Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time.” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.
As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me. When I presented the idea to my teen, he immediately accepted
It’s changed our relationship in surprising ways. Where he used to get annoyed quickly at my technical ignorance, he’s learned to be more patient and explain things to me in a way that I can convey to an unknowing audience. The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed — he’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen.
24. What did the writer think of her son’s advice
A. It was unaffordable. B. It was beyond reach.
C. It sounded reasonable. D. It sounded surprising.
25. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3
A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology.
B. Describe their close parent-child relationship.
C. Give examples of her son’s interest in airplanes.
D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s timely help.
26. Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “reversed” in Paragraph 5
A. Unrealistic. B. Opposite. C. Negative. D. Common.
27. What makes the writer feel honored
A. Her son’s patience with their relationship.
B. Her son’s attitudes to some unknown audiences.

A series of books in Chinese and English covering eight classic works of Peking Opera recently released, with the aim of revealing details about the art form in a direct way.
The bilingual (双语的) books are from the Translation Series of a Hundred Jingju Classics, a project originated from 2011, which is part of the effort by the central government to promote Chinese culture overseas.
Peking Opera, with its complex and colorful costumes and make-up, as well as the unique performance combining singing, dialogue, acting and acrobatics (杂技), has become a symbol of traditional Chinese culture. Over the last 200 years, more than 1, 000 Peking Opera shows have been produced telling the most classic historical stories in China, as well as giving glimpses of society, according to Wang. The art form was listed as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity (非物质文化遗产) by UNESCO in 2010. Famous performers such as Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu have also taken Peking Opera abroad. And though foreign fans are impressed by it, few understand the stories told on stage.
To help foreigners understand the art form better, Sun Ping, dean, School of Art, Beijing Foreign Studies University, and her team have edited the new books. Different from previous English translations of books that mostly covered the scripts (剧本) of Peking Opera plays, the new series introduces nearly all aspects of the art form, including the script, actors and actresses, performance skills, musical instruments and costumes, according to Sun, who is herself a highly regarded Peking Opera artist.
“It fills the blank in overseas promotions of Peking Opera,” says Liu Jian, a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theater Arts. “The inheritance and promotion of Peking Opera are very important. In a sense, promotion is even more important. The project sets a good example.”
Scott Ian Rainen, an expert from the United States, who works at China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration, says he was happy to read the new books. Foreigners often don’t understand the plot in a Peking Opera play, but the books introduce the cultural and historical background, its character modeling, costumes and props, artistic theories and so on.
28. Why are the set of bilingual books released
A. To stress the importance of Peking Opera.
B. To attract foreigners to learn Peking Opera.
C. To promote the diversity of Peking Opera.
D. To present Peking Opera more effectively.
29. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. The advantage of learning Peking Opera.
B. The brief introduction of Peking Opera.
C. The benefits of releasing these bilingual books.
D. The reason for people’s attachment to Peking Opera.
30. What’s special about these translations of books
A. They cover stories about Peking Opera.
B. They share a more significant art value.
C. They are better in covering the scripts of Peking Opera.
D. They are overall in showing the features of Peking Opera.
31. What is Scott lan Rainen’s attitude towards the new project
A. Subjective. B. Sceptical. C. Positive. D. Tolerant.
D
A short period of sleep taken during the day is known as a nap. Naps don’t just have benefits for adults at work, though. They could also help pupils to make the most of their school day. Studies have shown that a 20 to 30-minute “beauty sleep” makes people more alert and focused. This improves people’s ability to remember new information, which would help school children concentrate during lessons. Experts say that napping also improves brain functions, such as memory and the ability to complete difficult tasks.
The school day starts early, which means that pupils don’t always get enough sleep because there’s no chance to have a lie-in. Adding naptime during the school day would help exhausted pupils to make up for any sleep they’ve lost from getting up so early.
There are long-term benefits to taking a short nap, too. According to a recent study from University College London, the brains of people who have regular naps are bigger than those who don’t. People’s brains naturally shrink when they grow old, and the results showed that little sleeps can help people’s brains to age more slowly.
Although a nap can seem like a good idea, going to sleep for too long can actually make you feel worse. It’s not very pleasant to wake up from a daytime nap feeling confused and sleepy. Napping during the day can also have a negative impact on how well you sleep at night. This can create a cycle of not being able to sleep as well at night, leaving you feeling even more tired in the daytime. Sleep expert Dr Clete Kushida said, “It’s generally recommended to maximize sleep at night.”
Another consideration is that there really isn’t time in the school day for pupils to go to sleep. Some parents and teachers are concerned that it would cause children to miss too much lesson time. Pupils might take advantage of the system and use their need for a nap as an excuse to get out of lessons.
So, what do you think Should school allow kids to have naps, or should you wait until the evening to catch up on your sleep
32. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. children need more naps than adults do
B. naps improve memory, efficiency and beauty
C. both children and adults are equally in need of naps
D. naps can bring more benefits to children than to adults
33. According to the passage, napping for too long is not advisable because ________.
A. it may affect a healthier cycle of sleep
B. school kids will feel too sleepy to wake up
C. it can’t make up for the sleep lost from waking up early
D. it extends the school day for kids to have enough lessons
34. Which of the following statements can be learned about taking naps according to the passage
A. It’s better for babies to have as many daytime naps as possible.
B. Regular naps can slow the rate at which brains shrink with age.
C. There’s no need to guarantee night sleep if one has regular naps.
D. Different from teachers, parents want their kids to have naptimes.
35. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A. Should Schools Have Naptimes B. How Could Naptimes Benefit Kids
C. Are Kids Losing Too Much Sleep D. Do You Get Enough Daytime Sleep

Two years ago, my 11-year-old son sat me down for a talk. “Mom, it’s time.” he said. “Hear me out: It’s time we got actual TV. And you need an iPhone.”
This funny conversation two years ago marked a shift in our relationship. Perhaps for the first time, I began to really listen to my son’s opinion about our home technology. Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.
I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do. On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died, I took him shopping with me.
As a teenager now, he has a busy social life, with skateboarding, basketball, and online gaming with his friends. I see our time together decreasing and our shared interests shrinking. That’s why I jumped at the chance when a friend mentioned writing technology reviews. I’m a writer, but I’d need a partner who has more tech knowledge than me.

The parent-child dynamic is not only changed; it’s even slightly reversed — he’s leading me. I’m asking him for help and advice. My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.
I never imagined being a tech reviewer, but it’s proved to be a valuable way to learn from, work with and enjoy time with my teen.
24. What did the writer think of her son’s advice
A. It was unaffordable. B. It was beyond reach.
C. It sounded reasonable. D. It sounded surprising.
25. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3
A. Prove her son’s better mastery of technology.
B. Describe their close parent-child relationship.
C. Give examples of her son’s interest in airplanes.
D. Express her satisfaction of her son’s timely help.

【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者与儿子之间的关系通过科技方面的事情发生了变化。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since his reasoning was sensible and his suggestions within budget, I took his advice and was pleasantly surprised with the results.(由于他的论证合理,而且他的建议在预算范围内,我采纳了他的建议,并对结果感到惊喜。)”可知,作者觉得儿子的建议听起来很合理。故选C。
【25题详解】
段落大意题。根据第三段第一句“I’d known for a while that my son understands technology better than I do.(我早就知道我儿子比我更懂技术。)”可知,作者早就知道儿子比自己更懂技术,接下来“On airplanes, he grabbed my phone to put it in airplane mode. He wired the speakers in our house. After something was stolen from our front yard, he picked out, set up, and now monitors our security camera. When my computer died. I took him shopping with me.(在飞机上,他抓住我的手机,把它调到飞机模式。他给我们家的扬声器接线。在我们前院有东西被盗后,他挑选、安装并监视我们的摄像头。当我的电脑坏了。我带他去购物。)”作者通过举例论证了儿子比自己更懂技术,由此可推测出,本段主要论证了作者的儿子对技术更加精通。故选A。
【26题详解】
词义猜测题。根据破折号后的“he’s leading me(他在引导我)”并结合作者与儿子的母子关系可知,作为母亲,作者应该是儿子的导师,给儿子指导,而现在儿子在引导作者,由此可推测出,这里表达的是俩人的关系颠倒了,reversed意为“颠倒,相反”,与opposite(相反的)意思最接近。故选B。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“My son has risen to the occasion. He’s taking it seriously, and to watch him mature in this way is an honor. As someone who’s not much of a reader, he now searches instruction book. Without any prompting, he’s even emailed and called, yes, made an actual phone call to customer service or tech support when sample products weren’t working as expected.(我儿子已应付自如。他很认真,看着他以这种方式成熟是一种荣幸。作为一个不怎么读书的人,他现在搜索说明书。在没有任何提示的情况下,当产品样品没有按预期工作时,他甚至会发电子邮件和打电话给客户服务或技术支持。)”可推知,作者的儿子变得成熟了,而且对待工作非常认真,这让作者感到很荣幸。故选C。

Different from previous English translations of books that mostly covered the scripts (剧本) of Peking Opera plays, the new series introduces nearly all aspects of the art form, including the script, actors and actresses, performance skills, musical instruments and costumes, according to Sun, who is herself a highly regarded Peking Opera artist.
“It fills the blank in overseas promotions of Peking Opera,” says Liu Jian, a professor at the National Academy of Chinese Theater Arts. “The inheritance and promotion of Peking Opera are very important. In a sense, promotion is even more important. The project sets a good example.”
Scott Ian Rainen, an expert from the United States, who works at China Foreign Languages Publishing Administration, says he was happy to read the new books. Foreigners often don’t understand the plot in a Peking Opera play, but the books introduce the cultural and historical background, its character modeling, costumes and props, artistic theories and so on.

A short period of sleep taken during the day is known as a nap. Naps don’t just have benefits for adults at work, though. They could also help pupils to make the most of their school day. Studies have shown that a 20 to 30-minute “beauty sleep” makes people more alert and focused. This improves people’s ability to remember new information, which would help school children concentrate during lessons. Experts say that napping also improves brain functions, such as memory and the ability to complete difficult tasks.
The school day starts early, which means that pupils don’t always get enough sleep because there’s no chance to have a lie-in. Adding naptime during the school day would help exhausted pupils to make up for any sleep they’ve lost from getting up so early.
There are long-term benefits to taking a short nap, too. According to a recent study from University College London, the brains of people who have regular naps are bigger than those who don’t. People’s brains naturally shrink when they grow old, and the results showed that little sleeps can help people’s brains to age more slowly.
Although a nap can seem like a good idea, going to sleep for too long can actually make you feel worse. It’s not very pleasant to wake up from a daytime nap feeling confused and sleepy. Napping during the day can also have a negative impact on how well you sleep at night. This can create a cycle of not being able to sleep as well at night, leaving you feeling even more tired in the daytime. Sleep expert Dr Clete Kushida said, “It’s generally recommended to maximize sleep at night.”
Another consideration is that there really isn’t time in the school day for pupils to go to sleep. Some parents and teachers are concerned that it would cause children to miss too much lesson time. Pupils might take advantage of the system and use their need for a nap as an excuse to get out of lessons.
So, what do you think Should school allow kids to have naps, or should you wait until the evening to catch up on your sleep
32. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. children need more naps than adults do
B. naps improve memory, efficiency and beauty
C. both children and adults are equally in need of naps
D. naps can bring more benefits to children than to adults
33. According to the passage, napping for too long is not advisable because ________.
A. it may affect a healthier cycle of sleep
B. school kids will feel too sleepy to wake up
C. it can’t make up for the sleep lost from waking up early
D. it extends the school day for kids to have enough lessons
34. Which of the following statements can be learned about taking naps according to the passage
A. It’s better for babies to have as many daytime naps as possible.
B. Regular naps can slow the rate at which brains shrink with age.
C. There’s no need to guarantee night sleep if one has regular naps.
D. Different from teachers, parents want their kids to have naptimes.
35. Which of the following might be the best title for the passage
A. Should Schools Have Naptimes B. How Could Naptimes Benefit Kids
C. Are Kids Losing Too Much Sleep D. Do You Get Enough Daytime Sleep
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. A
【解析】

【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Naps don’t just have benefits for adults at work, though. They could also help pupils to make the most of their school day.(不过,午睡不仅仅对工作中的成年人有好处。它们还可以帮助学生充分利用他们的上学时间)”可推知,儿童和成人都同样需要午睡。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Although a nap can seem like a good idea, going to sleep for too long can actually make you feel worse. It’s not very pleasant to wake up from a daytime nap feeling confused and sleepy. Napping during the day can also have a negative impact on how well you sleep at night. This can create a cycle of not being able to sleep as well at night, leaving you feeling even more tired in the daytime.(虽然打个盹似乎是个好主意,但睡太久实际上会让你感觉更糟。从白天的小睡中醒来感到困惑和困倦并不是很愉快。白天打盹也会对你晚上的睡眠质量产生负面影响。这会造成一个晚上睡不着的循环,让你在白天感觉更累)”可知,午睡太久是不可取的,因为可能会影响更健康的睡眠周期。故选A。
