As we spend more time on touchscreens, digital devices (数码设备) are not just changing our habits, but also changing our skills, especially in kids. Chloe Han is a teacher who works with young children. She has noticed that kids’ physical abilities are getting worse because they spend too much time on screens.
46 But many experts are worried that too much screen time is hurting kids’ fine motor skills.
Fine motor skills are the small movements we make with our hands and fingers. 47 Normally, children develop these skills by doing hands-on activities like playing with toys and making arts works. But now, kids often play more on screens than with their hands, leading to weaker fine motor skills.
48 They don’t help develop the finger movements and hand-eye coordination (协调) that hands-on play provides. Less physical playtime means that children have fewer chances to build these important skills naturally.
49 More children are in need of help with their fine motor skills for school and activities. Some are even hard to hold a pencil or zip up their jackets.
But there’s good news. 50 Fun activities like drawing and building with Lego improve their hand-eye coordination. These activities also improve the skills that can help children do better during playground activities.
Finding a better way between screen time and physical play helps kids develop strong fine motor skills while still enjoying the technology.
A．The digital devices are expensive for kids to buy.
B．The digital world can be quite fun and educational.
C．Using screens needs a lot of tapping and swiping (点击和滑动).
D．As a result, everyday activities are now a challenge for many young learners.
E．These skills help us do everyday activities, such as buttoning shirts and tying shoes.
F．Parents and teachers can help by adding screen-free playtime to kids’ everyday activities.

A
Do you like ice-cream Try making some delicious ice-cream yourself! It’s not as hard as you think—you can simply make it in a bag without the need for a fridge!
Steps:①Put milk, sugar and cream in a small bag. Slowly seal the bag to let air out. ②Put this bag in a second small bag and seal it again. Using two bags can keep the mix from going out. ③Take out a big bag and add ice and salt (that can make the ice cooler) to it. ④Put the small bags with the mix in the big bag and seal it. ⑤Shake and rub (揉搓) the big bag for 5 to 8 minutes. Then enjoy your ice-cream! Things you need:milk, sugar, cream, salt, ice, 2 small bags, 1 big bag.
Science behind it:
Milk has water. If you put the mix in the fridge, the water in the milk will turn into ice. This makes the taste of ice-cream not very good. But when you shake the milk, the water stays in the milk and mixes well with other things. So ice-cream made in this way tastes better.
36.Why do we use two small bags
A. To make the ice-cream cooler.
B. To keep the mix from going out.
C. To make it easier to shake and rub.
D. To make the ice-cream more delicious.

During my childhood, my mother did something special in the evenings. Sometimes she would make clothes for us, and other times, she made cakes. But one day, she surprised us all by her words. “I’m going to call one neighbor every night.” I was 16 then and couldn’t understand why she would spend her evenings talking to people she hardly knew.
One evening, I heard her conversation with an elderly lady. She asked about the lady’s dinner and even discussed the flowers in the park. When she finished the talk on the phone, I questioned her what topic she talked, finding them trivial (琐碎). With a kind smile, she explained, “I might be the only person she talked to today. So even the simplest conversations can mean a lot to her.”
It wasn’t until 30 years later that I realized the true meaning of my mother’s nightly calls. The elderly often feel lonely for different reasons. As people age, they may experience the loss of friends and family members. Health problems can make it harder for the elderly to join in social activities. Retirement can also take away everyday activities that were once provided by work. The lonely feeling can be very strong for the elderly. They might feel like they are being forgotten or no longer needed. Without social communication, they may experience sadness and depression.
My mother’s conversations were more than just friendly talks—they were lifelines for lonely old people. Her calls make them know more about the world outside. Her resolution and social skills in communicating were more than I could understand, and I wish I could do better.
41.What unexpected action did the writer’s mother take
A. She made clothes for her family.
B. She took lessons to learn how to make cakes.
C. She planned to call a different neighbor every night.
D. She wanted to spend more time talking to her family.
42.What did the writer say about her mother and the elderly lady’s conversation at first
A. It covered a lot of news. B. It was about nothing important.
C. It was only about nature. D. It appeared to be interesting.
43.What does the underlined word “retirement” mean in Chinese
A. 退休 B. 社团 C. 展览会 D. 声誉
44.Why did the writer introduce the living conditions of the elderly in Paragraph 3
A. To describe their lonely lives.
B. To show their health problems.
C. To show the skills of social communication.
D. To show the importance of her mother’s nightly calls.
45.What can we infer (推断) from the writer’s words at the end of the passage
A. He didn’t realize the importance of simple kindness.
B. He felt sorry not to spend more time with his mother.
C. He planned to continue doing what her mother did for the elderly.
D. He realized the elderly need experts’ help more than conversations.
C
We know that humans and vertebrate animals such as dogs or cats can feel pain (疼痛). But what about small animals like insects () They are not vertebrate animals. Can they feel pain New research from the University of Sydney in Australia shows that insects also experience a feeling similar to pain, even though it might not be exactly the same as what humans feel.
Professor Greg Neely, one of the scientists who worked on the study, explained a common misunderstanding. It is commonly believed that insects do not feel pain. However, he pointed out that the research shows many vertebrate animals can feel and stay away from dangerous things that cause pain. That is to say insects might have a similar ability.
Although we have already known that insects can react to harmful stimuli (对有害刺激做出反应)—a kind of normal feeling of pain, the important finding of this study was about what happens after being hurt. The researchers studied fruit flies(). They caused a smaller hurt to one of the flies’ legs and then allowed the leg to heal (治疗) completely. What happened next was surprising. Even after the leg was completely healed, the flies became much more sensitive (敏感) in that area.
Professor Neely described what they found. The pain stayed in the memory of flies and changed their actions. Once insects are seriously hurt, they will become very sensitive and try to protect themselves for the rest of their lives.
This finding is important not only for understanding insects. Professor Neely hopes this research will find better ways to heal human pain. He said, “Through research, we want to make new stem cell treatments (干细胞治疗法) or medicines that stop pain by solving the real cause of the pain.” By studying how the pain and long-term sensitivity of simpler animals like fruit flies well, scientists believe they can find ways to finally develop treatments that stop people’s pain completely. This research has opened up a brighter future for human medicine.
46.From the research of University of Sydney, we know ______.
A. insects can feel pain
B. insects don’t feel pain
C. vertebrate animals can feel pain
D. dogs, cats and insects are vertebrate animals
47.Scientists study fruit flies in the research because ______.
A. they are easier to catch than other insects
B. fruit flies are the most common insects to be studied
C. they want to test what will happen after they were hurt
D. they want to know if they feel the same pain as humans
48.According to Professor Neely, insects might ______ after being seriously hurt.
A. forget the pain quickly
B. stop reacting to bad stimuli
C. lose their ability to feel danger
D. become more protective of themselves
49.The real purpose (目的) of Professor Neely’s research team is to ______.
A. protect insects from being hurt by humans
B. show that insects feel the similar pain as humans
C. develop new ways to stop human’s pain completely
D. study the pain and short-term sensitivity of simpler animals
50.What is the main idea of the passage
A. Fruit flies are more sensitive to pain than other insects.
B. Vertebrate animals feel pain differently from invertebrates.
C. Scientists found a new kind of stem cell treatments for insects.
D. Scientists’ research of fruit flies can help develop better pain treatments.

51.What is the most important thing in the world I think it is health. You can take away our money, house, car, or even our clothes and we can survive. But if our health were taken away, we would surely die. That is why we always try to eat in a healthy way and exercise regularly (定期的). In order to eat healthily, I usually avoid (避免) eating food high in fat, like French fries or cookies. I eat little meat. I eat a lot of vegetables and fresh fruits. Taking exercise every day helps us build a strong body. Regular exercise is an important part of keeping me healthy. What’ s more, I think friends are an important part of our health. Many studies show that people with a wide range of social contacts (社会交往) get sick less than those who don’t. I always feel better when I am with friends than when I am alone. When I am with my friends, I always laugh. Laughing is also an important part of health. I like to laugh with my friends. By eating properly and exercising regularly, I can keep my body at a proper weight and keep healthy. By spending time with my friends, I can keep my mind as well as my body happy. These things sound easy to do, but not many people can manage them. I think a strong will is necessary if we want to keep healthy.
(1) What does the writer think is the most important thing in the world ________________________________________
(2) To eat healthily, what does the writer eat _______________________________________
(3) What is an important part of keeping him healthy _______________________________________
(4) What’s the advantage (好处) of spending time with his friends _______________________________________
(5) What is necessary if we want to keep healthy _______________________________________
