A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (轻蔑).
“You have no flyi ng skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, I don’t think you can do it! Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”
One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge. The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.
Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so tired that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle（挣扎）to keep himself from falling into the water.
The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? “
“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (自大) ! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life...”
The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.
48. What’s the correct order of the following events?

B. Flying skills were useless.
C. The swan saved the crow because they were good friends.
D. The swan was better at long-distance (长距离的) flying than the crow.

Stonehenge, a rock circle, is not only one of Britain ’s most famous
places but also one of its greatest mysteries(谜). Every year it receives
more than 750,000 visitors. People like to go to this place especially in
June as they want to see the sun rising on the longest day of the year.
For many years, historians(历史学家) believed Stonehenge was a
temple where ancient leaders tried to communicate with the gods.
However, historian Paul Stoker thinks this can ’t be true because
Stonehenge was built so many centuries ago. “The leaders arrived in England much later,” he points
out.
Another popular idea is that Stonehenge might be a kind of calendar. The large stones were put
together in a certain way. On midsummer ’s morning, the sun shines directly into the center of the stones.
Other people believe the stones have a medical purpose. They think the stones can prevent illness and
keep people healthy. “As you walk there, you can feel the energy from your feet move up your body,”
said one visitor. No one is sure what Stonehenge was used for, but most agree that the position of the
stones must be for a special purpose. Some think it might be a burial(埋葬) place or a place to
remember ancestors(祖先). Others think it was built to celebrate a victory over an enemy.
Stonehenge was built slowly over a long period of time. Most historians believe it must be almost
5,000 years old. One of the greatest mysteries is how it was built because the stones are so big and
heavy. In 2001, a group of English volunteers tried to build another Stonehenge, but they couldn ’t. “We
don ’t really know who built Stonehenge,” says Paul Stoker. “And perhaps we might never know, but we
do know they must have been hard-working — and great planners!”
51. What do most people think was Stonehenge built for?
A. Ancient leaders built it a temple to communicate with the gods.
B. It might be a kind of calendar to tell people the summertime.
C. It can prevent illness and make people feel energetic.
D. It must be for a special purpose because of the position of the stones.
52. What aren ’t people interested in about Stonehenge?
A. Where it was built.
B. Who built it.
C. When it was built.
D. Why it was built.
53. What does Paul Stoker mean by “we do know they must have been hard-working — and
great planners ”?
A. He has known who built Stonehenge.
B. He thinks Stonehenge is really a great mystery.
C. He believes he will find out who built Stonehenge.
D. He encourages volunteers to build another Stonehenge.

One day, I took an underground to work, I saw something that made me very sad. On the
tube( underground in London), a mother kept looking at her phone screen and playing a game with her
daughter sitting beside her. The little girl, about 5 years old, was talking to her mother about her day,
repeating the next stop's name cheerfully, praising her mother's long nails--trying to catch her mother's
attention. Her mother just nodded and answered "Mm, hm" with her eyes glued to the screen, busy
passing the levels of the game. I watched the girl give a final try to at least get her mum to look at her,
but it was no use. Then the little girl turned silent. It was a shame the mother didn't notice that.
It broke my heart and got me wondering--what kind of game would make the mother forget she has
the most beautiful thing in the world, the human she created, the person she loves with all her heart?
What it meant when she couldn't look into her daughter's eyes and even stop to listen to the girl?
Some parents are almost like the teenagers, always on their phones with mindless games or going
through Facebook. Perhaps parents have many things to deal with, but sometimes they are everything to
their kids.
This is not a isolated example. I've seen too many such examples. I might not be a parent myself,
and probably still have a long way before becoming one, but I know what I saw isn't right.
The scene used to be seen among teenagers very often when parents complained(抱怨) how their
children were crazy about their mobile phones. Look how the situation has changed! The parents have
become "technology slaves"(奴隶), that is to say, they can't control themselves while using mobile
phones. Now some middle-aged parents hold the best iPhones or Samsung phones, which
are

probably the only two brands they know. They are playing the simple games with so expensive mobile phones. I'm uncertain whether to laugh or to cry. But my hope is that this storm passes.
54 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The girl failed to catch her mother's attention.
B. The mother felt sorry after her daughter turned silent.
C. The writer has much experience about being a parent.
D. Middle-aged parents know many brands of mobile phones.
55. The underlined word "isolated" in Paragraph 4 means____________ .
A. spreading fast
B. happening once
C. increasing quickly
D. appearing suddenly
56. In the passage, the writer mainly wants to express_____________ .
A. the worries that children are crazy about mobile phones
B. the happiness that parents are now able to use modern technology
C. the sadness that the best smart phones cost parents too much money
D. the hope that parents use new technology like smart phones properly
57. What's the best title of the passage?
A. Middle-aged parents
B. A scene on the tube
C. Technology slaves
D. Mindless phone games
