When I woke up, my mouth was full of sand and the sun was shinning brightly. I set up and spit (吐) the sand from my mouth. My muscles were very sore as I walked the few meters to the water. The salt hurt my dry lips, but the water helped clean the last bits of sand in my teeth.
As I stood in the water to make my sunburned skin comfortable, I tried to piece together the events of the past few days. Try as I might, I could remember very little. I knew that my boat had turned over because I could see it lying not far down the beach. A few minutes later, I decided to see what was still on the boat. My stomach was rumbling hungrily. Although it was sunny, I knew that night would fall quickly. I needed to build a shelter (遮蔽处) for myself before duck, and I would need some fresh water and food.
My boat was smashed into pieces. Luckily, I was happy to find a knife, a wool blanket, a small bottle of water, and some food. I was working hard to build the shelter when I felt a soft wind that make my skin cool. I stood quietly, enjoying a moment of relax from the sunshine, when I noticed dark clouds in the sky. I quickly kept on my task, hoping the storm would not move in too fast. Another gust of wind caught the side of my blanket and carried it down the beach. I raced after it as the first sounds of thunder (雷) rumbled around me.
The rubbish truck rumbled as it drove down the street. Tyler lay on his bed with his eyes open for a moment before he could make sure where the sound came from. He sat up quickly and looked at his beside clock. Eight o’clock! He had overslept (睡过头) again! Tyler jumped out of bed and went to the bathroom.

【A】hurt 【B】broken 【C】blown 【D】cut

Millions of Chinese have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. You play as the “mother” of a frog who lives alone and enjoys traveling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.
7
The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.
Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of American adults say they’re lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported. This might be why the UK government declared (宣布) the country’s very first “Minister of Loneliness” (孤独大臣) in January. The minister’s job is to find ways to help UK citizens feel less lonely. The minister’s office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.
This loneliness problem may be partly because of social media (媒体). When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting pictures on WeChat, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own. As a result, we feel sad and lonely.
But we should remember that no one is born to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent (陆地), a part of the main”
42. Travel Frog is becoming popular because___________________.
【A】the frog is lovely
【B】the game is really easy.
【C】it makes people feel less lonely
【D】players like to be the “mother” of a frog
43. The underlined word “this” in paragraph 3 refers to______________.
【A】The mobile game
【B】A common problem
【C】The problem of being sad
8
【D】The problem of being lonely
44. From John Donne’s poet in the last paragraph, we can learn that_______________.
【A】Everyone is perfect
【B】Everyone is part of the world
【C】Everyone should read John’s poems more
【D】Everyone should stay away from social media
45.What’s the best title of this passage?
【A】No one should be lonely
【B】Try to stay away from loneliness
【C】Travel Frog becoming more popular
【D】Loneliness becoming a big problem

Millions of Chinese have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. You play as the “mother” of a frog who lives alone and enjoys traveling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.
The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.
