Through the years，people have worn jewelry for different 13 :to make themselves look beautiful，to protect them from bad things，and to14 how much money they have.In South Africa，men in the Ndebele tribe(部落)often gave their15 jewelry made of silver or gold rings. Ndebele women wore necklaces around their necks and bracelets around their arms. Rings were 16 worn on their legs. The rings showed wealth. Awoman with many rings had a( n) 17 husband. In the past，women only took the rings off whentheir husbands died. Today Ndebele women still wear the rings，but not all of the time.People in India have been wearing jewelry for more than 5,000 years. In the past，both menand women wore a lot of jewelry. Women wore as many as 50 bracelets at a time!Over time，men18 wearing so much jewelry，but for women jewelry continues to be very important.In India，jewelry means safety. If a family has trouble with money，they can always 19their jewelry. And，as with the Ndebele tribe，jewelry means wealth. Indian women can expect toreceive jewelry as gifts for each important life event，such as birth，marriage，and becoming amother.In ancient China，people wore jewelry not just to show wealth but also for 20 . They believedthat the jade(玉石)used in their jewelry was alive and that it could keep bad things away. ManyChinese people today still believe this，and some people only wear the bracelets on their left arms.13. A. reasons B. clothes C. places D. problems14. A. ask B. show C. guess D. explain15.

Over the years，teens have invented excellent things that solve problems and have changed the ways people dothings.Take fourteen-year-old Eliott Sarrey for example. He invented Bot2Karot，a gardening robot thatcan take care of a small vegetable garden. The robot is controlled by an app on a smartphone. Ithelps people grow and take care of vegetables. It also saves water and energy，and makes gardeningeasy for people who are very busy or have difficulty getting around.Brooke Martin is an animal lover who missed her dog when she was away. So she inventediCPooch when she was just twelve years old. The iCPooch lets pet owners check on their pets fromanywhere in the world using a smartphone. It also allows owners to use their smartphone cameras tovideo chat with their pets.Fourteen-year-old inventor Robert Saunt was tired of buying or borrowing different video-game controllers for each game console(操控器) . So he invented a controller called Game Blox. It can beused with four of the most popular game consoles. His invention will save players a lot of money andspace，and it will save 330 million kg of materials every year.Kids all over the world find ways to solve problems every day. Who knows?Maybe the next timeyou have a problem，you'll come up with the next amazing idea!21. If you have no time to take care of your vegetable garden，can help you.A. Bot2KarotB. iCPoochC. Game BloxD. Smartphone Cameras22. Brooke Martin invented iCPooch when she was .A. 4B. 10C. 12D. 1423. According to the passage，Robert Saunt .A. is an animal loverB. was tired of playing gamesC. invented a controllerD. helps with gardeningBParisian architect(建筑师)Paul Andreu has designed so many landmark buildings in China.Among his best known are the National Grand Theatre in Beijing，the Jinan Grand Theatre and Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Andreu is nearly 80 and he continues to develop projects in China. The world famous architect，writer and painter held his first art show last summer in Beijing where he sat down for this interview.How was it that you went from architecture to writing—and more recently to painting?I have a desire to create，for continuous renewal. While I can't say that I know everything about architecture，I no longer have much to prove or discover. For me，painting is just as important，creatively，but it's something you do alone in your workshop，with a piece of paper and a pot ofink—it's totally refreshing.Why did you wait so many years to start painting?It was a kind of need. I was tired off in my field and wanted to try something new and I tried toimprove this situation by writing. But writing is a very long process—it takes at least a year to write abook. Painting is faster. Being alone with yourself during the day，in the light，and then puttingyourself in a situation where you produce something of which you know nothing and for which no onehas asked—it's a kind of freedom you seldom have in life.What is your project in China right now?There's a project in the Zhuhai Macao area. The Chinese engineering and building companyZhuhai Da Heng Qin asked French architect Thomas Coldefy to think about the project，suggestingthat he work with an architect who's already known in China. He asked me if I'd be willing to dosome of the work. We'll present the project some time before December;the planned completion dateis in 2019.24. Paul Andreu has gone from architecture to painting because .A. he likes paper and inkB. he thinks painting is fasterC. he has a desire to createD. he has to prove that he is great25. Where is Paul Andreu's project in China now?A. In Beijing.B. In Jinan.C. In Shanghai Pudong.D. In the Zhuhai Macao area.26. What do you know about Paul Andreu from the passage?A. His achievements.B. His challenges.C. His worries.D. His habits.CAfter the holiday season，our guess is that you are tired from visiting the store and buying gifts.It is easy to get stuck，both spiritually and physically by having too much. This is why minimalismand living simply should be your resolution for 2018.Economic development results in a lot of consumerism(消费):get a good job，get a nice car，and settle into a beautiful house. But some people say that our lives could use a little lightening these days:We work and work and work to only buy and buy and buy—but does all that material wealthreally lead to our happiness?Are we filling our time with unnecessary things，when we should befilling our time with friends，value，and service?An article from the website，Becoming Minimalist，points out the problem with this cycle(循环) in the best way，“ Nobody really believes happiness is directly tied to the number of things we own.Yet almost all of us live like it. We get stuck in it. We work more hours than ever before，earn more income，but save less.”Minimalism isn't all about ridding(摆脱)consumerism and products from your life. Minimalismis about finding your own sense of self and focusing on the things you love. It is about creating a lifestyle that is focused on only those people and things that enrich you.These days，minimalistic living can come in many forms. We think the most practical form of minimalistic living for us is to follow our list:How You Can Live Lighter in 2018.Purge Your Closet:Take a day and clear out all of your drawers and closets. If somethingdoesn't have special meaning or adds no value to your life—give it away. Have only what youneed and what you can see.Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping. Give yourself a limit，whether itbe two weeks or six months，whether it be avoiding a certain mall or buying clothes. Then putyour self will to the test. After your allowed time，chances are you will realize all those extrablouses weren't worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control.Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV，cell phone，computer，etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of TV per week，or only 30 minutes of socialmedia per day. You'll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear outsome unnecessary noise from your life.Live to Your Goals:Find out what your life goals and values are. Then，see what may help youor stop you from achieving this goal. Cut out that which doesn't lead to your happiness andsuccess and add more of what does.Remember，a pared down lifestyle doesn't mean less success or less happiness. It representsyour freedom to focus on the things in life that really matter.27. The cycle “ people work and work only to buy and buy” shows .A. people get stuck physically and spirituallyB. people don't believe wealth leads to happinessC. people don't want to save moreD. people fall in love with buying28. To practise minimalistic living，you should .A. give away your drawers and closetsB. go to the shopping mall every six monthsC. have 30 minutes of social media per dayD. discover your life goals and values29. The words “ pared down”in the last paragraph probably mean “” .A. freeB. lightC. popularD. convenient30. Which of the following best explains the writer's opinion?A. It might take you a long time to wait for the “ right”thing.B. Clear out the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.C. Change yourself with the development of society.D. Freedom is more important than success.DA research study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music. You know that thrill(兴奋 )you get when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feelingwhen you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study，it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading，but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions aroundhow music，reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“ We decided we would do a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see how the brain reacted，”explains Adam Zeman，a scientist. “ The participants (参与者 )lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts，and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.”The texts ranged (涉及 )from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones，including the Highway Code，parts from novels，and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading?Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed，participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts，there was higher activity in brain areas related to pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says，“ it perfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature(文学 )and to music has quite a bit in common. So it doesn't seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That was one quite strong finding.”Introspection(内省 )There were more interesting findings. Reading poetry is often considered an activity thatrequires us to use the brain，but did the study find any truth of this?When the participants were reading poems，the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called the Default Network. “ These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we are resting，like thinking about what's happened to us recently，thinking about what's going to happen in the near future，about other people，and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetrythan with other texts，”explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could bethe subject of further research.ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman says，“ the study did support what we thought:reaction to literature was going to be a bit like the one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unanswered questions which we hope somebody will continue to ask.”31. What did the research try to find out?A. How music helps us read different kinds of texts.B. What kind of texts most people like while listening to music.C. Why reading different texts causes different reactions in emotion.D. Whether reading can cause similar emotional reaction like music does.32. What did the participants do in the study?A. They listened to music.B. They read different texts.C. They answered many questions.D. They compared brain activities.33. What can we learn from the study?A. The emotional texts work better for the research.B. Poetry reading can activate the Default Network.C. Music helps to bring pleasure and reward.D. People think about the past when resting.四､阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题｡(共 10分，每小题 2分 )Mom's Recipe for LifeI have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put，like thepumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on anyindex card，nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told methat she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitudecontinued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen，I was embarrassed(尴尬的 )every time my mother talked to strangers and offered asmile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应 )with a brightsmile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a littlelight into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeksI could not be there，she used this low cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip，Iasked her how it went.“ Ha!”she said，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one oldman，and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked.“ Of course，”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for aseat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day? I noticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，thewhole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers.Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them andstarted a conversation，most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I foundmyself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done thesmiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example.She'd given me a recipe for life.34. Where did the writer's mom grow up?35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?37. How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?38.

Even so，the recipe I treasure most is not on anyindex card，nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead，she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told methat she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitudecontinued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen，I was embarrassed(尴尬的)every time my mother talked to strangers and offered asmile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded(回应)with a brightsmile of their own. Some spoke，others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a littlelight into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeksI could not be there，she used this low cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip，Iasked her how it went.“ Ha!”she said，“ I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one oldman，and not one word was spoken.”I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit，Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“ Oh，are you talking with them now?”I asked.“ Of course，”she said. “ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for aseat，I gave them a big smile and I said，‘ Isn't it a wonderful day? I no ticed a few shy smiles.”Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long，thewhole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores，I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers.Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met，but once Mom smiled at them andstarted a conversation，most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I foundmyself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done thesmiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example.She'd given me a recipe for life.34. Where did the writer's mom grow up?35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?interested in cars， considerbooks about history of racing, race car drivers, or car design. Even if you havea short amount of time to choose books, you can determine interest by lookingat the front cover， flipping through(快速翻阅）the pages to have a quick look atphotos or illustrations, or reading the back cover or the chapter titles.C =Comprehend. It’s important to choose a book right for your level orability. How to choose such a book? If you read books at Level A, for example,you’d better not choose a book at Level D. If the book isn’t labeled(贴标签）with a level, you can open the book and choose a page——then you can decidewhether the book is at a right level for you by asking yourself；• Did I understand what I just read?• Do I remember what I read?• Was I able to read most of the words?This brings us to our final letter； K.K=Know the Words. Readers should be able to understand most of thewords on the page. The key is the ‘‘Five Finger Rule” ： Choose a book youwould like to read， look at a page in the middle and put one finger down forevery word you don’t understand. The “Five Finger Rule” shows a general ideaof the relationship between the number of unknown words and the difficultylevel of a book；•0 — 1 unknown word = too easy•2— 3 unknown words=just right•4~5 unknown words = too difficultYou want to know how to choose books right for you 一books that areenjoyable， fun and exciting. P. I. C. K. is all about giving you the tools to be astrong and confident reader.34. What does “P. I. C. K. ” stand for?35. According to the passage, what is one possible purpose for reading?36. What books does the writer advise you to read if you’re interested in cars?37. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?38. If you put three fingers down when you’re readinga page, what’s thedifficulty level of the book?34. It stands for Purpose,Interest,Comprehend,and Know the Words.35.For pleasure./Trying to learn something./Reading silently for oneself./Reading out loud for someone else.36.Books about history of racing,race car drivers,or car design.37. How to choose a book right for a reader's level or ability.38. The level of the book is just right.【海淀二模】四、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

【西城二模】DA research study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music.You know that thrill(兴奋)you get when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feeling when you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study，it seems the same thing can happenwhile you are reading，but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions around how music，reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“ We decided we would do a comparison bet ween four or five different kinds of texts to see howthe brain reacted，”explains Adam Zeman，a scientist. “ The participants (参与者)lay in an MRIscanner reading the texts，and then we compared brain activity for those five texts.”The texts ranged(涉及)from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones，including the Highway Code，parts from novels，and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading?Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed，participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts，there was higher activity in brain areas related to pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says，“ it perfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature(文学)and to music has quite a bit in common. So it doesn't seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That wasone quite strong finding.”Introspection(内省)There were more interesting findings. Reading poetry is often considered an activity that requires us to use the brain，but did the study find any truth of this?When the participants were reading poems，the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called theDefault Network. “ These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we are resting，like thinking about what's happened to us recently，thinking about what's going to happen inthe near future，about other people，and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetry than with other texts，”explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could bethe subject of further research.ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman says，“ the study did support what we thought:reaction to literature was going to be a bit likethe one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unansweredquestions which we hope somebody will continue to ask.”31. What did the research try to find out?A. How music helps us read different kinds of texts.B. What kind of texts most people like while listening to music.C. Why reading different texts causes different reactions in emotion.D. Whether reading can cause similar emotional reaction like music does.32. What did the participants do in the study?A. They listened to music.B. They read different texts.C. They answered many questions.D. They compared brain activities.33. What can we learn from the study?A. The emotional texts work better for the research.B. Poetry reading can activate the Default Network.C. Music helps to bring pleasure and reward.D. People think about the past when resting.31. D 32. B 33. B【东城二模】DIn July 2017, families in Marion County，Florida, got surprising newsabout the coming school year；Traditional homework will disappear, at least forprimary students.Last year，Dara, a fifth grader, had two or three hours of homework anight. “I had 12 math que stions and six or seven pages of work to do forreading，” she said. Now Dara’s new homework is only to read for 30 minutes.She enjoys having more time for activities like painting and playing video games.But her mom misses last year’s assignments. “The k ids knew that once theyfinished those worksheets, they were done，” she says. “Sometimes，gettingDara to sit down and read for 30 minutes is a challenge. ”Around the country，primary schools are experimenting with a no-homework policy(政策）.School leaders say the new policy is based on research. Studies have shown that homework does not improve grades or test scores in primary schools. Paula Fass is the author of The End of American Childhood. She says，“There’s been controversy over homework ever since schooling became a requirement. ?? Support for homework has gone up and down through the years. More than a century later, many still question the role that homework should have in kids’ lives.Harris Cooper, a professor, has studied more than 50 researches onhomework. In his view, homework has a positive effect on achievement. Theeffect gets larger as kids move through the grades. But even in the early grades，homework has a positive effect on simple skills. Examples include spelling andmath facts. But he warns that homework can have a negative effect as well. “Ifthere’s too much of it or if it’s too difficult, it can lead to frustration，” he says.“And that’s not a good thing. ’’Last year, Kelly Primary School in Holyoke, Massachusetts, eliminated(取消）homework. But this year，students in kindergarten through eighth grade havehomework once again. But they receive only one assignment per day. Theheadmaster explained that the school took a balanced way. “We want to buildresponsibility and structure，” she says. “But we don’t want to take away theimportant time that children have with their families or practising sports.??Kelly Primary School won’t be the only school to experiment with theno-homework policy. “One thing you can k now is that this is part of a longhistory of fight over homework，” says Fass. “And that can be expected tocontinue. ??30. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Dara enjoys reading for 30 minutes every day.B. Dara’s mother prefers the traditio nal homework.C. Dara complained she had too much homework last year.D. Dara’s mother is happy that Dara has more time for free activities.31. What does the word “controversy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Doubt.B. Challenge.C. Argument.D. Agreement.32. Harris Cooper may agree .A. schools should eliminate homeworkB. higher graders should have more homeworkC. homework can help lower graders with simple skillsD. homework has no effect on test scores in primary schools33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A.Homework；Is It Necessary to Eliminate It?B. Homework；Its History and Great ChangesC. Homework；Is It Beneficial to Students’ Achievement?D. Homework；Its Influences on Students and Their Families31.C32. C33. A【海淀二模】DFor as long as I can remember, I‟ve always looked up to my elder brother. No matter how old I am, I‟ve always seen myself copying every small thing that he does.I play the video games that he plays, I copy his hairstyle, and I eat the type of food that he eats.My brother is like a superhero in my eyes. He was a straight A student at high school as well as the captain of the school soccer team. It‟s been difficult trying to live up to the expectations that were set by my brother, but whether consciously (有意识地) or not, I‟ll always try to be like him. He motivates (激发) me like a rabbit motivates a wo lf. The wolf‟s goal is food, while mine is to be as outstanding as my brother.Younger brothers can influence the behavior of elder siblings (brothers and sisters) just as much as an elder brother can influence a younger sibling. I had a conversation with my brother about his experience growing up with me. He joked with me that it felt like the world punished him with having to deal with me. Yet he expressed that hewas grateful to me, because he understood I would take inspiration from him so he chose to be his best self. My brother and I have inspired each other to do the best we can.A researcher Birg Rabe has found a correlation (相关性) between a siblingrelationship where younger siblings‟ marks have improved because they havean elder sibling as their role model. “The younger siblings‟ marks rose by 4%.The effect was greater among siblings from poorer families, and the rise was 11%.” Having a sibling undoubtedly benefits children‟s school achievement.Not only can siblings influence each other‟s study, but they can positively benefit each other‟s social behavior as well.A study done by researchers in the Brigham Young University shows that children with sound or pleasant sibling relationships have learned important social skills, such as helping and being able to share with others. They‟ve also learned to deal with arguments and how to solve them.I bet anyone who has a sibling knows the struggle of having to argue for days with their sibling, but I also bet, that they learn important lessons from every one of their arguments.Even though you may hear many bad things about having a sibling, it actually has some unexpected benefits. Learn to enjoy all the benefits a sibling brings you, and be the best sibling you can.30. The writer always copies his elder brother because ______.A. he looks up to his brotherB. he wants to influence his brotherC. his brother is strict with himD. his brother plays video games well31. Birg Rabe finds having elder siblings as role models helps younger ones ______.A. make progress in their school achievementB. become more successful when they grow upC. get better marks than their brothers and sistersD. learn more important social skills than their friends32. The word “sound” in Paragraph 5 probably mean s “______”.A. specialB. lastingC. seriousD. healthy33. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. The New Hope that Siblings GiveB. The Great Benefits that Siblings BringC. The Necessary Support that Siblings OfferD. The Enjoyable Experiences that Siblings Share30. A 31. A 32. D 33. B【朝阳二模】DEvery time people make a new acquaintance (泛泛之交), be it at a job interview, in primary school, parents’ night, or at dinner with a friend’s family, first impressions (印象) decide whetherpeople consider each other likeable.“More than half of a first impression is affected (影响) by appearance—clothes, makeup, body language, gestures, and facial expressions,” said Mahena Stief, a business psychologist. But, it often makes a difference who the other person is. “I’m certain that when men judge women, appearance plays a greater role than when women judge other women,”said Lydia Maier, chairman of an association of color and style advisor.With the help of a mirror, a good female friend and a good male friend, on e’s own appearance can be completely valued. Some important questions are: What effect do I have on you? Why is that so? Do I want to have that effect or something completely different?The first place to look is in the closet (衣橱). “Good clothes are not contingent upon how much was spent on them. What’s important is that the clothes are clean, fit well, and match the personality of the person wearing them,”said Maier. Depending on the occasion, choose a timeless, careful, or stylish set of clothes for an introduction.“Generally speaking, the importance of fashion has increased in recent years,” said Professor Gerhard Amendt, director of an institute at the University of Bremen. He sees a danger, however, that the personality of a person could be lost behind a fashionable appearance.Well-being and inner balance are shown in body language such as good behaviors, open expressions, smooth movements, and help to cause a positive appearance. People who are comfortable with themselves appear balanced to others. “You can do a lot for your own well-being,”said Stief. “It begins with clearing away major dissatisfactory things in your life.”Relaxation exercises, yoga or weight training help the progress of balance. Exercising also helps people look healthy and energetic.Expressive body language and gestures, appealing facial expressions, and communication skills can be learned by attending management meetings or adult education courses. No one becomes a perfect talk master through these means, but they help people recognize how others interpret their outward behaviors. “A considerable part in appearance is self-confidence,”said Amendt. “Only those people who are sure of themselves, who know their own strengths, and feel certain of them come across as self-confident and convincing (使人信服的).”30. What does Mahena Stief think of first impressions?A. Friendship is built on the first impression.B. Women consider appearance more important.C. Appearance affects the first impression greatly.D. Appearance plays a great role in making decisions.31. The words “contingent upon” in Para graph 4 probably mean “______”.A. different fromB. filled withC. responsible forD. dependent on32.

She stares at themath problem in front of her desperatelytrying to remember how to solve it, but as she sits there herlong list of homework plays over in her head, and shebecomes overwhelmed. She bites her lip thinking and thinking.Then she hears a song on the radio. As she turns up the music,awave of calm spreads over her body, she closes her eyes and listens to the music. When the song ends, Clara‟s eyes open and she turns off the radio. She looks again at the troublesome question and sighs, “I remember how to do this now,” she says to herself. Then she finishes the problem, but this time calmer than before.According to NPR news, 45% of teens say they are stressed by school pressures, such as homework and grades. High school, and all of the honors and AP courses, can stress out teens like Clara to the point of exhaustion, but it doesn‟t have to be this way. Lots of students can use stress relievers to simmer down during their school day. Music can be one of those reliefs.When the body is stressed, it releases cortisol (释放皮质醇), a life sustaining adrenal hormone (肾上腺荷尔蒙) nicknamed “th e stress horm one”. By playing music, students stop the flow (流动) of cortisol released from their body, therefore returning to their normal, non-stressed self quicker than someone who didn‟t hear or play any music. When returning to this state, teens can think more clearly, with their stress gone.Music does not only calm the stressed mind, it develops creativity, as well as improving math and reading skills. A music class can help students who are stressed and give them an hour of relaxation during their day. This can help high schoolers have a clear mind to concentrate on their schoolwork. Adding music to a teen‟s day can help them become less stressed and finally help them with their courses,making a smarter generation.Now, I know you‟re thinking, “What about kids who find playing a musical instrument hard or boring? How would taking a music class help them?”Well, even though playing an instrument doesn‟t necessarily help all teens, it is agreed that there are very few teens who do not listen to music. This shows that all students, in their own way, like hearing music throughout their day. The music that they listen to calms them and gives them reassurance (保证) that they can make it through their schoolwork. That being said, all schools should have a required hour of …relaxation‟ time when high schoolers would listen to music, do easy homework, and calm themselves down after their long school day.Music helps kids in their education, providing them with a brighter future and ensuring that they take care of their generation, the generation before them, and the generations to come.30. The words “becomes overwhelmed”in Paragraph 1 probably mean “”.A. loses confidenceB. feels disappointedC. can not think clearlyD. isn‟t sure about the answers31. What can we learn from the passage?A. Music helps students to be more creative.B. Few students can relax themselves at school.C. Adding music to a teen‟s day stops them from studying.D. Music speeds up the flow of cortisol released from the body.32. According to Paragraph 5, we knowthat .A. taking a music class is hard and boringB. all teens listen to music in their own wayC. playing an instrument is necessary for all teensD. all schools have a required hour of …relaxation‟ time33. What is the best title of the passage?A. The Bright Future of MusicB. The W ay of Calming DownC. The Calming Power of MusicD. The W ay of Solving Problems30.C 31.A 32. B 33. C【石景山二模】DLanguage in crisisToday, almost 80% of the people in the world speak only 1% of its languages. Every 14 days a language dies. By 2100, half of the more than 7,000 languages spoken on Earth today may disappear.Why do languages die?Throughout history, the languages of dominant (统治的) groups have spread while the languages of native cultures have become extinct. This happens because of government language policies, or because the dominant language becomes more useful in everyday life.Why is language important?Studying different languages increases our understanding of how humans communicate. Language is also an important part of culture. Words that describe a particular cultural practice might not have meaning in another language.Native groups often have a deep understanding of local plants and animals because they have lived close to nature for thousands of years. We could discover important things, such as treatments for illness, by studying these languages. Many endangered (濒临灭绝的) languages aren’t written down. When the last speakers of a language die and their language becomes extinct, their stories, songs, and other important information are lost, too.Which languages are disappearing?Central South America has some of the world’s most endangered languages. The Kallawaya people speak a secret language that has details of thousands of medicinal plants. Today, fewer than 100 people speak it.In Central and Eastern Siberia, almost all of the native languages are endangered. Many Siberian languages now have only a few elderly speakers.Oklahoma has the highest number of native languages in the United States. One of these, Yuchi, may be unrelated to any other language in the world. However, during the early 20th century, government schools punished students who were heard speaking it. In 2010, only five elderly members of the Yuchi tribe could speak their native language.How are languages being saved?Native cultures around the world are using modern technology to help keep their endangered languages and cultures alive. Communities are creating dictionaries and libraries by using pictures, video, and audio to record the traditions of the last speakers of their language. If the younger generations don’t speak and understand the words and stories of their ancestors (祖先), the language will die. And when the language dies, part of the culture dies, too.30. The underlined word “extinct” probably means ______.A. selling outB. dying outC. speaking outD. putting out31. How are the native languages in Central Siberia and Oklahoma similar?A. Both of them are secret languages.B. Fewer people can speak them today.C. They are both unrelated to other languages.D. They are both spoken mainly by young people.32. To save a language, it is most important for______ to learn it.A. young peopleB. parentsC. scientistsD. dominant groups33. What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?A. It’s necessary to study more languages.B. It’s good for people to speak the same language.C. Preventing the loss of the world’s languages is important.D. Protecting languages is more important than protecting culture.30. B 31. B 32. A 33. C【昌平二模】DSnow monkeys have been discovered taking baths inman-made hot springs during winter in recent years. Now,researchers have found exactly why the monkeysdo this.The results are not surprising: The monkeys are cold. But the researchers also found that bathing in a hot-spring may lower the monkeys’ levels of stress.“This shows that, as in humans, the hot spring has a stress-reducing effect in snow monkeys,” said Rafaela Takeshita, the study lead writer. “This habit of hot spring bathing by snow monkeys showed how animals’ behavior can help fight against cold-c limate stress,” Takeshita said. Snow monkeys live in very cold place in the world. They are especially used to living in the cold; they grow thicker and longer fur in the winter.In 1963, a female Japanese snow monkey living in Jigokudani Monkey Park in Nagano, Japan, was seen bathing in an outdoor hot spring belonging to a nearby hotel, and other monkeys soon copied this behavior, the researchers said. As you might imagine, a group of monkeys bathing in a hot spring meant to hold people made people feel the hot spring dirty, so the park management built a new hot spring just for the monkeys. By 2003, about a third of the snow monkeys living in this park often bathed in the hot spring in the winter. The bathing monkeys are now already a popular tourist attraction.The bathing monkeys seemed to be bathing to stay warm, but scientists had no data to support this theory, they said. In the new study, the researchers collected data from 12 adult female monkeys in Jigokudani Monkey Park between April and June, and again from October to December. They examined how much time the monkeys spent in the hot spring, and also studied the da ta for “fecal glucocorticoid” ,a metbolite（代谢物）, related to the levels of stress in monkeys. The researchers found that female snow monkeys did use the hot spring more often inthe winter than in the spring, especially during colder weeks.The researchers also found that the dominant (统领) females spent the most time bathing because they need more energy to keep their position. They also have a higher level stress.The researchers concluded that hot-spring bathing becomes a tradition that provides physiological (生理的) benefits to the monkeys.30. What’s the best title for the passage?A. Snow monkeys in springB. Snow monkeys with a new habitC. Snow monkeys in winterD. Snow monkeys under heavy stress31. How does Rafaela think of snow monkeys’ behavior?A. It’s a natural tradition.B. It’s a tourist attraction.C. It helps them get used to the environment.D. It makes them feel the position is important.32. What do the experiments carried in two different periods show?A. The female snow monkeys enjoy bathing in winter more.B. The number of hot-spring bathing snow monkeys grows.C. The experiments are easier to carry out in winter months.D. The bathing habits of the dominant male snow monkeys.33. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?A. Some snow monkeys are copying humans’ behaviors.B. Snow monkeys are happy to live in very cold weather.C. Researchers found old snow monkeys enjoy hot springs.D. Hot-spring bathing helps lower human’s and animals’ stress.30-33 BCAD【房山二模】DWhen you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sport to play and fun to be had. But our parents probably advise us to find a job to make some pocket money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people's homes. I then turned to a Saturday job in a supermarket: putting the things on the shelves in order and working at the checkout.Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children take up part-time jobs.It's a taste of independence. Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and about managing your money. So, that's no bad thing!Some research has shown that not taking on a Saturday or holiday job could bedetrimental to a person later. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and S kills found that employer‟s(雇主)organizations criticized young adults because they were ill-prepared for full time work. And they were proved not having taken part-time work at school age. However, a recent report has shown that the number of school children in the UK with a part-time job has fallen by 20% in the past five years.So, does this mean that British teenagers are now more afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people think going out to work will influence their performance at school, and they are under more pressure now to study hard and get good exam results—and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that "Proper part-time work is a good way to help young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives." It's all about getting the right balance between doing part-time work and having enough time to study and rest.Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13-year-old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that "I enjoy my job because I'm making money and it helps my confidence speaking to people and socializing with people I work with." That seems like something worth getting up for on a Saturday morning. Did you do a part-time job when you were at school?30. According to the passage, teenagers probably prefer _________on the weekend.A．doing homework to having fun with friendsB．playing sports outside to doing homework at homeC．h aving fun with their parents to playing sports outsideD．playing sports to delivering newspapers to people's homes31. What does the word “detrimental” in Paragraph3 probably mean?A.Harmful.B. Impossible.C. Important.D. Worthy.32.According to the passage, Geoff Barton probably agrees that _______.A.Teenagers like taking part-time jobs more than full-time jobs.B.doing part-time jobs is more important than studying and resting.C.taking up part-time jobs benefits teenagers‟ future working lives.D.teenagers are under more pressure now to study hard and get good grades.33.What‟s the writer‟s main purpose in writing the passage?A.To call people‟s attention to the school childrenB. To criticize school children are out of controlC. To show school children dislike part-time jobsD. To encourage school children to take part-time jobs30. D 31. A 32. C 33.D。

As the storytellers told wonderful stories, the audience (观众) laughed. Somewhere in the middle of the third story, I suddenly felt a rush of excitement inside me. "I love stories!I want to be a 13 !"Telling stories meant standing on a stage (舞台) in bright lights and talking to strangers. And public speaking was my greatest 14 . I must be out of my mind! I thought to myself. My memory isn't that great. What if I forget my story? I don't want to fail! But this kind of self-talk had no effect on me. I had never feltso 15 before that moment.So when we knew there would be a storytelling workshop, I signed up with my husband. I needed his 16 , as I was too shy to enter a room full of strangers by myself.I decided to tell a story on stage soon after the workshop. I wanted to 17 myself. The main reason for me to do this crazy thing was that I was sixty-six years old, and my memory was getting worse.I didn't like memorizing things, but the opportunity to make people laugh or touch people's hearts with heartwarming stories meant more to me. All I had to do was to 18 my fears and keep going.The first night I was scheduled (安排) to go on stage, my hands were cold and my heart 19 as I walked toward the stage. I felt very nervous. After a month of hard studying, I had imprinted my twenty-minute story into my memory. Once on stage, I fell easily into my story. I got lots of cheers from the audience after I finished telling it.My adventure began. I told stories every month. I also started a story circle for beginners, and we shared stories and the learning process together. After telling stories for a few months, my memory noticeably improved. Allthese 20 in my life came about when I listened to my heart.13.A. reader B. writer C. listener D. storyteller14.A. fear B. curiosity C. excitement D. confusion15.A. proud B. alive C. responsible D. lucky16.A. advice B. trust C. support D. instruction17.A. challenge B. protect C. introduce D. relax18.A. feel B. fight C. hide D. express19.A. ached B. broke C. warmed D. raced20.A. plans B. honors C. changes D. tasksAWhen Chandra went into Books 'n' More, she noticed that there was no one else in the bookstore. The last four or five times she had stopped in here, she had also been the only customer.That night, Chandra told her family about the situation at the bookstore. Her brother Pete said, "The bookstore needs more people. How about starting a book club? People could meet in the store to discuss a book they've all read. If they buy it at the store, they'll receive a discount (折扣).""That's great!" Chandra said excitedly. "How about having some writers come and do a book signing? I even have an idea for the first writer. Mr. Fletcher, my math teacher, writes children's books. I'm sure he would be willing to help. I could put up fliers (传单) about the event at my school."The next day, Chandra shared her thoughts with Mrs. Lee, the bookstore owner. Mrs. Lee seemed unsure at first, but by the time Chandra finished, she was smiling. "I'll try your ideas, but I need some help. Someone will have to lead the book club discussions. Also, I'll need help advertising these events because I've never been good at such things."Chandra promised that she would help. She asked Mr. Fletcher if he would read and sign some of his books at Books 'n' More, and he happily agreed. A date was chosen, and Chandra threw herself into the preparations. She personally invited all her friends, the other teachers, and even the school headmaster.Finally, everything was ready for the big night. Mrs. Lee opened the event. "Before I introduce tonight's writer, I must thank a young lady named Chandra Phillips. This exciting evening was mostly managed by her. If she were a little older, I would have her as my advertising director," said Mrs. Lee. The crowd laughed and clapped (鼓掌). As Mr. Fletcher began to read from his latest book, Mrs. Lee took a seat next to Chandra."Could I really work here someday?" Chandra asked. Mrs. Lee nodded with a smile. Chandra tried to listen to Mr. Fletcher, but her mind swam with even more ways to help Books 'n' More be successful. After all, she had to protect her future job!21.To attract more people to the bookstore, Chandra suggested ________.A. offering customers discountsB. holding a book signing eventC. giving out fliers in the streetsD. advertising the bookstore online22.Which words can best describe Chandra?A. Careful and strict.B. Humorous and outgoing.C. Helpful and creative.D. Strong-minded and patient.23.In Paragraph 6, the crowd's laughter and clapping showed that they ________.A. recognized Chandra's effortsB. enjoyed Mr. Fletcher's readingC. felt happy for Mrs. Lee's successD. were surprised at Chandra's future roleBWhy do people fall for bad information? Scientists are trying to find that out. They are also trying to find out what we can do about it.People on social media sometimes share questionable claims (言论). Maybe they think the claim is surprising or interesting. But how the claim is presented can influence how many people believe it.People are likely to think that video is the most believable, noted S. Shyam Sundar. He works at Pennsylvania State University. Sundar and his team showed fake (假的) news stories to 180 people. One fake story claimed plastic was used to make rice. One version (版本) of the rice story was sent as text only. One version was a sound recording. The third had a video. It showed a man feeding plastic sheets into a machine. The tested people graded the video story as the most believable."Seeing is believing. People are more likely to accept misinformation when they see something in a video," Sundar said. That's especially true with the rise of deepfake technologies, which create fake but visually (视觉上) believable videos.Another big problem with fake news is how easily it gets into our brains. We often find claims believable that go along with the values we hold. Some people are unlikely to question things that fit with what they already believe. Why? Because our values can influence how we process information.So how can we slow the spread of fake news? It might just require getting people to stop and think. Two scientists, Gordon Pennycook and David Rand, worked together on a study. They showed both real news headlines and fake ones to 3,500 people. They tested these people's analytical reasoning (分析推理). People who scored higher on the analytical tests were less likely to mistake fake news headlines as being correct. In other words, lazy thinking helps drive someone's acceptance of fake news.When we recognize something untrue, we should debunk (揭穿) it. Researchers have some tips:· Check the information from trustworthy sources (来源). Look at different sources to see if they agree.· Once you correct misinformation with a true fact, explain why the misinformation is wrong.· Speak up as soon as possible when you see misinformation being shared on social media.Not paying attention can help fake news spread. Fortunately, there's a simple solution — stop shutting off our brains so much. By thinking carefully and sharing real information, we can help everyone stay informed with facts.24.The purpose of Sundar and his team's study is to find out ________.A. what ways can be used to spread newsB. how fake news spreads through different mediaC. what kind of people are likely to believe fake newsD. how the presentation of news influences its believability25.What can we learn from the passage?A. People are likely to believe information that matches their values.B. Debanking bad information depends heavily on technology.C. The brain has a weak ability to recognize misinformation.D. Lazy thinkers often slow down the spread of fake news.26.What is the passage mainly about?A. The causes of fake news and its bad influences.B. The spread of fake news and people's complaints about it.C. The reasons for believing fake news and ways to deal with it.D. The problems caused by fake news and the necessity to recognize it.CWe live in a society that judges our happiness by how much we have achieved and how successful we are. We are often told, "Work hard, become successful, and then you'll be happy." Is it true?Can Success Bring Happiness?Happiness helps you get success; it's not the other way around. Studies show happier people are more likely to be successful, but successful people are predictably not more cheerful. When you are happier, you feel more hopeful, thankful, and strong-minded, which are important for success. As a result, you have a better chance of getting better jobs and even building stronger relationships.Success can cause a short-term increase in happiness, but it cannot guarantee a lasting one. Shortly after achieving success, you return to your usual level of happiness. Moreover, depending on success for happiness often adds pressure, stress and negativity to every part of our lives. In conclusion, chasing (追求) happiness and well-being is better than running after success.△Positive psychology says that happiness is both how good we feel in the present moment and how good we feel when we look at our lived lives. Trying to lead a happy life is not always about refusing our negative emotions or acting as if we feel happy all the time. We all experience difficult periods, and it's natural for us to feel sad, angry, and other negative emotions. Happiness is about being able to embrace (接受) the good times, but it's also about dealing with the unavoidable bad times.Is Happiness Being Satisfied With What You Have?Does the thought of "not having enough" trouble you all the time? Are you always chasing something bigger and better? At the end of the day, that kind of chase can undoubtedly leave anyone empty and tired. And in that process, you are missing out on getting happiness from plenty of things you have right now. Instead of focusing on getting more, you need to focus on all you have in your life at the present moment. When you start sharing what you have, you find your happiness continuously increasing.Sure, you can work hard for success. But success won't necessarily lead to happiness. True happiness is in the climb itself. So, focus on being happy right now. Be proud of where you are in life and who you are. Be happy first, and embrace the journey to success. Then you'll be able to achieve more and perform better in many areas of your life, and you'll also enjoy the journey to your goals.27.The word "guarantee" in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to ________.A. influenceB. requireC. promiseD. prevent28.Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragraph 4?A. When Do You Feel Truly Happy?B. What Does Happiness Really Mean to You?C. How Can You Fully Embrace Your Happiness?D. Why Is Refusing Negative Emotions Key to Happiness?29.The writer probably agrees that ________.A. the more you achieve, the happier you will beB. one can't succeed without giving up some happinessC. chasing great achievements is necessary for happinessD. true happiness comes from enjoying the journey to success30.What is the writer's main purpose in writing this passage?A. To help people balance happiness and success.B. To explain why success brings happiness to people.C. To stress the importance of both happiness and success.D. To guide people to value happiness above achieving success.四、任务型阅读-简答：本大题共1小题，共10分。

He wasn stood in front of the class and introduced himself with 14 .Weeks passed and I realized Christopher was exactly likeme. We both were funny and liked sports! But Christopheralways wore a metal bracelet, which made him quite different. My classmates didn ’t 15 it.

I told them about his diabetes. I also suggested that every snack or sweet that we brought to class should be OK for Christopher.Months went by and Christopher was 19 than ever.

She couldn ’t fold and cutcleanly, and the gifts just looked sad under theChristmas tree as if someone had sat upon them. No onepraised Georgina ’s wrapping ， and they just tore off and could wrap gifts perfectly. It was almost a shame to open Jeannette ’s gifts sometimes because it would destroy her wrapping jobs.This year, Georgina had a new plan. She started with her brother. Heliked UFOs ， so she wrapped his gifts in aluminum foil(铝箔纸）to make them shiny. They looked really nice reflecting the lights of the Christmas tree.For her perfect sister, Jeannette, it would be hard to make things perfectenough, because she was very picky. To make fun of this, all of her gifts were wrapped in pink and red paper, and small mirrors hung from the gifts, so she could see herself when she was opening her gifts. It was a fun idea.Dad loves reading humorous stories in newspapers, so Georgina boughtsome newspapers and covered his gifts with funny stories. He would surelylaugh as he opened his gifts.Mom was so hard-working but managed to present herself at her best. Itwas hard to figure out her gift-wrapping. Finally, Georgina decided to wrap thegifts up in an apron(围裙）.She was done, and she couldn’t wait to see their reactions(反应）！The next morning, everyone was pleasantly surprised about howthoughtful and cool her wrapping job was. Even perfect Jeannette was amazed，and very impressed. Everyone thanked her, and they probably liked thewrapping better than the gifts inside. They had a wonderful time together, andthat was what really counted.24. Who usually wrapped gifts best?A. Georgina’s momB. Georgina’s dad.C. Georgina’s brother.D. Georgina’s sister.25.

If students don’t pass a test, they get a different kind of grade “Not Yet” instead of “Failed”. In her TED presentation The Power of Believing You Can Improve, Carol Dweck, a psychologist(心理学家），explains the power of “Not Yet”： If you get a failing grade，you think you’re nothing. But if you get the grade “Not Yet”，you understand that you’re on the way to the future.In one study led by Dweck, she wanted to see how children dealt with challenges and difficulties. She gave l0-year-old children problems that werea bit too hard for them. “Some of them behaved in a surprisingly positive way，’’explained Dweck. “They said things like ‘1 love a challenge" or ‘1 think I’velearned something from thi s. These children had a “growth mindset”. They understood that their abilities could be developed. They didn’t run from error(失误）；they learned from it.But other children felt it was terrible to make an error. They felt their intelligence(才智）had been used up. These children had a “fixed mindset”.They didn’t believe they could do anything to improve the situation. In thefollow-up studies, Dweck learned these children were more likely to cheat.They looked for someone who did worse than they did so they could feel better about themselves. The children with a fixed mindset were operating from the “Now”，however, the children with a growth mindset were operating from the“Not Yet”.We all have things we want to improve. The problem, however, is few ofus believe we can. We believe we’re not smart, or we don’t have enough time.We believe we can’t persist (坚持）in the face of difficulties or learn fromcriticism(批评）.It’s a result of a fixed mindset. But the wonderful reality is wecan move from a fixed mindset to a growth mindset once we know how.First, believe you can change, now. Not tomorrow, next week, nextmonth, or next year, but now.Next, for every negative(负面的）thought, write down a positive answer.So when your self-talk says，“I tried running before and gave up after a week. ”，you can reply, “That’s because I didn’t have a carefully designed plan. Now Ihave one and I’m going to stick to it. ’’Developing a growth mindset takes time and effort, but over time, with enough practice, you’ll operate less from the “Now” and more from the “Not Yet”.27. Why does the school in Chicago use “Not Yet” instead of “Failed” to gradestudents?A. To keep students from losing confidence.B. To help students realize their weak points.C. To advise students to take the test a second time.D. To make students understand their future is uncertain.28. Which of the following statements shows that the person has a “growthmindset”？A. “I failed in the task. I was nothing. ’’B. “I can’t stick to taking exercise. I’m too busy. ”C. “I know math is interesting but I am not smart for it. ”D. “I didn’t win the competition but I learned a lot from it. ”29. What can we learn from the passage?A. Most people believe they can improve themselves.B. Dweck did the study to help children get better grades.C. Some children cheated in the study and were punished.D. People can follow some ways to develop a growth mindset.DIn July 2017, families in Marion County， Florida, got surprising newsabout the coming school year； Traditional homework will disappear, at least for primary students.Last year， Dara, a fifth grader, had two or three hours of homework anight. “I had 12 math questions and six or seven pages of work to do for reading，” she said. Now Dara’s new homework is only to read for 30 minutes.She enjoys having more time for activities like painting and playing video games.But her mom misses last year’s assignments. “The kids knew that once they finished those worksheets, they were done，” she says. “Sometimes， gettingDara to sit down and read for 30 minutes is a challenge. ”Around the country， primary schools are experimenting with a no-homework policy(政策）.School leaders say the new policy is based on research. Studies have shown that homework does not improve grades or test scores in primary schools. Paula Fass is the author of The End of American Childhood. She says，“There’s been controversy over homework ever since schooling became a requirement. ?? Support for homework has gone up and down through the years. More than a century later, many still question the role that homework should have in kids’ lives.Harris Cooper, a professor, has studied more than 50 researches on homework. In his view, homework has a positive effect on achievement. Theeffect gets larger as kids move through the grades. But even in the early grades，homework has a positive effect on simple skills. Examples include spelling andmath facts. But he warns that homework can have a negative effect as well. “Ifthere’s too much of it or if it’s too difficult, it can lead to frustration，” he says. “And that’s not a good thing. ’’Last year, Kelly Primary School in Holyoke, Massachusetts, eliminated(取消）homework. But this year，students in kindergarten through eighth grade have homework once again. But they receive only one assignment per day. The headmaster explained that the school took a balanced way. “We want to build responsibility and structure，” she says. “But we don’t want to take away the important time that children have with their families or practising sports.??Kelly Primary School won’t be the only school to experiment with theno-homework policy. “One thing you can know is that this is part of a longhistory of fight over homework，” says Fass. “And that can be expected to continue. ??30. What can we learn from the second paragraph?A. Dara enjoys reading for 30 minutes every day.B. Dara’s mother prefers the traditional homework.C. Dara complained she had too much homework last year.D. Dara’s mother is happy that Dara has more time for free activities.31. What does the word “controve rsy” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Doubt.B. Challenge.C. Argument.D. Agreement.32. Harris Cooper may agree .A. schools should eliminate homeworkB. higher graders should have more homeworkC. homework can help lower graders with simple skillsD. homework has no effect on test scores in primary schools33.
