A. 5 B. 10 C. 45 D. 15 BMy mother once was a follower of traditional methods when it came to anything. She cooked traditional food, liked dressing up traditionally and thus was fond of traditional way of shopping. She loved going to the market and going from one shop to another to find out what suited her best. She could walk miles when it came to shopping along with her friends. She was familiar with all the local markets and shops and by now knows very well where she can get best discounts and material.However, now she begins to feel her age and gets tired when she goes out in the market. So one day I decided to introduce a new shop to her, a shop that is much bigger than her usual markets and where she gets better discounts. Yes, I am talking about the online gift stores. She has basic knowledge of computers and can operate a laptop. Initially (起初) she was doubtful about shopping from these online gift shops and wasnt too sure about the quality of the products.One fine day I decided to get some branded things for her first so that she could build trust in these shops. I ordered a Timex watch for her along with a Sisley handbag. She never bought things online but when they were delivered as a gift, she jumped for joy. She could not believe that I had ordered these gifts for her despite her being not very positive about online shops. However, after she saw both the products, she believed that these online gift shops would send the promised brand and products. She loved her new watch and the handbag.After this incident she ordered a gift for her friends wedding anniversary. She chose a gift basket that could be made to her requirements. They sent a beautifully decorated basket with fine wines and chocolates. The basket was so carefully decorated that it immediately became her friends favorite gift. Since then my mother has been often shopping online.25. From the first paragraph, we learn that the authors mother_.A. is kind and very humorousB. always leads a poor lifeC. lived in a traditional wayD. really hated shopping very much26. Why did the author decide to introduce a new shop to his mother?A. The new shop is very big and special.B. She wants to get best discounts from the new shop.C. She is too old to go to the market as before.D. The goods in the new shop are very cheap.27. What was the authors mothers attitude to online shopping at first?A. She thought it was convenient.B. She doubted the quality of online goods.C. She thought online goods were cheap.D. She thought online goods were second-hand.28. We can learn form this passage that _.A. the authors mother likes going shopping aloneB. the Timex watch and the Sisley handbag are poor qualityC. the authors mother is fond of chatting online now D. the authors mother was satisfied with the gift basketCSure, you talk to your parents, but what if you need to really talk? Maybe you have a problem you cant solve alone, or it could be that you want to feel closer to Mom and Dad.Its easy to say Hi, Mom or Dad, can you pass the potatoes?, but it can be harder to start a discussion about tougher topics. When you were younger, it probably felt easy to tell your parents about your trouble. Even though youre older now, its still perfectly OK to believe in your parents. In fact, it can help a lot.So why does it seem so uncomfortable at times? Why is it hard to bring up the important stuff? Sometimes kids dont speak up because they dont want to feel embarrassed. Lets face ittalking about personal stuff can make you feel embarrassed. But remember, your parents know you pretty well, and they were your age once, too! So dont let a little embarrassment stop you. Its OK to go ahead and share the personal stuff.Other times, kids might not want to make their parents anxious or upset. As you explain your problem, your mom might look sad or your dad might look worried. But thats OK. Your mom and dad can deal with knowing about your problem, big or small. That look on their face just means they care, and they feel for you. Thats what families dowe feel for the people we love.Sometimes, kids dont bring up a problem because they just dont want to think about it. They hope it will just go away. When meeting a problem, they will likely choose not to face it or just keep it for themselves. But running away from a problem hardly ever solves it. And bottling up your feelings can make you feel stressed.Talking things over with a parent can help you feel less stressed. Together, you can think of ways to solve the problem and make you feel better. Just knowing your parent understands and cares about what youre going through can reduce your stress a lot.29. Some kids dont want to share their problems with parents because they_A. believe they can solve the problems themselvesB. are afraid their parents may know their secretsC. dont think their parents will understand themD. dont want to make themselves embarrassed30. What is the advantage of talking with parents about your problems?A. It makes your problems less difficult. B. It improves the family relationship.C. It helps a lot to reduce pressure. D. It improves your ability to solve problems.31. What might be the title of the passage?A. Lets talk to each other B. When you need to talk to your parentsC. Why you dont want a talk D. Come and talk to your parents DWere dinosaurs (恐龙) warm-blooded or cold-blooded? According to a new study, scientists have found that they were somewhere in the middle. This new study shows that dinosaurs were very different from most of todays animals that are either warm or cold-blooded.“I think we were all surprised by this,” said Felisa Smith from the University of New Mexico. “The idea certainly took some getting used to.”A study by a team of scientists led by John M. Grady of the university studied many different kinds of dinosaurs in their research. They looked at growth rate (比率), body temperature and body size of different kinds of dinosaurs.How are warm-blooded animals different from cold-blooded animals? Warm-blooded animals like humans can control their body temperature. They eat a lot, and burn calories (卡路里) quickly. They have a more active lifestyle than cold-blooded animals. While cold-blooded animals such as snakes do not control their body temperature. Instead, they must use sunlight to keep warm, and they move much more slowly. Cold-blooded animals do not need to eat very much. Their bodies slow down in colder temperatures. Besides dinosaurs, there are other animals that are not completely warm-blooded or cold-blooded, such as great white sharks. 32. According to the new study, _.A. dinosaurs were cold-blooded B. dinosaurs were warm-blooded C. dinosaurs were not completely warm-blooded or cold-bloodedD. some dinosaurs were warm-blooded and some were cold-blooded 33. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 means that _.A. its bad news to get the idea B. its good news to get the ideaC. the idea is the same as what scientists predicted D. the idea is different from what people usually think34. John M. Grady and his team studied many things about different kinds of dinosaurs EXCEPT their _.A. body size B. eating habit C. growth rate D. body temperature 35. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Great white sharks are cold-blooded.B. Most of todays animals are either warm or cold-blooded.C. Cold-blooded animals move slowly in colder temperatures.D. Dinosaurs body temperature didnt only depend on the environment.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，选项中有两项为多余选项。The Internet, social media, and smart phones allow you to learn many things. 36 However, just like in the real world, not everyone online is your friend. Some may use these tools to send unpleasant messages to you, and some may use your information to do something bad. Its very important to know how to stay safe and have positive experiences online. Here are some tips for you.Be careful about friend or follower requests. When you have a friend or follower request, check the persons information first. 37 Only accept friend or follower requests from people you have met in the real world. Dont chat with people you dont know or trust. This is a good way to keep you safe.Review location(定位) services on your phone and other mobile devices. 38 They may put you in danger because others can find you easily. To make sure of your safety, turn off the location services or locations settings features on your mobile devices. Also turn off GPS for the camera, chat and other social media apps. 39 Strong passwords (密码）should have some upper and lower-case letters, numbers and symbols. If you have a strong password, itll be difficult for others to know it. Also, avoid having the same password for all your social and education accounts (账户). It is really not safe for your accounts. 40 If someone sends unpleasant messages to you online, find someone you feel safe talking to. For example, you can talk to a parent, a teacher or a trusted adult and ask him to help report and block(屏蔽) the person.
