While tea may have originated in Asia, now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions. This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea,especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in Western culture.
British tea culture
When many people think about tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.

B
When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I used to have ice cream for dessert. Every day, we would choose which ice cream flavor to have, whether to eat it in a cone or a bowl. Then we would happily wolf down our treat (款待) as fast as we could.
Once, though, when I was probably about 10 or 11, our grandpa came to visit us. Grandpa always had a unique view on things. On this particular occasion, my sister and I were making bets as to who could finish our ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, “Why would you want to finish first If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last.” Even now, I always try to taste my ice cream, but of course this is about more than just dessert.
Too often, kids want to scramble (争夺) for more, whether it’s more ice cream, more toys, or more friends. This habit persists into our adult years, and we end up constantly scrambling for more. We never develop the skill of appreciating what we have. If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it, we can raise our kids a little differently, giving them the tool of tasting their widely known dessert, which could lead to a happier life for them.
What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the opportunity to enjoy what’s in front of you, the pleasure will last longer and be more rewarding than if you rush through life always trying to get the next treat. It’s a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier, as well. These days, when I want something, I wait as long as I can before I allow myself to have it. Then, when I finally get it, I make sure to treasure it as long as possible, because I know that, no matter what it is, it will be gone all too soon.
4. The author’s grandfather advised her sister and her to_______.
A. stop eating ice cream B. learn something from their way of eating
C. stop the competition between them D. eat ice cream as slowly as possible
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s grandfather
A. Humorous. B. Wise. C. Strict. D. Careful.
6. What advice does the author give us in the passage
A. Value what you have. B. Keep longing for more.
C. Have a balanced diet. D. Save for the future.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author benefits a lot from her grandfather’s advice.
B. The author doesn’t like ice cream as much as before.
C. The author just starts to understand her grandfather.
D. The author longs for the days when they ate ice cream.
【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文主要讲述作者小时候和姐姐在打赌谁能先吃完冰淇淋，爷爷建议作者慢点吃，冰淇淋会吃的更久，作者也因此从祖父那里学到的一个道理：学会抓住机会去享受你面前的东西，这种快乐会持续得更久，也会比你匆忙地生活，总是试图得到下一个奖励更有意义。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中Grandpa always had a unique view on things. On this particular occasion, my sister and I were making bets as to who could finish our ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, “Why would you want to finish first If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last.”可知爷爷对事物总是有独特的看法。在这个特殊的场合，我和姐姐在打赌谁能先吃完冰淇淋。爷爷笑着说:“你为什么要先吃完呢？如果你慢慢地吃，冰激凌会吃的更久。你们应该进行一场比赛，看谁能最后一个吃完。”由此可知，作者的祖父建议她们慢点吃冰淇淋。故选D。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the opportunity to enjoy what’s in front of you, the pleasure will last longer and be more rewarding than if you rush through life always trying to get the next treat.可知我爷爷那天真正教会我的是，如果你抓住机会去享受你面前的东西，这种快乐会持续得更久，也会比你匆忙地生活，总是试图得到下一个奖励更有意义。由此可推知，祖父教给作者的是生活的哲理，说明祖父是一个非常睿智的人。故选B。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Then, when I finally get it, I make sure to treasure it as long as possible, because I know that, no matter what it is, it will be gone all too soon.可知然后，当我最终得到它的时候，我会尽可能地珍惜它，因为我知道，无论它是什么，它都很快就会消失。由此可推知，作者给我们的建议是要珍惜现在拥有的一切。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中It’s a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier, as well.可知我认为，这也让我的成年生活更加快乐。由此可推知，作者因为祖父的建议，成年生活更加开心了，即作者从她祖父的忠告中获益良多。故选A。
C
A few weeks ago, I sat with a California farmer named Dave Ribeiro. I asked him what he wished more people knew about farmers. He smiled and said, “That we walk among you. We look like you and talk like you. We have advanced degrees and hobbies, just like you.”
Take Dave: He’s a young man with a music degree. And if you walked past him on the street, you’d never think, “There goes a farmer.”
Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer Probably not. I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls. I can tell you, that does not represent Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know.
Not only do we have to throw out our stereotypes of farmers, but farming as a whole doesn’t look much like it used to either. We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like, and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places.
In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn, they met a new crop of young farmers who are trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical farms. In a Florida field under the flight path of an airport, they discovered farmers with university degrees growing algae (藻类) that might someday fuel our cars. And in a modern farm in California, they observed how farmers are using technology to take the best possible care of their animals.
These farmers all spend their days in very different ways — none of them looks like the stereotypical farmer we have in our mind — but they’re all working on new ways to feed our planet. Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like, but we also need to change our view of where solutions can come from. Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together.
8. How does Dave describe today’s farmers
A. They often walk on the street. B. They are leading a very busy life.
C. They are similar to ordinary people. D. They have little time to make friends.
9. How does the author think most people see farmers
A. They usually wear overalls. B. They have interesting hobbies.
C. They are skilled at growing crops. D. They know modern farming practices.
10 What was the purpose of the team
A. To deepen connections among farmers.
B. To study different technologies in farming.
C. To report on the new developments of farming.
D. To encourage farmers to use new farming methods.
11. What do the farmers mentioned in Paragraph 5 have in common
A. They all work in the city. B. They all use high technology.
C. They all do hard physical work. D. They all work with universities.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了现代农民采用高科技从事农业活动，农民的形象已经不再是人们过去认为的样子了。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“He smiled and said, ‘That we walk among you. We look like you and talk like you. We have advanced degrees and hobbies, just like you.’(他微笑着说：‘我们走在你们中间。我们长得像你们，说话也像你们。我们都有高学历和爱好，就像你一样。’)”可知，Dave认为今天的农民和普通人一样。故选C项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer Probably not. I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls.(当你想到一个农民时，你会想到像Dave这样的人吗？可能不会。我想大多数人会想到一个穿着工装裤的男人)”可知，在作者看来，大多数人会认为农民常穿工作服。故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like, and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places.(我们最近派了一个团队去看看现代农业是什么样子的，他们发现农民和我们通常对他们的看法完全不同，而且在一些意想不到的地方遇到了他们)”可推知，团队的目的是寻找现代农业的新发展。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn, they met a new crop of young farmers who are trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical farms. In a Florida field under the flight path of an airport, they discovered farmers with university degrees growing algae (藻类) that might someday fuel our cars. And in a modern farm in California, they observed how farmers are using technology to take the best possible care of their animals.(在布鲁克林社区的一个停车场里，他们遇到了一群新一代的年轻农民，他们在高科技室内垂直农场里种植新鲜蔬菜，试图让城市里的食客离他们更近。在佛罗里达州一个机场飞行路线下的一块田地里，他们发现有大学学历的农民正在种植藻类，这种藻类有一天可能会成为我们汽车的燃料。在加利福尼亚的一个现代农场里，他们观察到农民如何利用技术尽可能地照顾他们的动物)”可推知，这些农民的共同点在于他们都使用了高科技来从事现代农业工作。故选B项。
D
Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To summarize the text. B. To tell about true friends.
C. To bring up a discussion. D. To encourage online friendship.
13. What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
A. In person. B. In advance. C. In any case. D. In full measure.
14. What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Confused. D. Unconcerned.
15. What view does Rosen hold
A. It’s wise to turn to friends online.
B. It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
C. Social media help people stay closely connected.
D. Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。现在的青少年把更多的时间用于网上交友，这样的现象让专家很担忧。专家认为青少年如果不断地关注虚拟世界，他们将几乎没有时间在现实世界建立真正的友谊。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.(13岁的Kaylee有很多朋友——如果算上她的网上朋友，实际上有532个。她花了很多时间和他们在一起)”可推知，第一段阐述了一种社会现象，目的是提出一个讨论的话题，从而引出下文对于这个话题的讨论。故选C。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语前的“During your parent’s childhoods”和划线短语后的“Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones.(孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不是在手机上玩Words With Friends)”可推知，在你父母的童年时期，与朋友相处通常意味着亲自花时间与他们在一起。孩子们围着桌子玩拼字游戏，而不是在手机上玩Words With Friends。由此可知，划线短语in the flesh意为“亲自”，故选A。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.(事实上，在很多方面，在线交流可以使友谊更加牢固，“这绝对是一种积极的影响。孩子们可以保持不断的联系，这意味着他们可以彼此分享更多的感受，”《应用程序一代》的合著者Katie Davis说)”可推知，Katie对网络交流持乐观态度。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第六段中的“Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University.(然而，其他专家警告说，过多的在线交流可能会阻碍深厚友谊的形成。“如果我们总是关注虚拟世界，我们就没有时间和现实世界的友谊在一起。加州州立大学教授Larry Rosen说)”可知，Rosen认为青少年需要关注现实世界的友谊。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Walk Out of the Comfort Zone and Try New Things
For most high school students, free periods (课，节) are useless. From what I have seen, few do homework. ___16___. This makes it impossible for those who actually want to do work to complete any. As a senior next year, I think extra periods should be used to take optional subjects.
___17___. Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one. We will experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don’t try it.
In my 8th grade, I was told that I had to take an art class as a graduation requirement; so in the 9th grade I took Studio and Art. One of the projects was to build a clay pot, but I built mine incorrectly, so it broke in the kiln (窑). ___18___. Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist. However, the class was one of my favorites that year. I was able to try new activities and test my ability.
___19___! College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.
Half of all college students change their major at some point. By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college. ___20___.
A. Our school offers many classes
B. We should find out what we are good at
C. I’ve avoided anything related to art since then
D. Instead, many are on their phones and talking
E. I found out that I have no artistic ability at all
F. Walk out of our comfort zone and try new things
G. The classes we choose can influence us in the future
【答案】16. D 17. A 18. E 19. F 20. G
【解析】

【16题详解】
根据上文From what I have seen, few do homework.可知在我看来，很少有人做家庭作业。由此可知，本句承接上文列举那些不做家庭作业的人都在做的事情有哪些，比如打电话和聊天。故D选项“相反，许多人都在打电话和聊天”符合上下文语境，故选D。
【17题详解】
结合后文Now is the time for us students to choose a suitable one. We will experiment in different fields of study. We will never know if we are interested or talented in a subject if we don’t try it.可知现在是我们学生选择一个合适自己的课程的时候了。我们将体验尝试不同的学习领。如果我们不去尝试，我们永远不会知道我们是否对某一学科感兴趣或有天赋。由此可知，学校提供了许多的课程可供学生选择。故A选项“我们学校提供许多课程”符合上下文语境，故选A。
【18题详解】
根据后文Now I know for sure that I do not want to be an artist.可知现在我很确定我不想成为一个艺术家。由此可知，作者并没有什么艺术方面的能力。故E选项“我发现我一点艺术能力都没有”符合上下文语境，故选E。
【19题详解】
根据后文College is when we should focus on a specific major, but high school is when we have to figure it out.可知大学是我们应该专注于某一特定专业的时候，而高中是我们必须弄清楚的时候。由此可知，高中时期应当弄清楚自己喜欢的特定专业，所以要大胆走出舒适区，尝试新的事物。这也与文章的标题相呼应。故F选项“走出舒适区，尝试新事物”符合上下文语境，故选F。
【20题详解】
结合上文By doing that hundreds of dollars are wasted on classes that they would have never needed to take. So use our extra periods to find out what we want to do in college.可知这样一来，数百美元就浪费在了他们根本不需要上的课上。所以，利用我们的额外时间来发现我们在大学想做什么。由此可知，本句承接上文说明选择的课程对自我发展的影响。故G选项“我们选择的课程可以影响我们的未来”符合上下文语境，故选G。

【答案】36. spoken
37. to communicate
38. Although/Though/While
39. or 40. leading
41. importance
42. known 43. more popular
44. has become
45. who/that
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了尽管英语被称为“世界语言”，但超过50亿人——地球上的大多数人不会把英语作为第一语言或第二语言。文章分析了过去一些重要的语言，并分析也许有一天，世界各地会用另一种语言来代替英语。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态语态。本句中主语与谓语动词构成被动关系，且根据上文English was once可知为一般过去时的被动。故填spoken。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知communicate在句中作非谓语动词，且为动词不定式作目的状语。故填to communicate。
【38题详解】
考查连接词。句意：尽管英语被称为“世界语言”，但超过50亿人——地球上的大多数人不会把英语作为第一语言或第二语言。本句为让步状语从句，表示“尽管”应用although/though/while引导，句首字母要大写。故填Although/Though/While。
【39题详解】
考查固定短语。根据短语either…or…表示“要么……要么……”。故填or。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。修饰后文名词language应用形容词leading，表示“主流的”。故填leading。
【41题详解】
考查名词。根据上文their为形容词性物主代词修饰名词importance，表示“重要性”。故填importance。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知know在句中作非谓语动词，与逻辑主语language构成被动关系，故用过去分词。故填known。
【43题详解】
考查比较级。句意：法语曾经是所有受过良好教育的人都知道的语言，而且比英语更受欢迎。结合句意可知表示“更受欢迎”应用比较级形式。故填more popular。
【44题详解】
考查动词时态。根据上文since the nineteenth century可知应用现在完成时，且主语为English，助动词用has。故填has become。
【45题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：今天，许多想学一门新语言的人正在学习汉语、西班牙语或阿拉伯语。本句为定语从句修饰先行词people，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人应用关系代词who或that。故填who/that。
【点睛】定语从句中的关系词选择，可考虑以下几点：
1、看清楚先行词的意义，就是理清先行词是指人、指物、时间、地点、原因。指物时不能用who或whom，指人时通常不用which等等。
2、看清楚关系词的句法功能，就是理清关系词是担任什么句子成分，是作主语还是宾语、是作定语还是状语等等。作定语通常用whose，有时也用which。作状语要用when, where, why。
3、看清楚定语从句的种类，就是理清是限制性定语从句还是非限制性定语从句。that、why通常不引导非限制性定语从句。
4、看清楚文体，就是理清是正式文体，还是非正式文体。是书面语体还是口语体。
如第十小题，句意：今天，许多想学一门新语言的人正在学习汉语、西班牙语或阿拉伯语。本句为定语从句修饰先行词people，且先行词在从句中做主语，指人应用关系代词who或that。故填who/that。

Emily was a shy and quiet student in Greenfield High School. Emily was known for her quiet behavior and her love for literature, often found lost in the pages of a book during lunch breaks.
One day, as Emily walked through the hallway, she noticed a colorful poster announcing an upcoming English poetry competition. Her heart raced with excitement at the prospect of showcasing her talent, but her mind was immediately flooded with doubts. “What if my poem is not good enough What if everyone laughs at me ”she thought to herself, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
As the days went by, Emily found herself caught between her desire to participate and her fear of failure. She talked with her best friend, Sarah, who had been by her side since they were little. She was known for her outgoing personality and her ability to make everyone feel included.
“You have a gift, Emily, ”Sarah said reassuringly, her blue eyes filled with encouragement. “Don’t let your fears hold you back. You never know what might happen unless you try. ”
With Sarah’s support, Emily decided to take a leap of faith and submit her poem for the competition. As the day of the event drew near, she felt a mix of nervousness and expectation. She spent hours perfecting her poem, carefully choosing each word and line to convey her emotions. She practiced her poem in front of the miror, trying to perfect her delivery and expression.
But despite her newfound confidence, Emily couldn’t shake off the feeling of doubt in her mind. These thoughts consumed her, making it difficult for her to focus on anything else.
It was during one of these moments of self-doubt that Sarah came to her rescue once again. “You’re an amazing writer, Emily, ”she said, her voice filled with warmth and sincerity. “Your poem is going to be incredible.

A
While tea may have originated in Asia, now there are many countries all around the world that have tea woven into their food culture and traditions. This is one of the very special parts of tea as it has a way of connecting people all over the world in different ways and ceremonies that finally all results in a group of people sitting together and enjoying a cup of tea.
Chinese tea culture
Since China is viewed as the birthplace of tea, it is no wonder that Chinese tea culture is rich with history and tradition. Today, Chinese tea continues to be used in Chinese medicine and is commonly consumed on both casual and formal occasions both for personal enjoyment and to represent Chinese cultural traditions.
Japanese tea culture
Japan also has a long history with tea,especially Japanese Matcha, which is a kind of ground green tea that is commonly used in Japanese tea ceremonies and only in recent years became popular in Western culture.
British tea culture
When many people think about tea, British tea culture is what comes to mind. A hot cup of English Breakfast or Earl Grey tea serves with a little milk and a biscuit in the afternoon as a pick-me-up for the day. Even though tea may not be native to England, this British tea tradition is still going strong today.
Moroccan tea culture
When you visit Morocco, it is hard to miss the outstanding tea culture that is such a large part of Moroccan hospitality. Before any gathering, negotiation, or sale of a product, a pot of mint tea is always prepared and served among the host and guests. This is an expression of Moroccan tradition and hospitality, which should always be accepted by guests as a sign of appreciation and respect to the host.
1. Why can tea find its way into various food cultures
A. It originates in Asia. B. It forms different ceremonies.
C. It gets people connected easily. D. It allows people to sit together.
2. In which country may a cup of mint tea be served before negotiation
A. China. B. Japan. C. Britain. D. Morocco.
3. In which column (专栏) on social media may the text appear
A. Healthy You. B. Social Insight. C. Cultural Corner. D. Itchy Feet Travel.
B
When I was a kid, my siblings (兄弟姐妹) and I used to have ice cream for dessert. Every day, we would choose which ice cream flavor to have, whether to eat it in a cone or a bowl. Then we would happily wolf down our treat (款待) as fast as we could.
Once, though, when I was probably about 10 or 11, our grandpa came to visit us. Grandpa always had a unique view on things. On this particular occasion, my sister and I were making bets as to who could finish our ice cream first. With a smile, Grandpa said, “Why would you want to finish first If you eat slowly, it will last longer. You should have a competition to see who can finish last.” Even now, I always try to taste my ice cream, but of course this is about more than just dessert.
Too often, kids want to scramble (争夺) for more, whether it’s more ice cream, more toys, or more friends. This habit persists into our adult years, and we end up constantly scrambling for more. We never develop the skill of appreciating what we have. If we learn to recognize this pattern and change it, we can raise our kids a little differently, giving them the tool of tasting their widely known dessert, which could lead to a happier life for them.
What my grandpa taught me that day was really that if you take the opportunity to enjoy what’s in front of you, the pleasure will last longer and be more rewarding than if you rush through life always trying to get the next treat. It’s a lesson that, I think, has made my adult life happier, as well. These days, when I want something, I wait as long as I can before I allow myself to have it. Then, when I finally get it, I make sure to treasure it as long as possible, because I know that, no matter what it is, it will be gone all too soon.
4. The author’s grandfather advised her sister and her to_______.
A. stop eating ice cream B. learn something from their way of eating
C. stop the competition between them D. eat ice cream as slowly as possible
5. Which of the following best describes the author’s grandfather
A. Humorous. B. Wise. C. Strict. D. Careful.
6. What advice does the author give us in the passage
A. Value what you have. B. Keep longing for more.
C. Have a balanced diet. D. Save for the future.
7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph
A. The author benefits a lot from her grandfather’s advice.
B. The author doesn’t like ice cream as much as before.
C. The author just starts to understand her grandfather.
D. The author longs for the days when they ate ice cream.
C
A few weeks ago, I sat with a California farmer named Dave Ribeiro. I asked him what he wished more people knew about farmers. He smiled and said, “That we walk among you. We look like you and talk like you. We have advanced degrees and hobbies, just like you.”
Take Dave: He’s a young man with a music degree. And if you walked past him on the street, you’d never think, “There goes a farmer.”
Is someone like Dave who you picture when you think of a farmer Probably not. I think that most people would picture a man in his overalls. I can tell you, that does not represent Dave or any of the many other farmers I have gotten to know.
Not only do we have to throw out our stereotypes of farmers, but farming as a whole doesn’t look much like it used to either. We recently sent a team out to see what modern farming looks like, and they found farmers to be completely different from our usual ideas about them and also came across them in some unexpected places.
In a parking lot in a neighborhood of Brooklyn, they met a new crop of young farmers who are trying to bring fresh greens closer to eaters in the city by growing them in high-tech indoor vertical farms. In a Florida field under the flight path of an airport, they discovered farmers with university degrees growing algae (藻类) that might someday fuel our cars. And in a modern farm in California, they observed how farmers are using technology to take the best possible care of their animals.
These farmers all spend their days in very different ways — none of them looks like the stereotypical farmer we have in our mind — but they’re all working on new ways to feed our planet. Not only do we need to change our idea of what farming looks like, but we also need to change our view of where solutions can come from. Feeding all of us is going to take all of us working together.
8. How does Dave describe today’s farmers
A. They often walk on the street. B. They are leading a very busy life.
C. They are similar to ordinary people. D. They have little time to make friends.
9. How does the author think most people see farmers
A. They usually wear overalls. B. They have interesting hobbies.
C. They are skilled at growing crops. D. They know modern farming practices.
10. What was the purpose of the team
A. To deepen connections among farmers.
B. To study different technologies in farming.
C. To report on the new developments of farming.
D. To encourage farmers to use new farming methods.
11. What do the farmers mentioned in Paragraph 5 have in common
A. They all work in the city. B. They all use high technology.
C. They all do hard physical work. D. They all work with universities.
D
Thirteen-year-old Kaylee has a lot of friends — 532, actually, if you count up her online friends. And she spends a lot of time with them.
But is it possible that Kaylee’s online friendships could be making her lonely That’s what some experts believe. Connecting online is a great way to stay in touch, they say. However, some experts worry that many kids are so busy connecting online that they might be missing out on true friendships.
Could this be true During your parents’ childhoods, connecting with friends usually meant spending time with them in the flesh. Kids played Scrabble around a table, not Words With Friends on their phones. When friends missed each other, they picked up the telephone. Friends might even write letters to each other.
Today, most communication takes place online. A typical teen sends 2,000 texts a month and spends more than 44 hours per week in front of a screen. Much of this time is spent on social media platforms (平台).
In fact, in many ways, online communication can make friendships stronger, “There’s definitely a positive influence. Kids can stay in constant contact, which means they can share more of their feelings with each other,” says Katie Davis, co-author of The App Generation.
Other experts, however, warn that too much online communication can get in the way of forming deep friendships. “If we are constantly checking in with our virtual words, we will have little time for our real-world friendships.” says Larry Rosen, a professor at California State University. Rosen also worries that today’s kids might mistake the “friends” on the social media for true friends in life. However, in tough times, you don’t need someone to like your picture or share your blogs. You need someone who will keep your secrets and hold your hand. You would like to talk face to face.
12. What is the purpose of the first paragraph
A. To summarize the text. B. To tell about true friends.
C. To bring up a discussion. D. To encourage online friendship.
13 What does the underlined part “in the flesh” mean in Paragraph 3
A. In person. B. In advance. C. In any case. D. In full measure.
14. What is Katie’s attitude towards online communication
A. Worried. B. Positive. C. Confused. D. Unconcerned.
15. What view does Rosen hold
A. It’s wise to turn to friends online.
B. It’s easier to develop friendships in reality.
C. Social media help people stay closely connected.
D. Teenagers need focus on real-world friendships.

One day, as Emily walked through the hallway, she noticed a colorful poster announcing an upcoming English poetry competition. Her heart raced with excitement at the prospect of showcasing her talent, but her mind was immediately flooded with doubts. “What if my poem is not good enough What if everyone laughs at me ”she thought to herself, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
As the days went by, Emily found herself caught between her desire to participate and her fear of failure. She talked with her best friend, Sarah, who had been by her side since they were little. She was known for her outgoing personality and her ability to make everyone feel included.
“You have a gift, Emily, ”Sarah said reassuringly, her blue eyes filled with encouragement. “Don’t let your fears hold you back. You never know what might happen unless you try. ”
With Sarah’s support Emily decided to take a leap of faith and submit her poem for the competition. As the day of the event drew near, she felt a mix of nervousness and expectation. She spent hours perfecting her poem, carefully choosing each word and line to convey her emotions. She practiced her poem in front of the miror, trying to perfect her delivery and expression.
But despite her newfound confidence, Emily couldn’t shake off the feeling of doubt in her mind. These thoughts consumed her, making it difficult for her to focus on anything else.
It was during one of these moments of self-doubt that Sarah came to her rescue once again. “You’re an amazing writer, Emily, ”she said, her voice filled with warmth and sincerity. “Your poem is going to be incredible. Just believe in yourself. ”With Sarah’s words in her mind, Emily felt a renewed sense of determination.
