15、What do people drink in Western countries? They drink coffee, of course. Tea is the drink of us Chinese. Think again. In the West, tea is seeing to be cool again.
In Western countries like the UK, coffee used to be the fashionable drink. Jenny Northam, a 28-year-old English woman, remembers that ten years ago tea was unfashionable. “At that time young people didn’t like tea. We thought drinking tea was uncool and old-fashioned. Tea was____something we only drank when visiting grandparents.”
Several years ago US____Madon na, who lived in Britain, published a children’s book____called The English Roses. She launched the book with a tea party. Since Madonna is the “Queen of Cool”, she took a big part in making tea fashionable. The British tradition of afternoon tea was fashionable again.
In Britain, hotels accept bookings (预定) for afternoon tea weeks in advance. The trend (趋向) had also taken off in the US. In New Y ork and Los Angeles, more and more cafes are serving tea.
The tea craze is not only down to Madonna, of course. People drink tea because they connect it with the idea of living
life at a slower pace.

16、Chinese buyers used to prize foreign brands, thinking that products made by American or European companies are of higher quality(质量) than Chinese ones. Increasingly, that’s no longer the case.
Chinese people born before 1985 generally think that foreign brands are better than Chinese ones, billionaire William Li told Business Insider during a recent interview on CCTV 9. But for who were born after 1985, it is a different picture.
“When I first went to the United Kingdom in 1997, I th ought that the difference between China and Europe was quite big,” Li said. “But for those born in the 1990s, when they visit Europe or the US, they do not think there is a big difference.”
The change in thinking among Chinese buyers is showing up in many markets in China where western companies used to control. A study by Credit Suisse published in March found that young Chinese buyers are increasingly showing a home brand bias.”
More than 90% of young Chinese buyers would prefer to buy home appliance brands, according to the study. Meanwhile, home companies producing food, drinks, or personal care products increased their share of the market by 3, 3% over the last ten years to nearly 70%.
“Chinese buyers, especially the younger ones, don’t just believe th at foreign brands are better. Right now, Chinese buyers think China is good and ‘Made in China’ is not bad at all,” Charlie Chen, head of China buyer research at Credit Suisse, told South China Morning Post in March.
The Chinese smartphone market is controlled by home companies—Huawei, Oppo, Vivo, and Xiaomi. Apple is the only foreign brand in the top five, but it has lost large ground to the home brands in recent years. Its market share is believed to be down to 37% from a 2015 high of 54%.
1．What is this passage mainly about?
A．The quality of ‘ Made in China’.
B．The change in Chinese buyers’ thinking.
C．Chinese products in the eye of foreigner.
D．Difference between older and younger Chinese buyers.
2．Which of the following is true according to the text?
A．More and more foreigners go to buy Chinese products.
B．Foreign products are more expensive than Chinese ones.
C．More and more Chinese buyers prefer Chinese products.
D．Older Chinese people don’t like foreign products any more.
3．Which fact be st explains “home brand bias”?
A．Apple had a market share of 54% in 2015.
B．More than 90% of young Chinese buyers prefer home brands.
C．Chinese people born before 1985 think that foreign brands are better.
D．William Li found a big difference between China and Europe in 1997.
4．Who did most of the research for this report?
A．Credit Suisse. B．CCTV 9.
C．South China Morning Post. D．Business Insider.
5．What’s the best title for this passage?
A．Chinese products get more popular at home
B．Y oung Chinese are crazy for foreign brands
C．‘Made in China’ is welcomed all over the world
D．Apple has lost large ground to Huawei in China

17、What is language for? Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning long lists of words. That’s wrong! Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely.
Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can’t speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of m aking mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too. Bernard Shaw once wrote, “Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule, it’s no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right.
People not only make history, but also they make languages. But they can only make their own language. They can’t create another language. So Chinese students should pay attention to the grammar, but they shouldn't overdo it. They should put communication first.
1．What is language for?
A．For practising grammar rules. B．For learning lists of words.
C．For the exchange of ideas and information. D．All above.
2．Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ________.
A．never makes mistakes B．hardly makes mistakes
C．can’t avoid making mis takes D．always makes mistakes
3．“Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” This sentence means that ________.
A．foreigners speak correct English
B．foreigners speak incorrect English
C．foreigners speak English just following the grammar rules
D．foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
4．If too many native speakers break a rule, _______.
A．what they use will become right B．they are against the law
C．they should say sorry to others D．they will become heroes
5．What is best title for the passage?
A．Making languages B．Grammar and Vocabulary
C．Communication first D．Native speakers’ mistakes

18、阅读下列短文，根据短文内容，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选择最佳选项。

Health officials in Canada are very busy these days. They are placing chickens at fixed points all along their 2,500 km border (边境) with the United States of America.
It’s not a joke, nor have the Canadians gone mad. They are using these chickens to see if the West Nile virus (病毒) is still around. The virus infects birds, so the chickens have a chance of catching the virus and fall ill. The West Nile virus is spread among humans. It killed seven people in New York last year.
Countries around the world are realizing that it may just be possible to stop certain kinds of people from entering their land. However, it is very difficult to stop viruses traveling from one end of the earth to another. When they travel to new places, they get used to the environment very easily and sometimes start destroying the local plant and animal life. These biological polluters are called smart polluters.
These smart polluters can be carried across borders of countries unknowingly. Just as we humans are travelling across the world more often than earlier, these biological polluters have also started journey much more. They slide into airplanes through their wheels. They dig into objects that travelers may be carrying from one country to another. There are some good examples of how these polluters work. The water hyacinth (水葫芦) of South America is blocking lakes in China and Africa. Tree snakes from Papua New Guinea are busy eating up some birds in the country of Guam, which breaks its natural balance.
That’s why the customs (海关) officials in many foreign countries prevent people from bringing in a small plant, or an object made of wood that is in its natural form. The customs officials have these rules because these varieties (多样性) of plants are special to certain places. The plants have the power to spread new illnesses among native plants and animals. Biological polluters always create problems in places where they do not belong. They could be special varieties of plants, bugs or even animals.
1．Why are Canadian officials placing chickens along the border?
A．To help clean up the border.
B．To see if the virus is still around.
C．To protect the chickens from falling ill.
D．To make sure that the birds can find food.
2．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．People find it difficult to travel from one place to another.
B．Plants always create problems in places where they belong.
C．Biological polluters may destroy the local plant and animal life.
D．Viruses spend a long time getting used to the local environment.
3．Customs officials in many countries prevent people from bringing in ____.
A．chocolates B．shoes
C．pictures D．plants
4．What is the best title for the passage?
A．Land Pollution B．The West Nile Virus
C．Smart Polluters D．The Water Hyacinth

Everyone has only one life，we should treasure our lives．But how can we protect ourselves？
Here are some suggestions．
On the one hand，we should realize the importance of safety and know what to do．First，when we go out，we must follow traffic rules．If we walk，we must use sidewalks and mustn't run a red light；If we ride bikes，we must ride along the right side and shouldn't carry others；Second，we should develop a healthy eating habits．Eat regular meals every day and try not to eat junk food or eat less．When food smells bad，don't eat it．Third，when we play sports or games，be careful not to hurt ourselves．Fourth，we mustn't swim in rivers without our parents or other adults around．
On the other hand，we should learn to protect ourselves，which is one of the most important living skills．We must be careful when making friends especially online．Some persons online are not honest．They are dangerous，so we must keep away from them．If we happen to have trouble，we should keep calm and remember to ask our parents，teachers or police for help so that we can protect ourselves from danger or being hurt．
In a word，we should try our best to protect ourselves and value our lives．
That's all．Thank you !。
