Mother, from my earlier memory, seemed quite different from Father. In those days he was a young-looking man. He did not hesitate to make friends with children as soon as they were able to talk to him and laugh at his stories. Mother was older than he was. She must have been a woman of nearly forty, but she seemed even older. She changed little for a long time, showing no indication of growing old until, towards the end of her life, she suddenly became an old lady.
I was always inquisitive about Mother’s age since I was very young. She never had birthdays like other people, nor did anyone else in our family. No candles were ever lit or cakes made or presents given in our house. To my friends in the street who talked delightfully about their birthday parties, I would repeat my mother’s words that such celebrations were only foolish. “Nothing but deception,” she would say.
“As though life can be marked by birthdays, i t’s deeds, not years, that matter.” Although I often repeated her words and even prided myself on not having birthdays, I once could not help asking Mother when she was born. “I was born. I’m alive as you can see, so what more do you want to know?” she replied, so sharply that I never asked her about her age again.
In so many other ways Mother was different. Whereas all the rest of the women I knew in the neighboring houses took pride in their housewifely abilities, their new furniture, the neat appearance of their homes, Mother regarded all those things as of little importance. Our house always looked as if we had just moved in or were about to move out.
24.What can we infer from Paragraph 1?
A. Father loved his children.
B. Father liked writing stories.
C. Father was a very young man.
D. Father was a very different man.
25.In most of her life, Mother .
A. looked quite young
B. looked like an old lady
C. looked younger than she was
D. looked like a forty-year-old woman
26.What does the underline word “inquisitive” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Certain.
B. Curious.
C. Cautious.
D. Confident.
27.What do we learn about Mother?
A. She was lazy.
B. She was strict.
C. She was proud.
D. She was special.
C
Researchers from the U.S. space agency NASA are currently trying to find out what kind of plants could grow in the red soil on Mars(火星). They hope that astronauts will be able to start growing their own food on the red planet. The journey to Mars could take up to two-and-a-half years. The astronauts will need to take a lot of food with them just to last for the journey. They will never be able to return to Earth, which means they will need to grow their own fruit, vegetables and other plants from seeds. NASA said there could be a problem because Mars doesn’t have soil that is good for growing things, which just has red dust.
Humans may be on their way to Mars in the next 15 years. NASA has been testing special “Martian gardens” to see what kind of things might grow on Mars. They have
used a special soil made up of crushed volcanic rock because it contains no nutrients or organic material, which it is similar to the soil on Mars. The scientists managed to grow lettuce(莴苣) in it. They said the lettuce tasted normal, but it had weaker roots and took longer to grow. They will now try growing other vegetables. A NASA spokesman said, “Discoveri es made in these Earth-based ‘Martian gardens’ will pave the way for future studies and technology development in terms of reliable, efficient food production a long way from Earth.”
In 2015, NASA astronauts on the Interactional Space Station ate space-grown lettuce for the first time. The lettuce took 33 days to grow on the space station and was part of NASA efforts to provide future astronauts with a sustainable food supplement during long space voyage.
28.It is more difficult to grow plants on Mars because .
A. there is no sunlight
B. there is no fresh air
C. there is no fresh water
D. there is no suitable soil
29.From the text, we can know the soil on Mars .
A. contains no nutrients
B. is full of organic material
C. is similar to that on the earth
D. is made of crushed volcanic rock
30.What can we know from what the NASA spokesman said?
A. It is not practical to grow plants on Mars.
B. The test on “Martian gardens” is a failure in a way.
C. In the near future, vegetables may be grown on Mars.
D. Much more studies are needed to grow plants on Mars.
31.What happened to the lettuce in the experiment?
A. It tasted normal.
B. It grew normally.
C. It grew more slowly.
D. It dies from weaker roots.
D
WeChat, the Chinese social media smartphone app, saw an increase in user numbers of 41 percent year on year to 500 million at the end of last year, in a sign that parent company Tencent is extending its reach for the mobile Internet. As one of the largest Internet integrated service providers in China and one of the most Internet users in China, Tencent’s profit grew 24 percent to RMB 20.98 billion per year, slightly higher than forecasts, driven mainly by online gaming profits. It is unclear how much WeChat contributed to Tencent’s profits but the app’s growth is a strong indicator of the company’s long-term health as it tries to adjust its business to be more suitable for mobile devices.
“We extended our leadership in games and online media, and made breakthroughs in emerging platforms such a s online security and mobile payments.” Ma Huateng, Tencent chairman, said in a statement. WeChat is the second highest ranked social app in China, behind QQ, Tencent’s another chatting app, which claimed to have 815 million registered monthly users at the end of 2014.
Tencent has been unwilling to earn money through WeChat by flooding it with advertising, which could influence the users’ experience. But this is expected to change. Some analysts anticipated(预期) that advertising would be introduced on a large scale later this year. Early attempts to test ads on the service have not always gone smoothly. After a BMW ad was introduced on some users’ feed backs in January, many users who were not targeted by the b rand’s marketing complained of “discrimination” by Tencent’s data mining algorithm(数据挖掘算法). They claimed it unfairly treated them as not wealthy or successful enough to view the BMW ad.
32.What is the main driving force of the Tencent’s income growth?
A.QQ.
B. WeChat.
C. Online gaming.
D. Advertisements.
33.What can we learn from the passage?
A. WeChat is ranked behind QQ in China.
B. Tencent wants to earn more through QQ.
C. WeChat contributed most to Tencent’s profits.
D. More advertising would not be introduced later this year.
34.How did some users feel when a BMW ad was introduced?
A. Uninterested.
B. Untouched.
C. Unhappy.
D. Unlucky.
35.What’s the best title of this passage?
A. WeChat, a Popular APP in China
B. WeChat, a Smartphone APP in China
C. WeChat, a Profitable APP of Tencent
D. WeChat, a Nonprofit APP of Tencent

Why Exercise Is Cool?
•Exercise Strengthens Muscles

36 By using your muscles to do powerful things, you can make them stronger. For older teens and adults, this kind of workout can make muscles bigger, too.
• 37
Can you touch your toes easily without yelling ouch? Most kids are pretty flexible, which means that they can bend and stretch their bodies freely without much trouble. Being flexible is having “full range of motion,” which means you can move your arms and legs freely without feeling tightness or pain.
•Exercise Keeps the Balance
38 Your body needs a certain amount of calories every day just to function, breathe, walk around, and do all the basic stuff. 39 But i f you’re not very active, your body won’t need as many calories. Wha tever your calorie need is, if you eat enough to meet that need, your body weight will stay about the same. If you eat more calories than your body needs, it may be stored as extra fat.
•Exercise Makes You Feel Good
It feels good to have a strong, flexible body that can do all the activities you enjoy—like running, jumping, and playing with your friends. It’s also fun to be good
at something, like scoring a basket, hitting a home run, or perfecting a dive. But you may not know that exercising can actually put you in a better mood. 40 It’s just another reason why exercise is cool!
A. Exercise Makes You Free
B. Exercise Makes You Flexible
C. Those are exercises that can build strength.
D. If you exercise every day, your body will become better and better.
E. I f you’re active, your body needs an extra measure of calories or energy.
F. Food gives your body fuel in the form of calories, which are a kind of energy.
G. When you exercise, your brain releases a chemical, which may make you feel happier.

Dear John,
How is everything going recently? I am writing to invite you to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival, which is one of traditional festivals in China.
As is well known, the Dragon Boat Festival is held in memory of the famous poet,
Qu Yuan. Generally speaking, it takes place on May 5th in lunar calendar. And on that day, people will eat a special and delicious food which is made of rice—Zongzi. Besides, people will gather to go boating or even take part in dragon boat races. Not only does
the festival spread the traditional culture, but it also makes people closer.
Since you are interested in Chinese traditional culture, I am wondering if you
are available to join us. I am looking forward to your reply.
Yours, Li Hua。
