For fun, Larry bought one for himself. “He went out and flew it and decided to go back and add more fun to the event,” Kay remembered. Since then, she and her husband have loved kite flying. They own many kites and plan trips around flying them. They also organize a kite-flying event each winter in their hometown in Iowa. “Im at peace when Im flying a kite,” said Larry. Kite-flying has a long history as an activity for adults and children. The custom of flying a piece of cloth high in the sky began more than 2,000 years ago in China. Since then, kites have been used to do scientific experiments, power boats, take pictures from the air and much more. “Sometimes, the best flying conditions happen in winter on a frozen lake,” said Kay Day, who with her husband organizes the Color the Wind KiteFestival. It takes place every February on Clear Lake in Iowa. “The festival adds color to the winter sky and gives people a reason to go outside,” she added. The Days invite expert fliers to come and share their love for kites with locals and visitors. This year, more than 100 children attended a kite-making class. “Kiters are a really good group of people. Its a family,” said Larry. Kay says that the love for kites can spread to others easily. She says her two children, Dylan, and Cardin, started flying kites about three years ago after attending a kite festival they held. They like watching their parents fly kites happily together. The scene encourages them to fly kites themselves. “I do enjoy attending kite festivals,” Dylan said. The 13-year-old boy enjoys it when his kite moves freely through the sky.39. When Larry flew a kite 20 years ago, he decided to _. A. spread his love for kites to his family B. plan trips to fly kites C. make kite flying more enjoyable D. hold a kite festival 40. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Kite-flying activities for kite lovers. B. The history of kites. C. Methods of making a kite. D. The usage of kites.41.

What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Children are good at flying kites. B. People of all ages love flying kites. C. Parents interests can influence their kids. D. Parents skills should be passed on to kids. C People become addicted to many things. Some of these may be drugs, alcohol, and smoking, but also electronics. Electronics get you addicted not because of drugs like nicotine but because of something called dopamine(多巴胺). Dopamine is a chemical naturally produced in the body that helps control the brains reward and pleasure centers. It is released when you win something. You not only get dopamine from winning sports like football or tennis, but also get a small amount of dopamine when you hear a notification from your device, win something in a video game or even simply surf the web on your smartphone. Your body loves the feel of dopamine and tries to find more ways to get it with less effort, which can lead to addiction to electronics. We become addicted to various electronics. But among all of them, phones may not do too much harm to us physically. Its devices, such as televisions and computers that cause you to sit for too long without stretching or moving, which can result in a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (深静脉血栓). It can cause serious damage to our health. However, we can try to break away from addiction. We can make access to our devices a little more difficult, which can diminish the chances of us actually wanting to go and do that specific thing. For example, if you know you frequently use an app on your smartphone, you can put the app in certain far corner of your phone; therefore, it would take you a little extra time to get to it instead of just turning the phone on and having direct access to it. Besides, we can prevent physical problems by using a standing desk. This is basically a desk, but you have to stand at it instead of sitting on it. This can prevent a wide range of physical problems, including obesity, lower risk of heart disease, and so on. All in all, electronics probably already have you addicted. Thankfully, there are ways you can get out of this addiction. Its not a lost cause, and you can still get yourself healthy and out of addiction.43. When we play with electronics, the dopamine produced in the body_. A. is bad for our mental health B. causes addiction to electronics C. increases the chance of winning D. is in charge of our brains activities44. We can infer from Paragraph 3 that phones _. A. are harmless to our physical health B. do great harm to our mental health C. are no more addictive than other devices D. dont harm our body as much as other devices45. What does the underlined word “diminish” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Reduce. B. Ruin. C. Access. D. Seize.46. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 4? A. Advertise a new standing desk. B. Call on people not to use electronics. C. Advise people to use their apps wisely. D. Provide ways of getting rid of addiction to electronics. D Bitcoin and other so-called cryptocurrencies(加密货币) have been all over the news lately. Apparently, the idea of money thats not tied to a specific bank or a specific country is appealing to many. And more and more people show their interest in these cryptocurrencies. In the past, moneys makeup varied from place to place. Various objects have served as currency, including beads, ivory, and shells. In West Africa, bracelets (手镯) of bronze or copper considered to have great worth were used as cash, especially if the business was associated with the slave trade there. Throughout the colonial period when tobacco was planted greatly and brought big economic benefits, it was used in place of coins or paper bills in Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. Today, on Malaita, an island in the Pacific, a specific type of shell still serves as currency and some people there are even hoarding it, just like Bitcoin, convinced that one day, it will make them wealthy beyond imagination. Mary Bruno, a shop owner from the small town of Auki, on Malaita said, “one of darker shells might get you about two cans of tuna(金枪鱼), but one of red shells might get enough tuna to feed a big family for a long time”. Just like a place that creates coins, theres only one place on the island where the shells, which are polished and strung together to form 3-foot-long ropes, are made. The red, white, and black shells all come from Langa Langa Lagoon, where artificial islands were built by locals to escape from the war long ago. Once trapped on these islands, locals needed a currency to use among themselves, and so the shell currency was born. Just like cryptocurrencies, there are those who think the islanders are smart to invest in this type of money, which is reported to have risen in value over the last three decades. It might seem strange, but what is a pile of dollars? Its just a specially printed piece of paper that weve assigned value to-and probably less durable (耐用) over time than those shells.47. What does the author intend to tell us in Paragraph 1? A. A trend of currency. B. Peoples interest in Bitcoin. C. Banks control over currency. D. An effect of cryptocurrencies.48. The underlined word “hoarding” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by _. A. selling B. polishing C. collecting D. hiding 49. According to this passage, what determines the value of shells? A. Their color. B. Their shape. C. Their source D. Their weight.50. What is the authors attitude towards the islanders investing in shells? A. Doubtful. B. Objective. C Uncaring. D. Approving.第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Becoming an effective and efficient student is not something that happens overnight, but putting a few of these tips into daily practice can help you get more out of your study time.

If you are learning a new language, practice speaking with another person and surround yourself with language-immersionexperiences. 54 . We know learning isnt a perfect process. Sometimes, we forget the details of things that we have already learned. If you find yourself struggling to recall some information, research shows that youd better simply look up the correct answer, because that recalling may result in learning the “error state” instead of the correct response. Understand how you learn best. Another great strategy for improving your learning efficiency is to recognize your learning habits and styles. 55 . Then your learning efficiency can be improved greatly. A. Recalling results in the wrong answer.B. Look up answers rather than struggle to remember C. Next, find some ways to share what youve learned. D. You can apply it by sharing your newly learned skills.E. If it is a sport of athletic skill, perform the activity regularly.F.
