One day, Archimedes saw a young boy tried very hard to lift a heavy rock. The boy was using all his strength 1 still couldn’t move it. Archimedes saw this as 2 perfect opportunity to show the power of the lever (杠杆) 3 the boy could help him. Archimedes found a long, strong wooden plank (木板) and placed it 4 the rock. Then, he stood at one end of the lever and said, “If you give me a firm support, I can move the world!”
As the lever 5 as his tool, for a short time, Archimedes 6 lifted the rock. The boy watched in amazement as the heavy object rose from the ground. Atchimedes explained that the lever allowed us to apply a 7 force over a greater distance, resulting in a larger force at 8 end of the lever. This principle allowed us 9 heavy objects with less effort.

In 1271, Marco Polo left Venice with his father and uncle and set out for Asia. The purpose of their trip was to meet with Kublai Khan who ruled a large part of Asia.

The Chinese cheongsam, also known as qipao, is a traditional dress that first appeared in the early 20th century in Shanghai. It has become a symbol of Chinese culture and is worn by women around the world.
The cheongsam hugs the curves (曲线) of the body and is mostly made of silk or cotton. It’s typical with a high collar (领), short sleeves (袖) and a short cut on the side of the skirt to make movement easy.
The cheongsam was first worn by wealthy women in Shanghai as a way to show their social positions and wealth. But it quickly became popular among all classes of women as daily clothes. During the 1920s and 1930s, the cheongsam experienced changes and became fitter and better designed with fashionable elements (元素).

One of the most popular looks of the cheongsam is Anna Wong, a Chinese famous movie star. She often wears cheongsams on and off screen. Her look helps to make the dress win popularity in Hollywood and around the world.
The cheongsam is not just a symbol of fashion, but also of Chinese culture and history. It brings out that Chinese people can always keep up with changing fashion over years.

① Have you heard of “helicopter (直升机) parents” If parents pay too much attention on their children, then they are. “Helicopter parents” are always working hard to provide children with every chance (机会) to succeed, from baby steps at age 1, homework at age 8, job at age 25 to family problems at age 30, 40 or even older.
② Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons. Worries about children’s future success can push parents to take more control over their children’s life. Adults who felt unloved as children may want to give as much love as they can to their own children. And when parents see others doing so, they will also follow.
③ Although it develops with the idea of doing good things, yet the result isn’t always satisfying. Mary is taken to five after-school classes each week, but she doesn’t do well in any of them. “I feel like I am just checking off things on the list.” she says.
④ Worse still, over parenting can do the exact opposite. A child raised in this way may feel helpless when he has to do things on his own. “ ,” an expert said, “and if parents don’t let their children experience failure themselves, the children won’t get them.”
⑤ Since helicopter parenting does such great harm (伤害), does it mean parents should just back off and let it go Of course not! “The point is to prepare the kid for the road but not the road for the kid.” another expert said, “Teach them what is right, provide them with good environment and develop their good habits, but you have to let them live their own lives.”
34．We learn from the passage that _________.
A．helicopter parenting does great harm to children
B．helicopter parenting only happens to very young children
C．helicopter parents can protect their children against all problems
D．children who have helicopter parents live a hard life without any happiness
35．Which of the following sentences can be put in _________ in the passage
A．Don’t be a helicopter parent
B．It’s a parent’s job to support the children
C．Making decisions, solving problems and taking risks are key life skills
D．Parents try their best to make sure their children never meet with failure
36．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part in Paragraph 5
A．Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B．A thousand miles begins with a single step.
C．All things are difficult before they are easy.
D．Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
37．Which best shows the structure (结构) of the text

Dear Max. Please help. I live in Germany with my wife and three kids. My parents live in the U.K. I want my kids to have as much contact with their grandparents as possible. The kids all use e-mail, Skype and SMS, but my parents won’t. I’ve bought them a laptop, given them both mobile phones and a digital but they won’t use them. My parents say they hate computers, new camera and technology. My kids call them “The Technophobes.” What can I do Daniel, Nuremburg, Germany
You should give them a copy of the film Witness. The film shows the life of the Amish people, who are genuine technophobes. The Amish live in the US states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Indiana. They live simple lives and do not usually use many types of modern technology like cars telephones, and electricity. Corey, New York, U.S.A．
Actually the earliest technophobes were the Luddites, a group of cloth workers in the 19th century in Britain during the Industrial Revolution (工业革命). The Luddite cloth workers, who traditionally made cloth by hand, were worried that machines would take away their jobs. because machines could make cloth much faster and cheaper than humans. In 1811 and 1812, the Luddites attacked and destroyed the machines, but the British government supported the factory owners. Many Luddites were arrested and killed. The novel Shirley will tell your parents all about it. Laura, Valencia, Spain
You’re not alone, Daniel. There are millions of technophobes out there. A recent survey in the U.K. found that 23% of the adult population in the U.K. are technophobes. Of that group 54% are men and 46% women. 55% are over 55 years old. Rex, Oxford, U.K.
One thing you could try is to find hardware that is designed for older people to use. An example is the mobiles made by the U.S. company Jitterbug. Instead of icons and menus, the Jitterbug phones ask users simple “yes/no” questions and have larger keypads. The company realized that there are about 100 million older users in the U.S. So designing technology for them was a good business idea. Graham, Patras, Greece
38．What topic are these people talking about
A．Parent-child relationship. B．Growth problem of teenagers.
C．Health problems of old people. D．Problems with using technology.
39．What does the word “The Technophobes” mean according to the passage
A．People who dislike new technology.
B．People who destroy new technology.
C．People who can invent new technology
D．People who are interested in new technology.
40．Who thinks that Daniel’s parents may change their idea by learning stories about some Technophobes’
A．Corey and Rex. B．Corey and Laura.
C．Rex and Graham. D．Laura and Graham.

Papermaking technology (造纸术) is one of the four great inventions in ancient China. 41 Thousands of years ago in the Mediterranean (地中海), it was common for people to write messages on broken pieces from jars (坛，罐). 42
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, an official named Cai Lun created a sheet of paper using mulberry (桑树) and other fibers (纤维) along with fishing net, old clothes, and other wastes. He steamed and cooked al these materials with water, and changed them into pulp (纸浆), then poured the pulp out carefully on a fine screen and dried it into a kind of thin paper. The paper was suitable for writing and was also very cheap, so it became very popular. 43
After the Eastern Han Dynasty, papermaking technology had been gradually improved. And then bamboo and straw could also be used as the materials for making paper. 44 For example, the Xuan paper is used for Chinese calligraphy and painting.
Papermaking technology was introduced to the Korean peninsula and Japan in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties, and later to Arabia and other countries. 45 It also plays an important role in the development of global civilization.
A．Therefore, Cai Lun played a great part in papermaking technology.
B．Before it was invented, people wrote on different kinds of things.
C．Because of different materials, many kinds of paper were produced for different uses.
D．Animal skins and wood were also common materials to write on.
E．The invention of paper provides a more convenient way for communication of information.
