Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them, and they’ll probably take you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms --– maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.
There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world, where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.
And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays, people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.
However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”
The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”
24. The best title for the passage is probably _____.
A. Sunday—Best Time for Family
B. Sunday Roast Dying Out
C. It’s the Perfect Time for Us
D. Let’s Sit Down Together
25. Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast?
A. They have a busy lifestyle.
B. They have no interest in cooking.
C. They don’t think it worthwhile.
D. They are living in the modern society.
26. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. A recent article.
B. A traditional kitchen.
C. The fine old tradition.
D. Sunday morning activity.
27. How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying out?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Sorry. D. Uncertain.
C
How many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or “thumbs up”?
Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don’t worry —-- psychological findings have shown it’s completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we can’t help wanting more. According to the findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit in the teens’ brains is particularly sensitive, and the “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on the social network. The research also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same.
So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy these conditions. Feeling “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous or wanting to cover your mistakes may also contribute to such longings.
In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and in turn ruin your happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. “If people could adopt goals not focused on their own self-esteem but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others, they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of pursuing self-esteem,” wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker.
So perhaps the answer to our addiction to “likes” is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves —-- a hard, but a worthy one.
28. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “derive” in Paragraph 2?
A. deliver B. give C. prevent D. get
29. What’s the reaction of receiving “likes” on the social network to the brain?
A. The brain becomes more nervous.
B. Some parts of the brain are active.
C. The brain becomes less sensitive.
D. The brain becomes cleverer.
30. Who wants to get more attention according to the passage?
A. the only child.
B. The old who lives happily with children.
C. The young who feels anxious.
D. Teens who want to discover their mistakes.
31. What’s Crocker’s suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem?
A. Doing an interesting matter.
B. Working harder than ever before.
C. Having a bigger goal than their self.
D. Not checking your Facebook page in a day.
D
Trained dogs might just be the proof that they really are men’s best friends not only because they can fill laundry baskets, but because they can now use washing machines with just a simple bark.
Thanks to the new washing machine —--- the ‘‘Woof to Wash”，a lot of people can benefit from the invention, which enables trained dogs to unlock the machine with a footpad and start it with a simple bark. A doggy footpad and a microphone system have been added, which can recognize a dog’s bark，which means that dogs are able to unlock the machine by pressing the pad with their paw, pull a rope with their mouth to open the machine, and close the machine again with their nose, before starting the washer by barking.
Dr. John Middleton is a great inventor. The disabled owners who are blind or have autism (孤独症)problems or learning difficulties, can’t use the present-day washing machines. So he thought there’s a lot of demand for the new washing machines to make things easier. Then he saw a video from the charity Support Dogs, where a dog makes the bed and loads the washing machine. He was completely blown away by the video at that moment. He was inspired that he could invent a machine which the dog could operate. Mr. Middleton said, “I’m happy I saw the video. A normal washing machine can be very challenging, so the single program machine is very helpful. But a lot of people also have speech problems, so a voice-activated machine is handy. ’’
The Support Dogs charity was set up in 1992. Dogs are trained here using voice commands and hand signals, so that they can help their owners fetch post, turn on light switches, open doors, assist in dressing and undressing, as well as do a complete laundry cycle. It has trained over 200 dogs to date throughout the country and relies fully on volunteer donations.
We hope the new washing machine can help more people. And we sincerely welcome the sponsorship of any type of business which is kindly willing to help. If you would like to sponsor, please contact us!
32. What do we know about the “Woof to Wash” machine?
A. It enables smart dogs to have a bath by themselves.
B. It enables trained dogs to do the washing with a bark.
C. It enables untrained dogs to become popular pets at home.
D. It enables dogs to be trained in the Support Dogs at home.
33. Who would benefit a lot from the new invention?
A. Disabled dog owners.
B. Dog trainers.
C. Famous inventors.
D. The Support Dogs charity.
34. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3?
A. Mr. Middleton once got hurt by the dog in the video.
B. Mr. Middleton wanted to have a similar dog in the video.
C. Mr. Middleton was deeply impressed by the video.
D. Mr. Middleton wanted to make the same video.
35. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To help protect animals.
B. To prove dogs useful.
C. To collect suggestions.
D. To attract sponsorship.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
For the love of reading
The importance of nurturing (培养) young children as readers has become more and more apparent. 36________
Read aloud.
A six-year study found reading aloud to children every day puts them almost a year ahead of children who do not receive daily read-alouds. It is a way to bathe children in the power of the written words. Using texts above the children’s levels gives them the chance to hear high-level vocabulary and absorb complex language structures. 37______
Encourage close reading from the youngest age.
We can do this by asking them questions. Use picture book illustrations to strike up deeper questions and conversations. Ask questions you don’t know the answers to so that children will be able to answer in ways that reflect their own ideas.
38______
Entering the world of stories and knowledge should feel like an exciting discovery process. Create visual ways to track the journey. From a reading minute tracker to a “words we learned” or “our big ideas” chart, we can use these visuals to pause for “hip hip hooray (欢呼)” moments.
Honor each child’s unique identity.
Children become great readers by finding connections as they read. 39______“I notice you like books where animals are the main characters.” “I notice you like books where girls are strong characters.” Even the youngest child will begin to recognize that each person’s reading choices matter.
40________ A child who sees reading as a lifelong, constant companion is more likely to have a lifetime of success.
A. Make the journey a celebration.
B. Hand them a pen when it is necessary.
C. All in all, young children can read early and should be reading all year.
D. Name what you notice about why a child is drawn to a text.
E. Here are four ways to help your child become a reader.
F. The child builds the knowledge that is necessary for being a reader.
G. Reading aloud below their levels also allows them to relax and enjoy beloved texts.
