One evening last summer, when I asked my 17-year-old son, Ray, for help with dinner, his response surprised me, “What’s a colander（漏勺）?” he asked.
I could only blame myself. Nobody’s hands went in the sauce except my own. But that night, as I explained with a touch of panic that a colander is the thing with holes in it, I wondered what else I hadn’t prepared Ray for. I felt confident that I’d raised a self-reliant boy, as we all try to do. But could he boil water? Sew on a button? Wash his clothes without turning them pink? No, no and no. Suddenly it hit me: He’d be leaving the house in a year to attend college. No way was I going to set a spoiled prince into the world.
As parents, while we focus on our child’s confidence and character, we perhaps don’t always consider th at we are also raising someone’s future roommate, boyfriend, husband, or father. I wanted to know that I’d raised a boy who would never ask the woman in his life, “What’s for dinner?” So I came up with a plan: I would offer Ray a private home economics course. I was delighted to find that he didn’t say no.
For two hours, three days a week, Ray was all mine. One day, as his tomato sauce reduced on the stove, he washed and seasoned a chicken for toasting. Then he rolled out the piecrust（馅饼皮）and filled it with apples, all while listening to my explanation on the importance of preheating an oven.
Three of my four grandparents were tailors, so Ray was genetically programmed to quickly master the basics, like mending a split seam or refastening a button. One day we covered Advanced Laundry, in which I taught him never to mix a red sweatshirt with white shirts or put sweaters in the dryer. I knew that he would rather have been shooting hoops in the driveway than learning to mend socks with his mother -- he tried to beg off sewing lessons, even though I insisted that one day, someone would find the sight of him fixing his own shirt very attractive -- but it couldn’t be denied that he was learning, and more than just housekeeping. “I appreciate more what you do as a mom,” he told me one day.
Ray now understands the finer points of cooking, and more important, he realizes there’s nothing masculine（男子气的）about being helpless. Not only can he make his own dinner, he can make it for his family, too. That’s what I call a man.
24. Hearing her son’s question, the author felt _______.
A. shocked
B. angry
C. disappointed
D. calm
25. We can learn from the text that Ray ________.
A. made great progress in cooking
B. preferred sewing to cooking
C. was unwilling to take the course at first
D. always thought it attractive to do housework
26. The underlined part “more than just housekeeping” shows that Ray _______.
A. fell in love with housework
B. did other work in the house
C. acknowledges the author’s ef forts
D. began to be more independent
27. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Are Women Programmed for Housework?
B. Should Boys Be Involved in Housework?
C. I’m Proud I’ve Raised a Curious Son
D. A Present for My Future Daughter-in-law
C
When you go to the doctor, you receive a diagnosis(诊断) and a treatment. However, with the continued use of technology in health care, the process of diagnosing and treating patients has been changing. The future of health-care is becoming shaped by the new technology. More companies are developing the technology to improve medical care.
Artificial Intelligence(AI) can help doctors analyze a patient’s symptoms and offer the best treatment. With new advancements in medical technology, it makes receiving medical care faster and more accurate. Technology companies provide the data analyzing tools that are necessary to analyze the efficiency of the health care system, which makes the care better and more efficient and improves the quality of care. Technology is also being used to help patients achieve their health goals as well as help patients when doctors are not present. Patients can rely on apps, trackers, and programs to remind them to have themselves checked, track their symptoms or call for help.
In the United States, the creation of AI technology has done better than that of other countries. However, compared to some countries like Canada, the United States has dialed in using AI into its health care system. The reality is that AI is not used in medical care because of the high costs and the structure of insurance(保险). It’s the private health-care system that puts all the cost on consumers of the health-care.
Undoubtedly, using more technology into health-care can be better for the system. It can improve efficiency, limit errors, and cut down wait time. But the high cost of creating this technology can make it difficult to provide service in every hospital and health care clinic in the United State, it also changes the practice of medicine, making it less personal and more about the technology. Now, doctors wouldn’t have to rely on their own knowledge and skill but could turn to robots and computers for help or use better equipment to help them perform a procedure.
As the medical field continues to change, so will the technology that is used in the medical field, making receiving medical care a highly computerized process that could improve the health of the population.
28. Which word can best describe the doctor’s treatment in the future?
A. Inefficient
B. Accurate
C. Controversial
D. Direct
29. How can patients make use of the new technology in their health care?
A. Following their doctor’s track
B. Studying their own symptoms.
C. checking themselves to their health goals.
D. Analyzing the efficiency of the health care system.
30. Why do Americans fail in using AI into their medical care?
A. They think the new technology is no better than that of other countries.
B. They don’t care about the creation of AI technology.
C. They must pay a lot for this technology to be used.
D. They want to keep their treatment secret.
31. What can we learn about AI technology from the last two paragraphs?
A. It makes doctor’s knowledge and skill less important in the treatment.
B. It’s not clear that the technology could improve people’s health.
C. It can’t change the traditional practice of medicine.
D. It increases patients’ wait times in the hospital.
D
As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.
In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try to remember it.
In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the computer. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called "transactive memory (交互记忆)".
According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
32. The passage begins with two questions to ____________.
A. introduce the main topic
B. show t he author’s altitude
C. describe how to use the Internet.
D. explain how to store information
33. What can we learn about the first experiment?
A. The Sparr ow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the information.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
34. In transactive memory, people ____________.
A. keep the information in mind
B. change the quantity of information
C. organize information like a computer
D. remember how to find the information
35. What is the effect of the Internet accordi ng to Sparrow’s research?
A. We are using memory differently.
B. We are becoming more intelligent.
C. We have poorer memories than before.
D. We need a better way to access information.

Having a happier life is something we all always struggle for. One of the key foundations of that is to be consistent in doing things that bring happiness. 36 Consider these 4 habits:
1. Laugh in the middle of a busy day.
It’s 3 pm on a Sunday afternoon and you’re desperate to leave for school. On top of the homework, you’re running close to super important deadline.37 Just take a moment to laugh. You should laugh more often, especially on a busy day.
2. Do not compare yourself to others.
Measure your own successes based on your progress and only yours. 38 No one is better than any one else.
3. Find time to work out regularly and eat well.
Exercise can produce tons of feel-good hormones(荷尔蒙). 39 Feeding your body with whole and nutritious foods, on the other hand, can positively affect your body in both short and long term. Find time to schedule in a workout even if it’s only thirty minutes and do something you love. Eat well because foods can help you stay focused and more energized, and happier as a whole.
4. End each day with gratitude.
40 It might be something as small as a child’s laugh or something as huge as a praise from the headmaster. Whatever it is, be grateful for that day because it will never come again.
A. All of our lives are unique.
B. Surround you with people who matter.
C. Don’t blame everything not going your way.
D. Try to think you are better than anyone else.
E. Develop right habits to ensure we live a happy life.

【范文】
Society produces a lot of rubbish, such as leftover food, waste paper, plastic bottles and batteries every day. It has become a big headache in every city. How to solve this problem? I think rubbish classification is a good way of dealing with it.
Firstly, rubbish classification can reduce the amount of rubbish and the rubbish pollution to the environment. What is more, it can recycle resources, which will do good to our environmental protection.
Since rubbish classification has so many advantages, our government should take effective measures and immediate actions. Different dustbins should be placed in public places so that residents can leave their sorted rubbish in them.。
