B
Last weekend, I was talking about winter vacation plans with a friend when I suddenly realized that this year I should start up an old plan of learning how to skate again.
I’ve always wanted to learn skating。
But I didn’t have a proper chance to learn it. When I was young, the small coastal city where I lived had no ice rink (溜冰场)。
My parents signed
me up for classes at a skating school out of town, but I had to catch the early bus on weekends to get there, and it took two hours to go and come back, so I gave it up pretty quickly。
Now is my chance to fulfill my childhood dream! Excited, I started calling skating rinks in Beijing, hoping to sign up for lessons. But some said they only had classes for children。
Some said it was too much trouble to teach adults. One receptionist paused after my question and said strangely,“You never learned this as a child?”
I understand if they don't get many adult learners, but to say that adults are harder to teach than children is such a slap in the face。
I thought I lived in a society that encourages people to take on lifelong learning。
Is there some unspoken rule that says after one reaches a certain age, he or she is not allowed to learn systematically with a trainer anymore? Are adults not allowed to pursue new hobbies?
There were many things I didn't have time to properly learn when I was young。
I failed to see how important hobbies were, and I was sick of my parents nagging (唠叨) me to do after—school activities. Today, when I want to go out with friends, I find I have so few activities to do with them。
And now I’m being told that I can't even make up for my childhood mistake. It seems that I've missed my chance. I missed it 20 years ago。
Now, I can only go on being ordinary.
24.The author gave up learning skating when she was young because _____________.
A.she wasn’t interested in it
B.her parents didn’t allow her to learn i t
C.her parents couldn’t find any skating schools
D.it was inconvenient for her to take the lessons
25.How did those skating rinks the author called respond to her request?
A。
Positively B. Anxiously C。
Flexibly D。
Disappointingly
26。
Which could be the author's opinion?
A。
It's never too late to learn.
B. It 's understandable that adults don’t like learning。
C. Adults are harder to teach than kids。
D。
Adults had better not pursue new hobbies。
27。
The passage is written to express the author’s ___________.
A。
fear of going on being ordinary
B。
determination to learn skating well
C。
regret for losing the chance of pursuing hobbies
D。
bl ame on her parents’ nagging her to do after-school activities
C
We’re not sure where letting children drink wine fits into permissive, authoritarian and authoritative parenting styles, but a research team from the University of New South Wales are trying to find it out。
During their study, researchers discovered that kids who were given alcohol by their parents were more likely to be consuming whole drinks by the time they were 15 or 16, but were far less likely to binge—drink(酗酒).
The researchers analyzed nearly 2,000 Year 7 students and their parents over a four—year period. They measured the teenagers’ consumption of whole drinks, their binge drinking-consuming four or more drinks at a time, as well as who supplied them with the alcohol: their parents, friends,or other adults. The study found that when children were given alcohol from their parents, they were least likely to binge—drink。
But what about the long—reported damage that alcohol can have on developing teenage brains? Lead author of this study, Professor Richard Mattick, says that giving children alcohol at an earlier age could serve as a preventative measure of kids developing alcohol-related problems later in life。
“There’s a body of research indicating the adolescent brain is still developing well into the early 20s and alcohol may prevent the best development,”says Professor Mattick。
“But also we know parents want to do the right thing for their children and there has been anecdotal evidence that children introduced to alcohol by their parents, as is common in some European cultures, may be less likely to develop problems with alcohol.”
However, there's one result from the study Professor Mattick can’t ignore: that being given alcohol at an early age by the parents doubled (使加倍) children's possibility of drinking than their peers (同龄人). “There may be later harms that are not yet obvious, and we’re aware that an early start of drinking is strongly associated with later alcohol use problems in adulthood —putting it off is the best strategy."
28.According to the researchers, kids supplied with alcohol by their parents will be______。
A.more likely to quit drinking in adulthood
B.less likely to grow into teenage binge—drinkers
C.more likely to grow into binge—drinkers
D.less likely to have whole drinks as teenagers
29. Who affected kids’ drinking behaviors the most in the study?
A. Their parents B。
Their friends C。
School authorities D。
Strangers 30。
Which statement will Professor Mattick agree with?
A。
The brain stops developing before the age of 20。
B。
Alcohol won’t damage the developing teenage brains.
C。
Giving kids alcohol at an earlier age may have its benefit.
D。
European kids tend to develop problems with alcohol。
31. On Professor Mattick’s advice, parents had better________。
A. let kids drink alcohol at an early age
B. make kids start drinking alcohol late
C。
forbid kids to drink alcohol at any age
D。
permit kids to drink alcohol at will
D
An arts program is helping students at some of the lowest performing schools in the United States。
The program, called Turnaround Arts, aims to help improve low performing schools by adding music and the arts to the usual study program.
Turnaround Arts was launched by Michelle Obama, the wife of former U.S President Barack Obama. Some money for the program comes from the federal government. For the students at participating schools, the program offers a kind of safe place from city neighborhoods. Many of the children come from areas with high crime rates。
Turnaround Arts is a partnership between the federal government and private businesses. Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary is one of the 68 schools in the U.S。
participating in the program。
Teachers receive special training and look for ways to add music and the arts into all the classes。
Turnaround Arts schools partner with musicians and actors who work with the students。
Performers have included Yo—Yo Ma, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elton John and Cameron Diaz.
School headmaster Long noted “The children were so excited and have been so excited because it’s not just about - ‘Go to the board。
Do the problem. Turn the page. Read the book’; it's
about acting and imitating artists and historic figure s.” She noted how some students got the chance to act out the process of a caterpillar (毛虫)becoming a butterfly. “I like to act and I like to sing and I like to dance,” said 10—year-old Kayla Driakare.
Long said that Turnaround Arts was only in its first year at the school, and teachers were already seeing results. “We’ve probably suspended(暂时停学) one kid this year。
That’s amazing,” she said. “Parents are getting phone calls to come to family arts night,and it’s not just the naughty calls home. It’s for th em to come and learn more about what their children are learning. So our parents’ engagement goes up."
32.Turnaround Arts launched by Michelle Obama ______。
A.helps students who behave badly get high grades
B.aims to improve teachers' and students' performance
C.gets financial support only from the federal government
D.provides students with a chance of having access to musicians and actors
33.What can be inferred from what Principal Long said?
A.Students love this program very much.
B.Students can learn how to act from this program。
C.This program makes students know science well。
D.Students can perform themselves well during the program。
34.Which word can replace the underlined word in the last paragraph?
A.attitude
B. proposal C。
involvement D。
opportunity
35.What's the author's purpose in writing the passage?
A.To advertise for an institute.
B.To introduce an arts program of the USA.
C.To call on people to support some lowest performing schools。
D.To encourage more American schools to participate in Turnaround Arts。

Only 1 percent of Singapore’s 724 square kilometers is currently used for agriculture。

Singapore has announced new measures designed to quickly increase local food production in the next ten years, including rooftop farming。
37 The plan includes $21million in government money to support local production of eggs, vegetables and fish in the shortest possible time。
This plan includes efforts to find new farming spaces, such as industrial areas and empty building spaces. 38 Officials say one part of the project aims to establish rooftop farms
on public housing parking areas beginning in May.
39 It is to raise local food production levels to make up for climate change and population growth that could threaten worldwide food supplies。
“The serious COVID—19 situation highlights the importance of local food production, as part of Singapore's strategies to make sure of food safety,” the Food Agency said in a statement。
The plan were announced as the worldwide spread of COVID—19 has caused shortages of many products, including food in some areas。
Limitations on population movements around the world have weaken supply chains and raised concern about worsening shortages and price increases. 40 But it has decided to speed up the process of increasing local production to begin within the next six months.
A.The rising prices are hitting customers hard as well。
B.Singapore’s Food Agency says its goal is specific.
C.Climate change has great influence on food production.

One day many years ago, my teacher told me to go to the principal’s desk。
I opened the door 56 (nervous)。
To my surprise,seated in front of the principal's desk 57 (be) my parents。
My father walked to me, 58 (hold) some of my drawings。
“Why do you only use a black crayon when you draw?" he asked。
I couldn’t speak. “ Show me your desk,” said my father.
We returned 59 my classroom。
My father found there was only one black crayon. “Where are the rest?”
I explained, “I shared them with my friends as you 60 (teach) me before.” My father took a deep 61 (breathe), “You were sharing。
" Then I found my father’s face and the principal’s face were red。
I learned years later that my father’s face was red because of anger, and 62 the principal’s face was red because he felt 63 (embarrass). He thought I might have some emotional problems and called my parents。
In fact, I was too shy 64 (ask) for my “shared”crayons back. That night my father talked to me with patience about all 65 differences between sharing and giving.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文(恰当运用并列复合句、主从复合句)。
续写的词数应为150左右。
Saving someone' s life is clearly not an easy thing, especially when it comes to something as personal and risky as sharing one of your kidneys(肾脏)with them. This kind of behavior always presupposes (以...为先决条件)a relationship between the donor and the receiver, like a husband to his wife or a father to his son. So when a woman donated a kidney to a complete stranger, she surprised the world with her kindness。
The story has a surprising start, in a public bus. Rex Scott is a bus driver and his wife,Valerie Scott, had been dealing with kidney disease for 7 years。
Her kidneys kept growing until they reached the size of footballs, gradually losing their function。
“Only a transplant operation can save her,” Rex Scott told the reporters。
Rex was not even supposed to be driving the day that he met his wife’s saviour(救星), Joyce Smith。
When Joyce Smith boarded Rex' s bus, she had been on a trip with her friend, Heather Musch. Musch was also in need of a kidney transplant and Joyce had volunteered to be her donor. Joyce spent a month preparing to become a possible donor. Unfortunately, Musch was not considered healthy enough to be a recipient (接受者)yet and the window was closing fast on Joyce’ s possibility of becoming a donor.
That is all until Joyce and her friend were about to get off Rex' s bus。
”Before he let us off the bus, he also said he took a kidney as a tip。
If he had not made that joke, none of this would have happened," Joyce Smith said。
Joyce was already fit to be a donor, but since her friend Musch could not receive her kidney,all her efforts seemed wasted。
So when she heard Rex’ s joke, she knew that her opportunity to help somebody came。
She had already made the decision to be a donor, whether it was her friend or someone else。
Para. 1:“My little son has benefited from the transplant operation and I want to pass the kindness on," Joyce Smith said。
____________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________
Para. 2: What’s crazier is that Joyce Smith was a perfect match for Valerie Scott。

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to ask for advice on my relationship with my teenage son. To tell the truth,
I often struggle to get along with him。
Recently we have argued with each other a great deal。
He is anxious about his skin because it has started to become very oily, with lots of red spots. He is always angry these days and seems less confident. I keep telling him that these changes are normal, and that things will turn out just fine。
Of course, I wanted to show my concern for his condition, so I asked him to see a doctor. But then he became angry and we had
a big argument。
He told me that I was putting even more press on him by talking about his spots all the time。
In the end, I sent him to his room。
He finally calmed down, but it took some time。
The whole experience was really terrible and I do not want to go through the same thing again。
What should I do?
Best wishes,
Mrs。
Zhang

1:“My little son has benefited from the transplant operation and I want to pass the kindness on," Joyce Smith said. Joyce’s little son was a transplant recipient years ago. He got the gift of life in the form of a kidney transplant. “I want to do an act of kindness。
I love this kind of action because it might make a total difference in the lives of others。
It was my
first act of kindness, and I really want to continue." Joyce Smith added, smilingly.
Para。
2: What's crazier is that Joyce Smith was a perfect match for Valerie Scott。
Usually, it’s hard to find the right match because you don’t just need a willing donor. The donor and the receiver need to have the same blood type. Luckily, Joyce was a perfect match for Valerie Scott. More fortunate is that the operation was successful. Valerie Scott was becoming healthy slowly。
The two strangers became life—long friends and developed a close relationship.
