With drawings and simple words, the step-by-step guide e 81 how to send messages, take pictures and make video calls. Zhang made the guide for his parents. “My parents are getting old. They need an easy way to learn how to use technology,” he said.Zhang’s experience is c82 nowadays. Worldwide, 40 percent of parents learn about new technologies, including computers, mobile Internet and social media, fromtheir children, according to a study from the International Communication Association in 2017.Parents u 83 to teach their kids about almost everything. Now for the first time, the teachers become the students, and the students turn into the teachers.The c 84 of the roles comes from the rapid development of society and technology, says Zhou Xiaohong, a sociology professor from Nanjing University. Zhou said the Internet and otherforms of media give children ways to get information b 85 from asking older generations. Therefore, in the age of information, it’s possible that children know more than their parents do.According to the China Internet Network Information Center, 56.7 percent of Internet users and67.2 percent of social media users in China are under the age of 30. The younger generationu 86 acts as a link between their family and the new environment. But when they teach theirparents new technologies, parents can connect to the new world by themselves, noted Zhou.In Zhang Ming’s eyes, teaching his parents about WeChat brings him c87 to his parents. “People can communicate more by using new technology. Why should we keep our parents out?” said Zhang.Keys:81. explained mon 83. used 84.change 85. besides 86. usually 87. closer2.黄浦区：【难度】☆☆☆C.

A 82 graduation, students come to realize whatthey have learned at school has not really prepared them for the next step.Increasingly, teachers are getting to know the idea of “learning from our failures.” If you’v failed at anything, you’ve certainly never t83 anything new. Exam grades are important and we84encourage all students to aim high and to do well. But they don’t msuccess.I once asked my students to consider the chef Gordon Ramsay, and how he became sosuccessful. They were surprised to find that he didn’t have a good performance at school and hedidn’t s85 become a great chef. In an interview, he explained that he worked long hours for verylittle money, learning everything he could. He took chances even if they seemed i 86 . He mademistakes but he cheered himself up and moved forward. His success didn’t come from grades, itcame from his character: courage, effort and confidence.We should develop social skills through the whole school as an important p 87 of learning.This is why there is a focus on performance, sport and other activities. These life skills will workhand-in-hand with knowledge to enable students to do well in their future life.Keys:81. alone 82.After 83.tried 84.mean 85.suddenly 86.impossible 87.part3.金山区：【难度】☆☆☆C.

)（14分）I still remember my first 10,000m race. That was an unforgettable experience. I was not good atrunning. I was not strong enough, either. Why did I take part in the race? That's because of myvolunteer work. When I was 14 years old, I volunteered to work atthe water station at a 10,000m race. My job was to pass out water tothe runners. I felt e 81 when I saw all the different kinds ofpeople pass by and take a cup of water hurriedly. Some ran past,some walked past and a few wheeled past. After seeing so many t82 of people do it, I thought maybe I could also do it. So the nextyear I signed up for the race.During the race, I jogged, I walked, I jogged and I walked. Sometimes I was even not sure i83 I could finish. Then came an important moment.At one point near the end, an old man ran past me, very, very fast. Therefore, I wasembarrassed because I was much younger than him, but I couldn’t keep up with him. I felt hopelessfor a second. But then I r 84 something. He was running his race and I was running my race.He had different abilities, experience, training and goals for himself. I had m 85 . Remember mygoal was only to finish.I learned something important at that moment. I turned my embarrassment into inspiration (鼓舞). I decided that I would not give up though many people ran past me. As I c 86 the finish line,I was proud of my success.In life we all have those moments when we compare ourselves with others. It’s only n87 . Don’t a llow those moments to weaken you.

T hat sort of beautifully stylish home may be n81 , but for a truly special place to live, why not choose a homeunlike any other in the neighbourhood? The unique(独一无二的)houses on these pages challenge people to reconsider what a home is s 82 to look like.Environmentally friendly homes are getting a lot of a 83 these days. Earthships, forexample, are unusual homes made from materials like mud, straw and reused wood. The designersof earthships combine these natural materials with recycled i 84 , such as bottles, cans and oldtyres. These homes show their belief that, when it comes to saving the environment, ‘if you aren’t part of the solution, you’re part of the problem.’Additionally many of these homes use wind or solar power. They are designed to collect andrecycle water, and the people who live in them often add a greenhouse in which to grow food. As aresult, if you live in an earthship, your monthly living costs will d 85 to almost zero. For peoplewho want to try one out, the Phoenix Earthship in the US is available as holiday accommodation(住宿).Shipping containers are now being reused to make a 86 type ofenvironmentally friendly home. A number of architects have started changing individual containersinto holiday homes. Alternatively they can be combined to make office blocks and blocks of flats,such as those Container City in London, England.With all of the examples of imaginative homes, it is clear that people no longer need to settle forordinary living spaces. One thing is sure: people living in homes that look as s 87 as these neverhave to give anyone their address. They can just say, ‘Look for the weird house. You will know itwhen you see it.’Keys:81. nice 82. supposed 83. attention 84. items 85. drop 86. another 87. strange5.闵行区：【难度】☆☆☆C.

Around 2012, teens started to spend their time muchdifferently from the generations before. I started to notice big differences in teens’ b___81___ and attitudes in the yearly survey of 11 million young people.A 2017 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iphone. For this reason, Icallthem iGen（iphone generation）.What makes iGen different?Growing up with a smart phone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives. They spend somuch time on the internet, texting friends and on social media, an average of about six hours per day,so they have less free time for everything else. That i___82___ going to parties, shopping at the mallor watching movies with their friends. These were o___83___ the favorite activities of most teens.But now iGen teens are taking part in these social activities at a lower rate than others.A link that should be noticedI wondered if these changes might be c___84___ to their deteriorating（退化）mental health. Sureenough, I found that teens who spend more time on screens are less happy and more disappointed.Meanwhile, a 2017 study asked some adults to give up Facebook for a week and others to continueusing it. Those who gave up Facebook felt happier, less l___85__ and less disappointed during theweek as they had more free time for social activities like meeting friends, watching movies, etc.What else is lost?Spending less time with friends means less time to develop social abilities. A 2016 study showedthat the sixth graders who spent just five days at a camp w___86___ using screens ended timebetter at reading expression on others ’ faces.That isn ’t to say that iGen teens don ’t have a___87___. They are physically safer and more tolerant （宽容）. They also seem to have a stronger work spirit and more realistic expectations.
