I’ve always loved singing but, until this summer, it was only in the shower.
I never thought I’d missed out on much until my children joined the school choir. As singing has become a bigger part of my children’s lives, I’ve s een their confidence grow. It’s a big thing to perform on stage, but soon this was something they could deal with easily. I had encouraged them to challenge themselves and they’d succeeded. As a mother, I thought: job done. What happened next threw me.
“Come and join the parents’ choir,” a friend suggested. I told her I couldn’t sing. “It’s not about the singing; it’s about the experience,” she said. “You should try it out.” That night I struggled to sleep. Every day, I encourage my children to push themselves out of their comfort zone; every day, I learn that the only way to get your children to behave in a certain way is by modeling that behavior yourself. Here I was doing the opposite. The next morning, I joined.
I felt like the awkward new girl the morning I walked into the practice room. An original score had been written to be sung in three parts, which others read like they were sentences on a page and burst into song. To me, it might well have been written in ancient Greek. I tried my best to follow the tune.
Standing on stage on the evening of our performance, I started trembling, but as soon as the music started, I calmed down. A sea of smiling faces encouraged me. Applause filled the hall and I was really excited. I realized that performing was
addictive.
I also realized that what I always told my children was true: unless you push yourself and are brave to try something new, you’ll miss out on so much that life has to offer.
24.Which of the following best describes the author’s children?
A. Imaginative.
B. Courageous.
C. Generous.
D. Independent.
25. Why did the author decide to join the parents’ choir?
A. She followed her friend’s example.
B. She was encouraged by her children.
C. She tried to achieve her dream of singing.
D. She hoped to set her children an example.
26. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 suggest?
A. The author had difficulty singing the song.
B. The author was unable to write music.
C. The author was fond of classical music.
D. The author could write in ancient Greek.
27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Practice makes perfect.
B. Confidence: the secret of success.
C. Challenges make life meaningful.
D. Opportunity favors a cautious mind.
C
While walking through some remote forest in Indonesia’s West Sumatra, some biologists claim to have spotted the world’s largest flower ever recorded.
The flower is a giant Rafflesia tuan-mudae, a species that only comes out for about seven days at the end of the plant’s lifespan. The record flower measured in at a diameter (直径) of 111 centimeters, which makes it larger than the previous record holder by 4 centimeters, also a Rafflesia tuan-mudae. “This is the largest Rafflesia tuan-mudae that has e ver been documented,” said Ade Putra at the Agam Conservation Agency in Sumatra.
The flower is characterized by its flesh-colored petals (花瓣) that are covered in white spots. That might not sound like the most attractive description, but it’s proper considering the smell this species is known to give off. Rafflesia tuan-mudae is a type of special flower, which smells like a dying body. Don’t let this fact lessen the glory of a find like this, however. What the flower lacks in fragrance makes up for its appealing biology.
The pungent smell is meant to attract flies, which are this flower’s main pollinators (传粉者). Interestingly, it’s still a mystery as to what type of animal distributes the tuan-mudae seeds. These plants also grow inside the root of a host plant for around nine months until suddenly showing themselves to the world with their giant smelly flowers.
They were named “Rafflesia” after a British colonist (殖民者), Sir Stamford Raffles, who was the first to officially identify one in the early 19th century. Hopefully for Raffles’ sake, it was named after him to honor the discovery, not because of the go od sir’s smell.
Luckily, it takes a special kind of scientists to run toward one of these flowers rather than away, but in this case the prize was worth the smell. Whatever its smell, it’s a special plant, and it’s encouraging that such rare natural wonder s can still find room to grow on our crowded planet.
28.What was the diameter of the previous record holder of the biggest flower?
A. 104 centimeters.
B. 107 centimeters.
C. 111 centimeters.
D. 115 centimeters.
29. What does the underlined word “pungent” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. Fragrant and sharp.
B. Relaxing and soft.
C. Strong and unpleasant.
D. Pleasant and attractive.
30. What is the main idea of the fifth paragraph?
A. How the flower was named.
B. Where the flower was found.
C. When the flower was found.
D. Why the flower was so special.
31. How does the author find the discovery?
A. Nervous.
B. Annoyed.
C. Fortunate.
D. Satisfied.
D
“Alexa, what’s 5 minus 3?” A 6-year-old boy recently asked that question in a video, which was popular on Twitter. Alexa, Amazon’s voice-started assistant, delivered a quick answer: 2.
It’s cute, but it raises a question that’s been on the minds of many parents and educators lately: How do vi rtual assistants like Alexa affect children’s learning experiences?
Clint Hill, an English teacher, says in his classrooms he often sees “children quietly talking into their phones and asking Google or other services to spell some complicated words that th ey don’t know.” But Hill says he doesn’t mind. “I struggle with spelling, and spellcheck on my word processing has been a lifesaver for me.” he says. “I think being able to use those technological aids is not hurting anybody,” Hill adds.
But some experts s ay it’s not just about learning basic math or spelling. “One of the best gifts we can give our children is doing that kind of problem-solving together,” says Diane Levin, a professor of applied human development. Levin says it’s important for children to l earn to struggle – even just a little – with challenges. “They will use those skills that they’re learning for all kinds of things that come along,” Levin says.
How much concern should parents have over Alexa and their children? Every new wave of technology, from calculators to TV sets, causes a panic about its effect on children, and nostalgia (怀旧) for the past, says Dimitri Christakis, an expert in child health, behavior and development.
But he says that a child watching television is having a completely passive experience. Because new technology is interactive, “it helps understand how the wor ld works,” Christakis says. “But while watching television, you play no role in the content,” Christakis says.
Still, he agrees that this debate is about much more than knowing what 5 minus 3 is. It’s also about developing the patience to solve problems. “That ability to
stay focused,” he says, “is one of the most important developmental skills that children acquire.”
32.What can be inferred from Hill’s words?
A. Technological aids are helpful.
B. His students don’t use their brains.
C. His student s aren’t focused in class.
D. Spelling is really difficult for small children.
33.What can we learn about technological aids in Levin’s opinion?
A. They fail to solve problems.
B. They give children challenges.
C. They present a threat to teacher at school.
D. They are harmful to children’s development.
34.Which of the following would Christakis agree with?
A. New technology affects children most.
B. New technology tends to cause worries.
C. Television has been a thing of the past.
D. Today’s parents are too concerned.
35.What does Christakis stress about children in the last paragraph?
A. Their ability to study technology.
B. Their ability to learn from the past.
C. Their ability to pay attention.
D. Their ability to interact with others.

Marine Layer is an American clothing company that has recently earned an impressive qualification. It is the first in the world to take old T-shirts and transform them into brand new ones, using 100% recycled materials. 36 The collection was launched on April 28 to much fanfare (炫耀) in the eco-fashion world.
Re-Spun shirts are made from old T-shirts that supporters have mailed to the company or dropped off in store. 37 Then they are cleaned using waterless technology, broken down, and woven into a colored cotton fiber. It is mixed with 50% recycled fiber to create the final yarn (纱).
38 Interestingly, Recover has been recycling fabrics since the 1940s, when people were looking for a solution to clothing shortages during World War II. The yarn is sent to Los Angeles for milling and sewing, from where the finished shirts are distributed to Marine Layer’s 41 stores and online shops.
39 Each shirt varies slightly in color. No water, chemicals, or dyes are used in production. Best of all, Marine Layer has no intention of stopping with its first Re-Spun collection. Customers are urged to keep sending in their old shirts using a prepaid mailer, and will get $5 credit for each one, up to a total of $25.
It’s exciting to see the great ways in which fashion companies are trying to reduce their environmental impact. This fabric recycling technology promises to revolutionize the industry and make good use of the 80 pounds of clothing that the average American throws away each year. 40
A. The technology deserves a lot.
B. The result is its Re-Spun collection.
