阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项
A
Children under the age of 18 will be allowed up to three hours per week to play video games, according to a notice issued by China's National Press and Publication Administration. Online game companies are required to provide services to minors — from8 to 9 p. m. on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays — as a way to safeguard their physical and mental health. Children are playing more and more online games these days. Is it time to limit their online gaming time? What role do parents have? Readers share their opinions.
Rizlared
Online games are addictive, but if children are taught how to manage in a sensible and responsible manner then it is no longer a threat(威胁).To achieve this, parents need to set examples for not being glued to their phones. Teaching is and always will be the best solution to such problems.
Andrew
Good policy. By limiting time spent on online games, kids can spend time doing more useful things to develop their potential. They can go outside and run, jump and swim instead of sitting on a couch at home and playing with a smart phone.
Adam
It is often seen that parents argue with children over cellphones. Most parents can hardly set and enforce the time limit for its daily usage. Some forcibly take away their cellphones, but it will ruin trust and relationship. Even worse, it will make their kids hate them.
Pink
Excessive(过度的）gaming is purely a waste of time and energy for minors and has a negative effect on both physical and mental health. The gaming industry should not put profit- flaking interests as its priority (优先事项) . They should act in a socially responsible way toprovide an environment for children to ensure their well-being and development.
Lauren
There would be a loophole(漏洞). Children could use their parents’ or other adults’ IDs to avoid real-name registration, thus making it impossible to put this policy in effect. Parents ly need to strengthen guidance and
supervision to keep their children from gaming addiction.
1. What should kids do according to Andrew?
A. Play online games.
B. Play with a smart phone.
C. Study all the time.
D. Go in for outside activities.
2. What does Pink advise the gaming industry to do?
A. Pay attention to its profit.
B. Focus on kids’ health.
C. Be responsible for kids’ surroundings.
D. Persuade kids lo play more games.
3. What role do parents have according to the passage?
A. They keep hold of their phones.
B. They set examples for their kids.
C. They limit their kids’ time.
D. They blame kids for addiction.
B
Japan is known to have higher than average rates of stomach cancer. Recently, the town of Kaneyama in Yamagata Prefecture decided to get its 6, 000 residents (居民) tested.
However, the frozen urine samples (尿样) are not tested in conventional ways. Instead, Professor Masao Miyashita and his team are using them in a trial to determine if specially trained cancer-sniffing dogs can accurately detect the disease. Though the study is still in its early stages, Miyashita is thrilled with the results. He said, “In our research so far, cancer detection dogs have been able to find signs of cancer with an accuracy of nearly 100 percent.”
Researchers have known about the animals’ superior sensory skills for decades. However, their ability to detect cancer in humans came to light in 1989, after a dog sniffed out early-stage malignant melanoma (恶性黑色素瘤) on a patient’s leg in London. Since then, scientists from many countries have conducted studies to test dogs’ great skill at identifying cancer chemicals.
While most dogs can be trained for the task researchers say the best candidates are dogs that are precise, quiet, and perhaps even a little shy. The training process is similar to how dogs are taught to learn any trick — by rewarding them with treats! However, it takes much longer because the dogs have to learn to separate the “cancer scent (气味)”from the thousands of organic compounds (有机化合物) in the human body. Researchers begin by exposing the dogs to urine samples from people with cancer, people with other diseases, and patients with no health issues, Once the dogs are able to accurately identify cancer, they are further trained to detect particular kinds of cancer.
Successful as they may be, experts think dogs are unlikely to replace conventional tests. For one, it takes
about seven years and costs as much as $45,000 to train a single dog. Klaus Hackner, a researcher and physician who studies dogs detecting cancer in breath samples at Krems University Hospital in Austria, is also not convinced dogs can be relied upon alone. Patients, therefore, have to receive further tests to confirm if they have the disease.
4. What do we know about the cancer-sniffing dogs mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. They have done a great job.
B. They are trained in a special way.
C. They can easily learn to distinguish cancer.
D. They can be seen in many Japanese hospitals.
5. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?
A. Offer readers some advice.
B. Add some background information.
C. Summarize the previous paragraphs.
D. Introduce a new topic for discussion.
6. What kind of dog is suitable for the cancer-sniffing job?
A. Smart and brave.
B. Active and faithful.
C. Strong and patient.
D. Careful and peaceful.
7. What is Klaus Hackner’s opinion on cancer-sniffing dogs?
A. They should work as a team.
B. They need to receive more training.
C. They can replace doctors in detecting cancer.
D. They should be used together with traditional tests.
C
Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”
“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university's website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity (生产效率),” he said.
According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software toblocktheir employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That's not always a good idea.”
However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without.” he said.
8. What does the University of Melbourne study mainlyshow?
A. People who surf the Internet are good employees.
B. Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours.
C. The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.
D. Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.
9. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities?
A. Watching videos.
B. Reading online news.
C. Reading online novels.
D. Playing online games.
10. The underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4 means “________”.
A. stop
B. organize
C. protect
D. separate
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity.
B. Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity.
C. Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours.
D. People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.
D

Tencent's WeChat announced to offer payment solutions, marketing supports and even training for up to 50 million street vendors, with the end goal of digitally transforming them to increase their income.
Guangzhoucity partnered with WeChat this month to hold a live streaming shopping festival to improve sales of local produce. In attempts to promote various live streaming platforms, many tech CEOs also made their own live streamed e-commerce debuts（首次亮相）selling goods coming from all over the country.

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How much time do you spend sitting every day?___16___Imagine sitting for nearly one-third of your life -to what degree would your health be affected? According to research, if one sits for long periods of time, the risk of diseases like obesity, diabetes and cancer will be greatly increased. A study in Australia even found that by reducing our sitting time to three hours a day, our lifespan(寿命) could be lengthened by two years!___17___ Now ask yourself, “Where do I normally spend long periods of time sitting?”___18___So what can we do to change that? One solution is that our classroom furniture could be changed to allow ourselves more standing time. It might seem absurd, but standing to learn is definitely an idea worth achieving.
To put this idea into practice, we have come up with a new idea-the Two-in-one sitting-standing- desk. How does this new invention work? First, the desk has extendable(可延长)legs so that the height of the desktop can be adjusted according to students' needs.___19___That means students can easily switch between sitting and standing positions. Second, there are two swing bars at the bottom of the desk which allow students to exercise their legs when they feel restless.
Some people might worry that if students are allowed to stand in class, they will be easily distracted(分心) and move around. Yet research shows the opposite to be true. People tend to be more focused if they are allowed to work standing up.___20___It is for this reason that a pair of swing bars have been fixed to turn those restless moments into beneficial exercise without interrupting schoolwork.
If sitting is the new smoking, the Two-in-one standing desk is the way to go for a healthier and more effective classroom.
A. So it's not real hard to explain.
B. It also comes with a high chair.
C. Without doubt, that is at school.
D. Obviously standing is better than sitting.
E. Probably seven to eight hours, or evenmore.
F. Sometimes you need strength of mind to stand up.
G. Of course, it is unfair to ask students to remain ly still for hours.
