A
When the weather is bad or when the flu breaks out, we can let the kids do some fun things at home, which can be beneficial to kids.
Reading out loud
If your children are young enough, don't forget to read books to them out loud! Few children dislikehaving a good book read to them, and it's great for the development of their brains. However, if your children are a bit older and have moved onto more advanced books, there is always the choice of listening to an audiobook. This can also be done while they're doing something else.
Playing board games
Maybe your children's table is full of board games, which have been forgotten for a long time. It's a good time to bring them out when playing outside is no longer a choice. Surely, playing board games is a great way to connect with children. In addition, many board games are designed to get children thinking!
Having a dance party
Considering that all you need is a speaker or maybe just a phone, you can have a dance party wherever you are! This is a great way to get kids’ bodies moving when they are inside. Play some of your children's favorite music and let them dance to it. Not only is it good exercise, but it will help your children feel time is flying!
Doing jigsaw (拼图) puzzles
For most people that have children, it's common to have at least one jigsaw puzzle at home. Jigsaw puzzles are great because everyone can do them on their own time. Besides, your whole family will have a sense of achievement when everyone is smiling over the finished product.
1. What do reading out loud and playing board games have in common?
A. They both develop children's team spirit.
B. They both improve children's listening ability.
C. They both do good to children's thinking ability.
D. They both focus on interaction between children.
2. Which of the following combines exercise and music?
A. Reading out loud.
B. Playing board games.
C. Doing jigsaw puzzles.
D. Having a dance party.
3. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To list four interesting children's parties.
B. To recommend four children's favorite books.
C. To introduce some activities for children inside.
D. To show some funny things for children outside.
B
Avi Loeb, a scientist, believes that we are not alone in the universe. The belief fits withLoeb's alien spaceship theory that at least one alien spaceship might be flying over the orbit of Jupiter, which won the international attention last year.
Astronomers inHawaiifound the first known interstellar object in late 2017. It was a bit of light moving so fast past the sun that it could only have come from another star. Almost every astronomer on the planet was trying to figure out how the object, called “Oumuamua” got to our far-away part of the Milky way galaxy. “One possibility is that ‘Oumuamua’ is debris from an advanced technological equipment,” Loeb said. “Technology comes from another solar system just showed up at our door. ”
“‘Oumuamua’ is not an alien spaceship,” Paul Sutter, another scientist wrote. He suggested Loeb was seeking publicity. Most scientists think “Oumuamua” is some sort of rock. They think it could be an icy wandering comet.
Loeb says that “Oumuamua's” behavior means it can't be a block of rock shaped like a long photo. He thinks it's more likely an object that's very long and thin, perhaps like a long pancake or a ship's sail. Loeb says that if someone shows him evidence thatcontradictshis beliefs, he will immediately give in.
Loeb believes himself a truth-teller and risk-taker in an age of very safe, too-quiet scientists. “The worst thing that can happen to me is that I would be relieved of my management duties, and that would give me even more time to focus on science,” Loeb says. He said he wouldn't mind giving up all the titles he had and returning to the Israeli farming village where he grew up.
4. What does Loeb say about “Oumuamua”?
A. It is an icy comet.
B. It looks like a long photo.
C. It is actually some sort of rock.
D. It may come from another alien civilization.
5. What does the underlined word “contradicts” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.Goes against.
B. Relies on.
C. Turns to.
D. Searches for.
6. What do you think of Loeb?
A. He is foolish.
B. He is unsatisfied with his titles.
C. He is a firm believer in scientific truth.
D. He is uncertain about his career future.
7. What's the best title for the text?
A. Have Aliens Paid a Visit in Spaceships?
B. Do We Really Know about Space Theory?
C. Scientists Are Working on High Technology
D. Astronomers Are Encouraging Space Travel
C
It all happened one afternoon in Carl's backyard a few years ago. We had just finished playing stickball, and I was about to go home.
“Wait a minute,” Carl yelled. He ran into his house and cameback with a book for me to take home and read. All he said was, “See if you like it.”
I said ly nothing. I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread. Carl never asked me if I liked it or not. During the following two years Carl lent me three more books. Each time I returned them unread.
A few days after graduating from high school, Carl asked, “Benny, which college are you going to?”
“I'm not going to college.” I said.
“Why not?” he asked.
“Because my father can't afford the tuition (学费).” I answered.
“Is that it?” Carl asked. “Yes,” I said.
I lied. I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out. The following day, Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the bookMartin Eden.“I think that should do it.” he said.
Once again I was in shock. I was working full-time in my brother's bakery. I attended two classes atWayneUniversitypart-time at night. Halfway through the semester, after receiving failing grades on exams and essays, I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades. I dropped out of college.
One day, curious, I picked up the book, thinking Carl was trying to tell me something. Despite difficulty, I pressed on. By the time I finished the book, I understood why: the main character, Martin Eden, had my own poor educational background, but managed to educate himself and become a published author.
8. What do we know about the author?
A. He often told lies.
B. He quit school unwillingly.
C. He had thought little of education before.
D. He became a published author.
9. What kind of person is Carl?
A. Caring.
B. Emotional.
C. Stubborn.
D. Cautious.
10. What message does Carl want to convey?
A. Reading makes a rich man.
B. Reading is the journey of the soul.
C. Reading makes a person better known.
D.Readingopens up new opportunities.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. A strong desire for college
B. A wish for better education
C. A wise friend
D. A wise book
D
Taking an afternoon nap could keep your brain sharp, a new study has said. Adults ages 60 and older who took afternoon naps showed signs of better mental ability compared to those who didn’t nap, according to a study published in General Psychiatry earlier this week.
Researchers analyzed napping habits in 2, 214 older Chinese people and measured their cognitive abilities using several cognitive tests. Participants took the Mini-Mental State Examination and theBeijingversion of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, both of which test for memory, language and other cognitive abilities. In every category listed in the study, nappers tested statistically higher on average compared to their non-napping counterparts.
Researchers did not gather data from people under 60, so a correlation cannot be drawn between napping and younger generations. The study also noted that there are conflicting studies about the benefits and risks of napping.
Sleeping behaviors can be affected by a multitude of factors, said Dr. David Neubauer, associate professor atJohnsHopkinsUniversity. “Daily routines, medication use and sleep disorders can all play a role in how frequently someone takes a nap.” he said.
Neubauer recommended taking a shorter “power nap” of up to 20 minutes to decrease the chances of
transitioning into slow-wave sleep, which makes people feel groggy when they wake up. “Napping can be a healthy part of an older adult’s day”, Neubauer acknowledged, but make sure “sleepiness isn’t due to a treatable nighttime sleep disorder.” Older individuals who want to do all they can to preserve their cognitive functioning should put nighttime sleep first.
12. What is the best way to keep a better cognitive ability for the old?
A. Take a nap every day.
B. Take sleep disorder seriously.
C. Have a good sleep at night.
D. Do exercise regularly.
13. How did the researchers reach the conclusion?
A. By taking the examinations and assessment.
B. By analyzing napping habits and giving tests.
C. By measuring nappers’ ability and analyzing them.
D. By doing an experiment.
14. Which has NO effect on one’s sleeping behaviors?
A. Taking a nap.
B. Medicine treatment
C. Sleep problems
D. Everyday activities.
15. What can we know about “slow-wave sleep”?
A. It appears in short nap up to 20 minutes.
B. People should avoid it in their naps.
C. It is a healthy part of an elder’s day.
D. It was recommended by Neubauer.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项Four smart ways to help build your children’s vocabulary
“Johnny next door can name his color1 s, but Gloria can hardly even say her own name. What am I doing wrong?”___16___But the good news is that children really are born to absorb the language around them. The following are some ways to help build your child’s vocabulary.
Never use baby talk
Young children understand so much more than they can initially repeat.___17___Of course you are not going to start speaking to a baby in difficult English, but it’s important to speak to them the way that you’d speak to anybody else. Even if your child can’t or doesn’t use the same vocabulary when he talks, it is helping his language development.
Follow your child’s lead
___18___Trying to turn her attention away from the clown (小丑) so that you can point out the word for “elephant”, is not only frustrating, butalso it’s probably not doing much good. Instead of driving the conversation, you’ll be more successful in making words “stick”, if you look at what your child is paying attention to. Encourage any kind of reading.
Even young kids who haven’t yet learned to read will memorize books that they’ve often heard. So go ahead and have your child “fill in” words as you’re reading together.___19___For older children who are already readers, it’s important to let them choose their own reading material.
___20___
At two years of age, some kids may only use about 30 words while others may be able to use 300 words. But there’s very little evidence that those children with 30 words at age two will have worse outcomes by the time they are five or six years of age.
A. So don’t talk down to them.
B. Correct pronunciation gently.
C. Don’t panic if your child is slow to talk.
D. It will help with their vocabulary development.
E. That sort of comparison can lead to a lot of parental anxiety.
F. Let’s say you’re taking a trip tothe circus with your young daughter.
G. The best thing that parents can do is really just talk to their children all the time.

My favorite inventor is Alexander Graham Bell. When he was a small kid, Bell started to show much interest helping deaf people communicate, so his mother was almost entirely deaf. This interest led to his invention of the microphone. Beside, he also invents the telephone in 1876. However, at the beginning, that he actually tried to design was not a telephone but a multiple telegraph. During his search to improve the telegraph, Bell invented the first telephone. One of his most famous saying is: “Leave the beaten track occasional and dive into the woods. Every time you do so you will be certain to find something which is completely new in your life.” Indeed, what it was his acute curiosity that made his success. Bell was an inventor all his life. He made his first invention at 11 but his last invention at 75.
