Three Things to Do Before You Are 18
Are you bored with your daily life? Here are some things you should try before you are 18.
★Learn to swim
Seriously, this is so important that it can save your life. If you can’t swim well, you won’t be able to dowater sports like waterskiing, surfing and diving. Even taking a boat trip will be dangerous for you. Make sure you do it.
★Try at least one kind of team sports
Being a good team player is an important skill in life. You can’t just think of yourself, but have to work well with other people. Other advantages of team sports like basketball, football and baseball are that they keep you fit and healthy, and they are also great fun. Teams usually have a good social life too—you’ll go to lots of parties and make many friends.
★Collect something
One of the best hobbies for under-18s is collecting things. You could collect kinds of stamps, or you could collect things that make you remember what you have done, like cinema tickets for films you have seen or letters from friends. The best way to collect is to have a special album to put your collection in and to write what each thing means to you. That way you won’t forget.
1. The most important reason for learning to swim is that ________.
A. you might feel well
B. it can make you healthy
C. you might easily do lots of things
D. it can save your life
2. The writer tells us that one of the best hobbies is to ________ .

Have you ever imagined that your simple T-shirt could cool you down by up to5★on these hot summer days? Thanks to a recent discovery, the possibility is getting closer. While there are many alternatives that manage to keep the body warm, this amazing invention aims to offer real relief for those who are eager to feel comfortable and fresh in the outdoors on extremely hot days.
Its inventors, engineers Ma Yaoguang of Zhejiang University and Tao Guangming of Huazhong University of Science and Technology in China, look a completely innovative approach. They designed a special textile dial can absorb body heat and re-emit its energy into space as mid-infrared radiation (MIR). This textile cools both the objects and their surroundings through a technique that is known as radiative cooling, Science reveals. This means that even when it looks like you are wearing a regular shirt, you are actually wearing a device that works like a mirror.
Research conducted at Stanford University in 2017 had already managed to cool the wearer by 3★, but this previous trial was limited. So researchers still need to test the new approach to determine how effectively the new fabric cools while the wearers are standing or walking, and not directly facing the sky, like in their trials. They also need to examine and measure how well it works when T-shirts are not in close contact with the skin.
Inventors Yaoguang and Guangming are now looking out for textile manufacturers and clothing brands that are interested in using their fabric. They estimate that the new material will increase clothing manufacturing costs by just 10 percent. “We can make it with mass production which means everybody can get a T-shirt and the cost is basically the same as theirs,” old Yaoguang said.
So if you are an athlete or simply someone that has to deal with the extremely high temperatures, be patient because your days of feeling hot and bothered may be corning to an end!
4. What is the purpose of the new invention?
A. To warm up people's body.
B. To cool people off in hot weather.
C. To detect the wearers' temperature.
D. To protect clothes from becoming wet.
5. How does the special product work?
A. By turning sunlight into energy.
B. By sending out absorbed heat.
C. By keeping heat out completely.
D. By using light color1 s to reflect sunlight.
6. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. The invention needs further testing.
B. The previous studies lack evidence.
C. The new fabric has a good cooling effect.
D. The new fabric applies to various situations.
7. The invention of the T-shirt may hean example of ________.
A. barking up the wrong tree
B. robbing Peter to pay Paul
C. killing two birds with one stone
D. pulling the cart before the horse
C
Many Americans experience surprise (or disappointment) when they wake up on Christmas Day. They might be surprised or disappointed by a family member’s actions. They might be happy or unhappy about a Christmas gift. Imagine a child expects to get an Xbox or PlayStation for Christmas. On Christmas morning, they quickly open their gift. Inside is an English grammar book. They might feel disappointed. The Everyday Grammar team would prefer the new English grammar book. But if you are like most young people, you would probably rather have a new video game.
Today, we are going to explore those feelings-feelings of surprise and disappointment. In other words, we are going to explore how speakers show that reality was better or worse than their expectations.
Many languages use words to express expectation. Speakers also use words to express how events are not happening as expected. This idea is known as “counter expectation”.
Do not worry about the term. Just remember that it means that speakers use words to show that reality is countering their expectations.
English has many words that serve this purpose. Three of the most common are the words “even”, “still” and “actually”. You will often hear them in informal, everyday speech. Speakers use these words to show disappointment. The pitch of their voice tells you what they mean. Let’s study examples of each word.
Speakers often use the word "even” to show disappointment or surprise. Imagine a young child that expects a phone call from a family member-perhaps an uncle or grandparent. The phone call never comes. The child might say the following: “What’s wrong with him? He didn’t even call me on Christmas day.” Americans sometimes use “still” for showing how reality does not quite meet their expectations: “You’re still here? It’s over! Go home. Go!” Another common word that shows surprise or disappointment is “actually”: “I can’t believe it! Uncle Bob actually stole her Christmas gift.”
8. What might most young Americans prefer as a Christmas gift according to paragraph 1?
A. A newly made video game.
B. An English grammar book.
C. A new designed school bag.
D. A unique jacket from their parents.
9. What does the underlined phrase “counter expectation” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Expression of disappointment.
B. Something expected to happen.
C. The same with one’s expectation.
D. A result against what is expected.
10. What do the three words “even”, “still” and “actually” have in common?
A. They are easy to understand.
B. They express disappointment.
C. They show delighted feelings.
D. They are used most at Christmas.
11. What’s the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Expectations from loved ones.
B. Different uses of the three words.
C. Examples of the use of the three words.
D. Emotions of disappointment and surprise.
D
Music is said to be a universal language. But for Chase Burton, a deaf filmmaker fromTexas, music has always been a totally different experience.
“When I was a kid, I’d lie on the floor so I could feel the vibrations (震动，颤动) from my brother’s band rocking out below my body, ” the 33-year-old man said. “That was one of the first times I began building a relationship with music.”
In 2016, his ability to experience music changed dramatically, thanks to California-based technology company Not Impossible Labs. It designed a vibrating suit that enables deaf people to “feel” music through their skin. Consisting of a body harness (背带), ankle and wrist belts, the suit translates audio into a range of vibrating pulses that are felt at 24 contact points.Burtonhas been trialing the suit for four years.
“The sound hits different parts of your body, ” saidBurton. “Maybe it will strikeme down in my ankles first. And then I’ll start to feel the vibrations in my back. And then I’ll feel some pulsations in my wrist.”
The creators want to extends the tactile (触觉) musical experience beyond the deaf community. In 2018, they gave out 150 of the suits at a rock concert inLas Vegaswhere half the audience members were deaf and half were able to hear.
Since then, Not Impossible Labs has been working to improve the technology and says it’s ready to go to market soon. Eventually, the creators want the suit to become a consumer product, accessible to all. The company’s talent and business development director, Jordan Richardson, said that the technology could be used in live sports broadcasts, video games and theme parks.
As a writer and director who’s been working to make the movie world more accessible,Burtonhopes that the vibrating suit will be available to his film audiences in the future. He believes the suit canenhanceemotions while watching a movie – for hearing as well as deaf people. “I see the tech as a real opportunity to help people understand that music for movies doesn’t always need to be enjoyed through the ears”.
12. Why would Chase Burton lie on the floor when he was a kid?
A. To feel some pulsations in his wrist.
B. To feel the vibrations from his brother’s band.
C. To expand the tactile musical experience.
D. To begin building a bond with films.
13. What do we know about Not Impossible Labs from the passage?
A. It was started by Chase Burton in 2016.
B. Its products have been used in live sports broadcasts.
C. It is a technology company based inCalifornia.
D. Its administrative director is Jordan Richardson.
14. Which can replace the underlined word “enhance” in the last paragraph?
A. create
B. express
C. cover
D. strengthen
15. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Vibrating Suit Allows Deaf People to “Feel” Music
B. Tech Company Provides Free Suits for Deaf People
C. Deaf People Enjoy Rock Music with Free Suit
D. Movies Need to Be Enjoyed Through the Ears

I recently had a bad cold. My Chinese friends suggested that I drank some hot water, it made me think of some common home remedies (家庭疗法) back in the US.
When I was about 10, I got the flu, and my mom didn’t take me to the doctor. First, she had me to take several hot showers. Then, she told me to put on as much clothes as I could. After that, I slept on a thick blanket. I was sweating so much that I felt like I’d just taken a bath. Within a day, my flu gone.

52.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。

My school had a tradition. Every year during the eighth grade graduation, a beautiful gold and green jacket with the winner’s name was awarded to the student who had maintained the highest grade for eight years.
I fully expected to win that jacket. I had been a straight A plus student since the first grade. But because I was born in a poor farmer’s family, I couldn’t afford a sports school jacket. This scholarship jacket was my only chance.
One day I was almost back at my classroom’s door when I heard angry voices and arguing. I stopped. I recognized the voices: Mr. Schmidt,my history teacher, and Mr. Boone, the headmaster. They seemed to be arguing about me. “I refuse to do it! I don’t care who her father is. Her grades can never compare to Martha’s. I
won’t lie or falsify records.” That was Mr. Schmidt and he sounded very angry. Mr. Boone’s voice sounded quiet. “...Martha is Mexican...won’t do it...” Hearing that, my eyes watered.
The next day, the headmaster called me into the office. He looked uncomfortable. I looked him straight in the eyes, but he looked away. “Martha,” he said, “There’s been a change in policy this year regarding the scholarship jacket. As you know, it has always been free. This year the Board decided to charge fifteen dollars. So if you cannot afford it, it will be given to …”
“I’ll speak to my dad about it first, sir,” I interrupted,“I will let you know tomorrow.” With these words, I rushed out and cried on the walk home.
When I got home, my dad was busy. I approached him and said nervously in Spanish, which was the only language he could speak, “Dad, the headmaster said this year the scholarship jacket was going to cost 15 dollars. Can you give me the money?” After a few minutes’ silence, my dad turned to me and asked quietly, “If you pay for the jacket, do you think it is still a scholarship? Tell your headmaster we will not pay.” I was angry with his words, but I knew he was right.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

I dragged into the headmaster’s office the next day, but this time he looked me in the eyes.
