A. Start and end the school day later.
B. Shorten the school day.
C. Offer art classes.
【答案】17. C 18. A 19. B 20. A
【原文】M: Hello, everybody. I’m Reid. Today I will discuss the effect of sleep on school students. Firstly, whether a lack of sleep affects teenagers The answer is “Yes”. Many teenagers are getting little sleep and there are concerns that this could have a serious long-term effect on their body health and spirits, but we aren’t sure about that now. However, one study has clearly shown that high school students getting low grades also get on average one hour less sleep than students getting high grades. Then why aren’t teenagers getting enough sleep I think they spend too much time on TV and computer games. So how can teenagers fall asleep easier Well, don’t have any soft drinks or any drink that contain chocolate before sleeping. Reading a book or listening to a story, rather than music, should help your brain to relax. It would be better for schools to stay open longer so that pupils can do homework before they get home. Another thing that some schools have tried successfully is to begin the school day half an hour later and end the school day half an hour later, and I really recommend that.

Eric Carle, the author of over 70 books for children, passed away at the age of 91. Mr. Carle’s lively, creative, and colorful works have been loved by children around the world. “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” is Mr. Carle’s best-known book.
Eric Carle was born in New York in 1929. His parents were German. As he grew up, Eric spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small living things, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder. Eric thought this helped explain why so many of his books are about nature, bugs and animals.
When Eric was 6, the family moved back to Germany because his mother missed her home. Life in Germany was unbelievably sad and difficult for Eric and his family during World War Ⅱ. After the war, Eric studied art in school.
In 1952, Eric moved back to New York, where he got a job at the New York Times. After author Bill Martin Jr. saw a drawing that Eric had done in the paper, he asked Eric to illustrate his book, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See ”. The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit, which also made Eric popular. Eric continued to work with Mr. Martin for years. Though he also created pictures for books with other authors, Eric created many of his most well-loved books completely on his own.
Most of Mr. Carle’s books are meant for younger readers. He said that he wanted to help make school a fun, welcoming place. “I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn,” he said. “I want to show them that learning is really both attractive and fun.”
24. What played a main role in determining the topic of Eric Carle’s books

The Qixi Festival, the Chinese equivalent (等同于) of Valentine’s Day that fell yesterday, was not only a disappointment for forgotten lovers, but also for businessmen left with empty pockets.
The cold attitude has made cultural experts seriously worry that the lovers’ festival, marked for generations since the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), is dying out. Some have even called for legislation (立法) to make the festival a legal Chinese Lovers’ Day, which falls on the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar year. But the effectiveness of such a measure is in doubt, although efforts to preserve traditional festivals deserve high praise.
A growing number of traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, share the same fate as the Qixi Festival. Young people are showing less interest in traditional culture as symbolized by these festivals. Even if all traditional festivals are finally made legal, the risk of them becoming purely formalized celebrations with little meaning is not removed. If the younger generation fails to appreciate the cultural significance of these holidays, there is little that can be done.
While complaining about traditional festivals fading in appeal, decision-makers should reflect on cultural protection. Undeniably, our country has done a bad job of preserving culture and traditional festivals, compared to neighboring Japan and Korea. Only a few years ago did China begin to realize the significance of preserving intangible (非物质) cultural heritage when Korea planned to apply to UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) to list its version of the Dragon Boat Festival as an important example of intangible culture.
Concern about the traditional holidays also reminds people of the growing influence of foreign cultures as the country opens wider to the outside world. With traditional festivals becoming less important and imports such as Christmas and Valentine’s Day gaining widespread popularity, the public, including cultural professionals, has tended to measure traditional Chinese festivals in economic terms. How much money can be made during the holidays is taken into consideration.
In fact, what makes traditional festivals unique and what keeps them alive is their cultural elements. After all, it is a unique culture that contributes to the world’s diversity with globalization.
28. What makes Chinese cultural experts worry that the lovers’ festival is dying out
A. The disappointment for both businessmen and lovers.
B. The ignorance of the public to the Qixi Festival.
C. The failure to make traditional Chinese festivals legal.
D. The action to preserve culture and traditional festivals.
29. The public looks at the effectiveness of the legalization of the Qixi Festival with a(n)______attitude.
A. doubtful B. favorable
C. indifferent D. hopeful
30. From Paragraph 3, we can learn that ______.
A. traditional festivals are celebrated by more young people
B. legal celebrations reduce the risk of the disappearance of traditional culture
C. the significance of traditional festivals should be better recognized
D. young people value traditional culture but they can do little
31. The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to ______.
A. remind us that the cultural factors make traditional festivals live on
B complain that Japan and Korea do a better job of preserving culture
C. inform the public of the importance of the globalization
D. warn people against the business role in celebrating traditional festivals
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. A
D
The idea that boys are more interested than girls in computer science and engineering starts as young as age six, according to a new study. That may be one reason why girls and women are underrepresented in these STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) professional fields.
The traditional idea that STEM is for boys begins in primary and junior school, and by the time they reach high school, many girls have made their decision not to go after degrees in computer science and engineering because they don’t think they belong (属于) to the fields.
Researchers surveyed nearly 2,500 students from the 1st to 12th grade with different racial and social backgrounds. Most children believed girls had less interest than boys in key STEM fields. Specifically, 63% of the students believed girls were less interested in engineering than boys were, while 9% believed girls were more interested in the subject. Regarding computer science, 71% thought girls had less interest while 14%thought girls had more interest than boys.
These interest styles play out in the job market. According to the official statistics (数据) of the US, while women make up nearly half of the workforce, they account for only 25% of computer scientists and 15% of engineers.
The laboratory experiments gave children a choice between computer science activities. Fewer girls (only 35%) chose a computer science activity they believed boys were more interested in, compared to the 65% of girls who chose an activity in which they believed boys and girls were equally interested.
It’s time for all to be united in sending the message that girls can enjoy STEM just as much as boys do, which will help draw them into STEM activities. Researchers say educators, parents and policymakers can help close these sex gaps (差距) by introducing girls to high quality computer science and engineering activities in elementary school before traditional ideas take root. They also suggest educators who wish to improve girls’ interest in STEM should consider using inclusive programs designed to encourage girls’ sense of belonging in STEM.
32. Why do fewer women work in STEM fields
A. They all prefer higher-paid jobs.
B. They aren’t good at learning STEM.
C. They are influenced by traditional ideas.
D. They are not fit for working in the fields.
33. What do most students surveyed think of school girls
A. Girls can learn STEM better.
B. Girls have difficulty learning STEM.
C. Girls pay too much attention to STEM.
D. Girls are less interested in STEM than boys.
34. What does the author suggest to close sex gaps in STEM fields
A. Encouraging and guiding girls to learn STEM.
B. Limiting the number of boys learning STEM.
C. Offering awards to girls learning STEM.
D. Drawing girls to give up other fields except for STEM.
35. What is the text mainly about
A. Sex gaps in STEM fields.
B. Features of STEM fields.
C. The importance of STEM.
D. Students’ interest in STEM.
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. A

One afternoon after school, Mary and her brother, Keith, were eating at a cafe near their home. That afternoon, they had to share their table with another person. That person was a young lady in her twenties. After eating, she went to the restroom. Without realizing, she had left her handphone on the table. Five minutes later, she came out and walked out of the cafe without looking back.
Mary saw the handphone on the table. She quickly told Keith, “Keith, the girl left behind her handphone.”
Keith looked at the handphone. It took his breath away. It was one of the latest models on the market. Keith had always wanted a handphone. But his parents had told him, “You don’t need one. You can always use the house phone.”
He stared at it for some minutes. Then he said slowly, pausing on every word, “I want to take the handphone.”
Mary could not believe her ears. She merely stared at her brother. “You can’t! What if the owner comes to look for it ”
Having made the decision, Keith quickly grabbed the handphone and put it in his schoolbag. Then, he took Mary’s hand and led her out of the cafe quickly.
Once back home, Keith locked his house door with trembling hands. Inside his room, he took out the piece of beauty. Oh, he liked it so much. Now he had his own handphone. Soon, he was polishing it happily.
But Mary told him, “Keith, you cannot keep the handphone. What will you tell Father about this He will ask you how you got the handphone.”
Keith said quickly, “I will say a friend lent it to me.”
Mary said, “Now you are lying too.” Oh dear! When had Keith turned so dishonest
Then Mary saw a house phone number on the plastic cover of the handphone. “This is the girl’s phone number. Why don't we just call this number We will talk to her and ask her to come and take back her handphone.” She was trying to talk some sense into him.
注意：

【答案】
That night, Keith turned over in bed from time to time. The shiny new handphone in his drawer felt like a heavy stone weighing on his conscience. Images of the girl’s anxious face kept flashing in his mind — what if she needed the phone for an emergency What if she cried over losing it Guilt twisted in his stomach, and he sat up abruptly, staring at the moonlight streaming through the window. Finally, he whispered to the darkness, “I have to give it back.”
Mary was very happy to hear that. She hugged Keith tightly and pointed to the phone number on the cover. “Let’s call her right now — she might still be awake worrying!” she urged. Half an hour later, the girl arrived at their doorstep, tears in her eyes. As she thanked them profusely, Keith placed the phone in her hands, his face warm but his heart lighter. Later, he found a small sticker in his bag from the girl: “Kindness shines brighter than any phone.” He smiled, realizing true happiness came not from possession, but from doing what was right.
