My nephew Tyden and I were celebrating another nephew’s birthday at a local amusement center. It was the kind of place where you got tickets for scoring points in the games and then cashed them in for prizes.
Tyden won top prize of tickets，so we went to cash them in and select his gifts. I felt a little sad because my loved one and I had our first date at this center and had exchanged little things from the showcase. I noticed a turtle and remembered my partner loved it. I asked the young man behind the showcase if I could just buy the turtle without tickets. He said. “Unluckily. that is not a choice.”
I needed to win 350 tickets to cash the turtle in.so I left Tyden choosing his gift alone there. I bought game tokens（代币）and entered the game room. I had just chosen a game I thought I could win when I heard Tyden's excited voice，“Auntie，Auntie！Look！”
He pulled the turtle out from behind his back and gave it to me. My eyes were filled with tears. and my heart burst with love. He had listened to that whole conversation and chosen to give the turtle to me instead of getting whatever he wanted.
Before I could thank him. he said，“I wanted you to have it，so you didn't have to spend money，which would cause you to work hard”.
I held him in my arms，and told him how much I loved him. I am beyond thankful to have the title of his Auntie

It is challenging to teach children about seasonal foods in a modern-day grocery store (杂货店). Having lots of choices of fresh produce from all around the world means that a sense of the seasons is lost. That’s why I like being part of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Every week I receive a share of vegetables that comes from a nearby farm. I do not know ahead of time what I’m getting, nor do I have any say on what comes home; I take whatever was harvested earlier that same day, based on the week’s weather conditions, and use them to the best of my ability.
My kids have had a good knowledge of the supply of certain vegetables throughout the harvesting season. They know what it’s like to eat a lot of asparagus (芦笋) until they’re sick of it only to move on to dark greens and leafy salads, then eggplants, and tomatoes, and finally the root vegetables that mark the arrival of cold weather.
The funny thing is, when you’ve eaten a ton of something for a few weeks, you’re ready to move on to the next crop (作物) and leave the other behind, but when its time comes the following year, the expectation will return. In this way, a CSA share creates excitement at vegetables that can’t be felt when everything can be bought all the time, as it is in a grocery store.
A farmers’ market can offer similar lessons in seasonality to a CSA, but it differs in that you have more choices about what you buy. A CSA share, however, only offers few kinds of vegetables and sometimes fruits, forcing you to work out ways of using them up. I enjoy this challenge because it tests my cooking skills and introduces my family to new and unusual vegetables. What’s more, it is glad to know I’m supporting local farmers by eating what they want to grow, not just what I’m used to eating.
68. What is special about the vegetables offered by the CSA program
A. They are free.
B. They are cheap.
C. They can’t be found in local grocery stores.
D. They make the author full of expectations.
69. What does the author think of the CSA share
A. It provides enough supply of vegetables.
B. It makes people choose vegetables freely.
C. It keeps people’s excitement for vegetables.
D. It makes people become sick of eating vegetables.
70. What does the author say about the program in the last paragraph
A. It encourages him to support local farmers.
B. It helps him learn about the community.
C. It gives people more choices of foods.
D. It causes local farmers a lot of stress.
71. What is the best title for the text
A. Local food is becoming more popular
B. The CSA program is making a difference
C. People are encouraged to experience farm life
D. Naturally grown food improves people’s health
D
It was a February afternoon in a Brooklyn classroom. Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face to face with a cow. But it was all in her head. She was transported by a virtual reality (VR) headphone. It took the Berkeley Carroll School junior and eight other classmates to a northern New York farm. The farm was 250 miles away. For students, the technology means field trips are no longer kept within the length of a bus ride.
It's unknown how many classrooms have or will use the technology, but experts say few classrooms do or will do. Headphones that require a user's phone can cost as little as $20 or $30, but systems and software for classes run into thousands of dollars. The problem of not having good software is disappearing as more companies enter the market. But the rules for use haven't kept abreast of the development of the technology. In New York, for example, virtual reality lab experiments are not included in the state's hands-on lab time requirements.
Experts say science classes are where virtual reality holds promise for classrooms. “The biggest problem, I think, is going to be how closely it mimics the real world." That's according to David Evans, the director of the National Science Teachers Union. However, he said, “The ability to do dangerous things and to run many, many more cases in a virtual space as opposed to the real physical space stands for a huge learning chance.”
Lamb taught chemistry and he agreed. “Too often in schools, when you do experiments in labs, you mix these together, you mix those together and you get this result. And if you don't get that result, you have done something wrong. But we don't have enough resources for you to redo it, “he said. “In virtual reality, all I do is hit reset on the computer. I don't have to actually use chemicals.”
72. What was Taylor Engler doing
A. Riding a bus. B. Giving a lesson. C. Designing a farm. D. Experiencing VR.
73. What does the underlined part “kept abreast of" in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Led to. B. Focused on. C. Caught up with. D. Broken away from.
74. What did Lamb think of the use of VR in the classroom
A. Helpful. B. Troublesome. C. Interesting. D. Challenging.
75. What is the purpose of the text
A. To point out the importance of practice. B. To introduce the use of VR in teaching.
C. To give information about modern schools. D. To show the appearance of VR technology.

The daily life can be busy and at times difficult. It may sometimes feel like bringing just a little more inner peace and calmness into your life is a hopeless wish. ____76____Small and smart changes can make a big difference over time. Here are some tips for finding more peace and calmness in everyday life.

A. Ask instead of guessing.
B. Sometimes you have a bad day.
C But it doesn’t have to be that way.
D. And say no if you really don’t have the time.

My nephew Tyden and I were celebrating another nephew’s birthday at a local amusement center. It was the kind of place where you got tickets for scoring points in the games and then cashed them in for prizes.
Tyden won top prize of tickets，so we went to cash them in and select his gifts. I felt a little sad because my loved one and I had our first date at this center and had exchanged little things from the showcase. I noticed a turtle and remembered my partner loved it. I asked the young man behind the showcase if I could just buy the turtle without tickets. He said. “Unluckily. that is not a choice.”
I needed to win 350 tickets to cash the turtle in.so I left Tyden choosing his gift alone there. I bought game tokens（代币）and entered the game room. I had just chosen a game I thought I could win when I heard Tyden's excited voice，“Auntie，Auntie！Look！”
He pulled the turtle out from behind his back and gave it to me. My eyes were filled with tears. and my heart burst with love. He had listened to that whole conversation and chosen to give the turtle to me instead of getting whatever he wanted.
Before I could thank him. he said，“I wanted you to have it，so you didn't have to spend money，which would cause you to work hard”.
I held him in my arms，and told him how much I loved him. I am beyond thankful to have the title of his Auntie

C
It is challenging to teach children about seasonal foods in a modern-day grocery store (杂货店). Having lots of choices of fresh produce from all around the world means that a sense of the seasons is lost. That’s why I like being part of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. Every week I receive a share of vegetables that comes from a nearby farm. I do not know ahead of time what I’m getting, nor do I have any say on what comes home; I take whatever was harvested earlier that same day, based on the week’s weather conditions, and use them to the best of my ability.
My kids have had a good knowledge of the supply of certain vegetables throughout the harvesting season. They know what it’s like to eat a lot of asparagus (芦笋) until they’re sick of it, only to move on to dark greens and leafy salads, then eggplants, and tomatoes, and finally the root vegetables that mark the arrival of cold weather.
The funny thing is, when you’ve eaten a ton of something for a few weeks, you’re ready to move on to the next crop (作物) and leave the other behind, but when its time comes the following year, the expectation will return. In this way, a CSA share creates excitement at vegetables that can’t be felt when everything can be bought all the time, as it is in a grocery store.
A farmers’ market can offer similar lessons in seasonality to a CSA, but it differs in that you have more choices about what you buy. A CSA share, however, only offers few kinds of vegetables and sometimes fruits, forcing you to work out ways of using them up. I enjoy this challenge because it tests my cooking skills and introduces my family to new and unusual vegetables. What’s more, it is glad to know I’m supporting local farmers by eating what they want to grow, not just what I’m used to eating.
68. What is special about the vegetables offered by the CSA program
A. They are free.
B. They are cheap.
C. They can’t be found in local grocery stores.
D. They make the author full of expectations.
69. What does the author think of the CSA share
A. It provides enough supply of vegetables.
B. It makes people choose vegetables freely.
C. It keeps people’s excitement for vegetables.
D. It makes people become sick of eating vegetables.
70. What does the author say about the program in the last paragraph
A. It encourages him to support local farmers.
B. It helps him learn about the community.
C. It gives people more choices of foods.
D. It causes local farmers a lot of stress.
71. What is the best title for the text
A. Local food is becoming more popular
B. The CSA program is making a difference
C. People are encouraged to experience farm life
D. Naturally grown food improves people’s health
【答案】68. D 69. C 70. A 71. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述了作者喜欢CSA项目，并介绍了它的优势和主要作用。
【68题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“I do not know ahead of time what I’m getting, nor do I have any say on what comes home; I take whatever was harvested earlier that same day, based on the week’s weather conditions, and use them to the best of my ability. (我事先不知道我能得到什么，也对到家的东西没有任何发言权；我会根据一周的天气情况，把当天早些时候收获的东西都拿走，然后尽我所能地使用它们。)”以及第三段中“The funny thing is, when you’ve eaten a ton of something for a few weeks, you’re ready to move on to the next crop (作物) and leave the other behind, but when its time comes the following year, the expectation will return.(有趣的是，当你在几周内吃了一吨的东西后，你准备继续下一茬，把另一茬抛在脑后，但当第二年的时候，这种期待又会回来。)”可知，CSA项目提供的蔬菜让作者充满了期待。故选D项。
【69题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“In this way, a CSA share creates excitement at vegetables that can’t be felt when everything can be bought all the time, as it is in a grocery store. (通过这种方式，CSA份额创造了对蔬菜的兴奋，当所有东西都可以随时买到时，就像在杂货店一样，这种兴奋是无法感受到的。)”可知，作者认为CSA分享使人们保持对蔬菜的兴奋。故选C项。
【70题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中“What’s more, it is glad to know I’m supporting local farmers by eating what they want to grow, not just what I’m used to eating. (更重要的是，我很高兴知道我通过吃当地农民想要种植的东西来支持他们，而不仅仅是我习惯吃的东西。)”可知，这个项目使作者支持当地农民。故选A项。
【71题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“That’s why I like being part of a Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. (这就是为什么我喜欢成为社区支持农业（CSA）项目的一部分。)”可知，本文讲述了作者喜欢CSA项目，并介绍了它的优势和主要作用。B“CSA项目正在发挥作用”符合主题，故选B项。

It was a February afternoon in a Brooklyn classroom. Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face to face with a cow. But it was all in her head. She was transported by a virtual reality (VR) headphone. It took the Berkeley Carroll School junior and eight other classmates to a northern New York farm. The farm was 250 miles away. For students, the technology means field trips are no longer kept within the length of a bus ride.
It's unknown how many classrooms have or will use the technology, but experts say few classrooms do or will do. Headphones that require a user's phone can cost as little as $20 or $30, but systems and software for classes run into thousands of dollars. The problem of not having good software is disappearing as more companies enter the market. But the rules for use haven't kept abreast of the development of the technology. In New York, for example, virtual reality lab experiments are not included in the state's hands-on lab time requirements.
Experts say science classes are where virtual reality holds promise for classrooms. “The biggest problem, I think, is going to be how closely it mimics the real world." That's according to David Evans, the director of the National Science Teachers Union. However, he said, “The ability to do dangerous things and to run many, many more cases in a virtual space as opposed to the real physical space stands for a huge learning chance.”
Lamb taught chemistry and he agreed. “Too often in schools, when you do experiments in labs, you mix these together, you mix those together and you get this result. And if you don't get that result, you have done something wrong. But we don't have enough resources for you to redo it, “he said. “In virtual reality, all I do is hit reset on the computer. I don't have to actually use chemicals.”
72. What was Taylor Engler doing
A. Riding a bus. B. Giving a lesson. C. Designing a farm. D. Experiencing VR.
73. What does the underlined part “kept abreast of" in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Led to. B. Focused on. C. Caught up with. D. Broken away from.
74. What did Lamb think of the use of VR in the classroom
A. Helpful. B. Troublesome. C. Interesting. D. Challenging.
75. What is the purpose of the text
A. To point out the importance of practice. B. To introduce the use of VR in teaching.
C. To give information about modern schools. D. To show the appearance of VR technology.
【答案】72. D 73. C 74. A 75. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了学生在学校使用VR的情形、VR教学的现状以及它的优点等。
【72题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段 “Sixteen-year-old Taylor Engler came face to face with a cow. But it was all in her head. She was transported by a virtual reality (VR) headphone. (16岁的泰勒·恩格勒与一头奶牛面对面。但这一切都是她的想象，她被一个虚拟现实耳机传送过来。）”可知，Taylor Engler正在体验虚拟现实，在其中她正与一头奶牛面对面。故选D项。
【73题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词后句“In New York, for example, virtual reality lab experiments are not included in the state's hands-on lab time requirements（例如，在纽约，虚拟现实的实验室实验不包括在国家的动手实验时间要求中。）”可知，在纽约，虚拟现实的实验室实验不包括在该州的实际实验室时间要求中，也就是说使用规则并没有跟上技术的发展，故kept abreast of 意为“跟上”，与 caught up with 意思相近。故选C项。
【74题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Lamb taught chemistry and he agreed. “Too often in schools, when you do experiments in labs, you mix these together, you mix those together and you get this result. And if you don't get that result, you have done something wrong. But we don't have enough resources for you to redo it, “he said. “In virtual reality, all I do is hit reset on the computer. I don't have to actually use chemicals.””（兰姆教化学。他认为“在学校里，当你在实验室里做实验时，你经常把这些混合在一起，你把这些混合在一起，你就会得到这样的结果。 如果你没有得到这样的结果，你就做错了。 但是我们没有足够的资源让你们重做。在虚拟现实中，我所做的就是按下电脑上的重置键。 我不需要使用化学药品。”）可知，Lamb认为使用VR技术，如果实验中有做得不对的地方，只需要按一下重置键，就可以重新开始实验，而且也不需要用真正的化学药品。所以他认为在教室里使用VR是非常有帮助的。故选A项。
【75题详解】
推理判断题。综合分析文章可知，本文介绍了学生在学校使用VR的情形、VR教学的现状以及它的优点等，其目的是介绍VR技术在课堂教学中的应用。故选B项。
