken their abilities as independent people.
If I were a parent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), I would try to talk with my children like a friend rather than a boss or a leader. I would respect their decision and give them a fair amount of freedom. In this way, I believe they will live a healthy and happy life.

A number of people walked past me and stared interestedly at me. I was very frightened. Anything could have happened to me that night, but I met you.

You were a s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ensible-looking young woman. It seemed obvious to me that I could trust you. You took me to your flat and let me sleep on the floor. You made me a cup of tea and left me to sleep somewhere safe and warm.21教育名师原创作品
In the morning, you ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) convinced me to do “the right thing”. As I was leaving, you hesitantly admitted that a friend of yours had died and you had been “in a bad place” that night.

For some reason I d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )idn’t tell anyone where I had spent the night. I was worried they would criticize you for not calling the police. I told my mother about you several years later and I knew she wished that she could thank you for keeping me safe.
I hope you unders ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tand that I am grateful. My life could have been very different if someone else had found me that night. I hope you have recovered from your friend’s death. I hope you’re OK now. And I hope you read this so that I can finally say “thank you”.

Twinkle, Twinkl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e Little Star is a charming song for children, but it contains two misunderstandings. First, stars aren’t little. Some may be Earth-sized, but most are bigger than Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system. Second, they don’t twinkle; they shine. And the brightness and color of the light from each star provide information about its temperature, size and even its age and likely fate.
Viewing the stars f ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rom Earth is a bit like looking at them through a water filter because the atmosphere is dense (稠密的) compared to the emptiness of space. Moreover, air is always moving, so starlight appears to be moving, too. The atmosphere also makes stars appear dimmer than they would be if we could see them from space.
If you stop and exami ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne the sky on a dark and moonless night, it’s easy to recognize color differences among stars. The color of a star is a visual signal of its surface temperature. The hottest stars are blue, and the next hottest are white. Yellow stars like the sun are next, while red stars are the coolest of the visible stars. Many red stars are so dim that people can’t see them at all, and some stars hardly send out any light at all. One reason that stars differ in brightness is that hotter stars produce more energy than cooler ones, but another important reason is that some are much bigger than others.
Some stars app ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ear brighter to human beings simply because they’re closer. Astronomers rank the brightness of stars which are seen from Earth by assigning them a number known as apparent magnitude (视星等) — the smaller the apparent magnitude, the brighter the object. They have also designed a measure that ranks stars according to how bright they are when compared to each other. With an apparent magnitude of minus 26.7, the sun is the brightest object in the sky.
31. From the song q ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uite familiar to children, the writer wants to prove that _______.
A. most stars are smaller than Jupiter
B. Jupiter is bigger and brighter than Earth
C. stars are very large and always shine brightly
D. starlight’s brightness and color reflect its temperature【版权所有：21教育】
32. The underlined ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )phrase “a water filter” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.
A. the atmosphere B. the cloud C. the air D. the earth
33. From Paragraph 3, we can know that _______.
A. a red star often sends out much brighter light
B. a blue or white star is hotter than a red or yellow star
C. a yellow star like the sun is the hottest in space
D. a blue star is much bigger than stars in other colors
34. Apparent magnitude is designed to measure _______.
A. how far a star is from Earth
B. how far a star is from other stars
C. how bright a star is seen from Earth
D. how bright a star is compared to other stars
35. Which is the best title of this passage
A. What do stars look like
B. Which song do children like best
C. How to view the stars from Earth
D. Why are many stars so dim at night
C中
The Antarctic is div ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ided into two regions. East Antarctic makes up two thirds of the continent. Ice in this part of the continent averages 1.2 miles thick. West Antarctic, on the other hand, is a series of frozen islands stretching toward the southern part of South America. www.21-cn-jy.com
The ice of the Antarctic ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 ) is not a smooth sheet but a continuously changing one. Glaciers (冰川) float slowly across the continent, cracking and breaking the ice. The fields with cracks (裂缝) of hundreds of feet deep spread over the continent, hidden by only a shallow layer of snow.
Despite its thick ice, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the Antarctic is classified as a desert. The inner regions of the continent receive an average of 2 inches of rain — primarily in the form of snow — each year, which is less than the rain falls in the Sahara desert.
Although little ra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )in falls from the sky, there are still big snowstorms in the Antarctic. Like sandstorms in the desert, the wind picks snow up from the ground and blows vast white blankets.
Because it lies in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the southern part of the earth, seasons in the Antarctic are the opposite of seasons in the north. Summer runs from October to February and winter covers the rest of the year. In the past decades, the western Antarctic has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed, but the other parts of the continent have, however, been cooling, resulting in a 10% increase of ice in the seas around the region. This is because the hole in the ozone layer (臭氧层) has increased cold winds in the Antarctic, making much of the continent surface colder than usual.
The Antarctic has no trees or bushes. Penguins, whales, and seals live in and around the Antarctic, as well as fish. The male emperor penguin ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com" \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )s are the only warm-blooded animal to remain on the continent through the freezing winter.
There are no native ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )populations of people on the frozen continent. Today, human habitation exists at a variety of research stations. The freezing weather there makes it an excellent location to study how the body and mind adapt to the cold. Scientists also dig ice holes, which can provide them with a climate history of the region over thousands of years.
36. What do we know about the ice in the Antarctic
A. It is in a slow movement. B. It lies deep under the snow.
C. It’s 1.2 mil ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es thick on average. D. It mainly lies in the west part.
37. The Antarctic is also called a desert because__________.
A. there are so little rain falls every year
B. the snowstorms are also very big as in the desert
C. the rain falls here exist only in the form of snow
D. the condition here is like that of the Sahara desert21·世纪*教育网
38. We can learn from Paragraph 5 that ______.
A. there are sandstorms occurring in the Antarctic
B. there’s no sunshine in the Antarctic all year round
C. only cold-bl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ooded animals can survive the winter in the Antarctic
D. there’re only two seasons in the Antarctic every year
39. What effect doe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the hole in the ozone layer of the Antarctic have
A. It causes a 10% increase of ice in seas.
B. It is making much of the continent colder.
C. It contributes to the global warming.
D. It reduces the amount of ice in the Antarctic.
40. The last paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A. there are scientists living in the Antarctic
B. the Antarctic is not suitable for human to live
C. the Antarctic is a good place for science research
D. human has already begun to explore the Antarctic

Strong winds h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )it parts of Scotland with reports of sandstorms and winds of over 70 mph. In Moray, strong winds whipped up what were described as coastal “sandstorms” and trees, branches and an advertising board were brought down in Glasgow.
Forecasters s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )aid Inverbervie saw the highest wind speed at 73 mph. Jim Robertson, from Lossiemouth, said “sandstorms” had affected the area on Tuesday afternoon, while the Forres Gazette reported poor visibility (能见度) on the roads. Police Scotland said routes in the Moray and Banffshire areas had been affected by sand and fallen trees. Officers said sand was causing “zero visibility” in the Fogwatt area of the A941 Elgin-Rothes road. There also were warnings of poor visibility on the A96 road between Inverness and Nairn.
In Glasgow, trains we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re disrupted (中断) when an advertising board came down on one rail line between Glasgow Central and Mount Florida. ScotRail said the power had to be turned off, the debris cleared and then the line examined for any damage. And the Tay Road Bridge had been closed to all traffic at one point.
Also, on Tuesday eveni ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ng, most residents in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were surprised by a heavy sandstorm, which hit parts of the UAE, reducing visibility to few hundred metres in some parts.21·cn·jy·com
Motorists driving in B ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ur Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road reported the sandstorm after office hours. Police advised motorists to be careful and keep safe distance between the vehicles to avoid accidents. “Due to a change in weather, we request all the drivers to be extra careful and follow the speed limit,” Dubai Police tweeted. Traffic flow slowed down on Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road and Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Road.
41. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to forecasters, how many places in Scotland were hit by strong winds
A. Two cities and four towns.

第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。
首先，请阅读某网站问答专栏的问题和图片：
A. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I was absent-minded ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ly stirring a cup of hot tea when I got thinking what if I were to stir it faster Would I be able to boil a cup of water by stirring
B. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) I use one of thos ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e old phones where I have to type with numbers. For example, if I want to type “Y”, I have to press “9” three times. It is really annoying. What English word has the most continuous letters on the same key
C. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) If my printer co ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )uld actually print out money, let’s see, 400 dollars per minute, and in a year there are 525,600 minutes, would it have a big effect on the world
D. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) The US federal mini ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mum wage in the US is $7.25/hour, which is about $15,000/year for a full-time job. What if people’s incomes appeared around them as cash in real time How much trouble would they get into for this
E. What would happen ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) if everyone on earth stood as close to each other as they could and jumped or coughed And what if everyone landed on the ground at the same instant
F. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Which took more en ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ergy, the building of the Great Pyramid or the Apollo Mission If we could change the energy to build the Great Pyramid, would it be enough to send a rocket to the Moon and back
以下是关于五个问题的解答，请将它们与上面的问题和图片匹配起来。
46. There will be a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) lot of uncomfortable glances. A cell phone comes out of a pocket and within seconds the rest of the world’s five billion phones will follow. The addition of all the nearby airports doesn’t change the situation much. Crowds climb on board, but the sufficient supply of food and water for a long sea voyage proves a challenge.【出处：21教育名师】
47. This is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )enough to make you very rich, but not enough to put any kind of great impression or influence on the global economy. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing says the lifetime of a hundred-dollar bill is about 90 months. If there are 7.8 billion hundred-dollar bills in circulation, there are about a billion produced each year. Your extra two million bills a year would barely be enough to be noticed.
48. In some situa ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tions, mixing liquids can actually help keep them warm. Hot water rises. When a body of water is large and enough (like the oceans), a warm layer forms on the surface. The warm layer sends out heat much more quickly than a cold layer does. If you disrupt the hot layer by mixing the water, the rate of heat loss decreases.
49. This pla ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )n is obviously impractical. There are all kinds of ways we could measure the energy that went into various major projects, but we end up making a lot of judgment based on our own opinions about what counts as part of the project. Instead, let’s go back to the simple idea of comparing it to other buildings by that measure.
50. It’s rare for ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a word to have all its letters on the same key. The longest common ones are only a few letters, like “tutu”. Nevertheless, using only these words, we can write “a high def MMO on TV”, a phrase whose words use only one number key each. There are plenty of other phrases like this, although some of them are a bit of a stretch. In fact, it’s possible to write entire sentences with just the left hand.

阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
The term “helico ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )pter parents” is often used to describe a group of parents who are in the practice of over-parenting. Helicopter parents often keep thinking about their children’s education, safety, after-school activities and other parts of their children’s lives. Helicopter parents also overprotect their children, and fail to affect them with a sense of independence. Helicopter parents say they are proud to be so involved in their children’s lives.21cnjy.com
On the contrary, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the term “free-range parents” is opposite to “helicopter parents”. Free-range parents believe that children learn best when they are allowed to make mistakes, spend time alone, plan their activities freely. They agree that allowing their children to do things by themselves can help develop their can-do attitudes and gradually build up their confidence. It’s said that this group of children are more likely to become successful than those who are raised under strict discipline.
Experts will ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )likely argue the benefits and disadvantages of over-parenting and free-range parenting for some time to come, leaving parents to find the balance that is right for their children.

读写任务 (One possible version)
This passage tells ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) us the different meanings of helicopter parenting and free-range parenting, and different people have different ideas towards the two patterns.
To be frank, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my parents are helicopter parents. They seem to have taken care of everything for me since I was born. Believe it or not, I don’t even have the chance to choose what I like to eat for dinner.
I think life ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) is only meaningful when it faces uncertainty, including joy and pain. Give children the chances to experience the difficulty or failure in life, because that’s an important part for the growth of an individual. Otherwise, if parents often over-plan their children’s lives, they will gradually weaken their abilities as independent people.
If I were a parent ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ), I would try to talk with my children like a friend rather than a boss or a leader. I would respect their decision and give them a fair amount of freedom. In this way, I believe they will live a healthy and happy life.
