(A) Sneezing the American way
Hello, I’m Zheng Yishi from Shanghai. I’m 14 years old. I am a n Eighth-grader at Walsh Jesuit High School in Cleveland, Ohio, US. I like reading, traveling and music. I’m glad to share my experiences with you.
As an international student in the United States, I have truly felt the cultural differences between China and the United States.
I am staying with my homestay family (寄宿家庭). When I was in class, I sneezed (打喷嚏). About half of the class turned to me and said, “Bless you!” I felt strange and did not know what to do next. So I asked a classmate and he told me it is a custom in the US. You don’t need to do anything when oth ers say, “Bless you.”
He told me another funny thing. Once someone in the class sneezed six times continuously (连续地), so the others said “bless you” on and on. Everybody couldn’t stop laughing.
“Have a good day” and “have a nice weekend” can always be heard in the US. I learned it’s not so difficult to understand the customs here. As the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
43. When somebody sneezes, people in the US usually say, “”
A. What’s the matter?
B. Have a good day.
C. What’s wrong?
D. Bless you.
44. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph means that .
A. you should stick to(坚持) your own culture
B. you need to behave(表现) as people around you do
C. people in Rome are more polite
D. you should believe the people around you

It’s not easy to learn math well. Students need to remember many formulas and do lots of math exercises. Beginning this fall semester(学期), many students in the United Kingdom are going to learn math in the way Chinese students do.
In August, a whole set of Shanghai’s primary(小学) school math textbooks, Real Shanghai Maths《真正上海数学》, went on the UK’s book m arket. There are 36 books, including a Teacher Guide, Textbook and Pupil Practice Book for each grade (1-6), according to Xinhua. The books are translated word-for-word from the Chinese versions(版本). The only change is the price. The Chinese yuan become the British pound.
This is not the first time the UK has learned from China’s math instruction. Since 2014, the UK has invited many junior and primary school math teachers in Shanghai to teach in its schools. In 2015, the publishing house Collins Learning introduced the practice book One Lesson, One Exercise《一课一练》to Britain. There were 11 books for the 11 grades, from primary school to high school. This is because the UK doesn’t want their students to fall behind. In the 2012 Program for International Student Assessment(国际学生评估项目), Shanghai students were No 1 in math. British students, however, were No 26.
“This will help young people be prepared for further study,” said Nick Gibb, minister of Britain’s schools.
45. We can tell that students in the UK will use Real Shanghai Maths.
A. college
B. kindergarten(幼儿园)
C. primary
D. middle
46. What’s the difference between the Chinese textbooks and the English versions?
A. There are more exercises in the Chinese versions.
B. There are more formulas in the English versions.
C. British version will use pound instead of yuan.
D. There are no pictures in the Chinese versions.
47 . What does the word formulas in Paragraph 1 mean?
A. 数据
B. 公式
C.数字
D. 数学
48. Why does the UK want to learn from Chinese math instruction?
A. Because Chinese students all like math very much.
B. Because UK students fell behind in math.
C. Because parents in the UK prefer the Chinese way of teaching.
D. Because UK students are less hardworking than Chinese students.
（C）
I bet(打赌) you use memes (表情包) when talking to your friends on WeChat or QQ. And among the file formats (文件格式), maybe GIF is one of your favorites.
A GIF is usually a short funny video repeating only a few seconds. The GIF turned 30 this year, which makes it old in web history. That’s even two years older than the World Wide Web. Ever since the GIF was created(创造) in 1987, it has long been overlooked(忽视). Then smartphones and social media(媒体) have brought it back to our daily lives.
According to David McIntosh from the GIF search service Tenor, the GIF does a better job of sh owing people’s fe elings than short text messages do. “Things like ‘lol’ (laugh out loud) aren’t very expressive (有表现力的),” he told Wired.
The GIF is also a very small file format. This helped it become popular among cellphone users. Because of its populari ty, Oxford Dictionaries named “GIF” the word of the year in 2012. Last year, Facebook users sent more than 13 billion (十亿) GIFs, reported Sina News.
There are even search services specifically (专门) for GIFs, such as Tenor and Giphy. If you can’t find anyt hing you like there, just create your own GIF on apps like DSCO and Giphy Cam.
49. According to the first two paragraphs, a GIF is actually .
A. a small picture
B. a long text
C. a short video
D. a big file
50. When was the World Wide Web created?
A. In 1985.
B. In 1989.
C. In 1987.
D. In 2012.
51. What have smartphones and social media done to the GIF?
A. They made it less expressive.
B. They refused to use it.
C. They changed it into a language.
D. They made it popular.
52. Which of the following is NOT TRUE of the GIF?
A. It uses a lot of data(数据).
B. It shows feelings better than words.
C. It is funny and short.
D. It is a word in the Oxford Dictionary.
五、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分）
阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格限填一词)。

If you think you're too shy and want to be a little bit braver, try the following. You can make it.
There's no need to hide it. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they'll understand you better. This also helps you feel freer in talks.
When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. Remember that other people have feelings too and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
If you find it hard to start talks, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something good to you. Doesn't it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Get your attention(注意) elsewhere. Think more about ways to enjoy the party or the game. Don't waste(浪费) time worrying about your looks or whether (是否)people like you or not.
Each time after you say "hi" or smile at someone for the first time, say to yourself "I did it"! Or it could be something bigger, like buying yourself an ice cream.
Keep trying and one day you'll never be "shy" when you talk to others.
