It was said that school should not start before February 17. The exact start time of school will depend on situations and further notices.However, many parents are difficult to disguise their anxiety that putting off the start of school may have an effect on childrens studies. If they have such a long winter vacation, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously affect their physical and mental health.In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台) , where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.It should be said that such a method is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve“no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.24. Parents worried about putting off the start time of school because _.A. children may be infected by virus B. they dont like the idea of online learningC. childrens study may be affected D. parents have no time to look after children25. Except for learning at home, what is also necessary according to the writer?A. To keep playing online games B. To keep touching different people.C. To do some physical exercises outside D. To get children prepared for virus by teaching them health knowledge26. The underlined wordsuspensionin Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. plan B. stop C.waste D.beginning 27. Whats the best title for this passageA. A Special Way to Learn at Home B. A New War with a New ChanceC. A Way to Keep Mentally Healthy D. A Method to Make Parents Worried CI know it may be hard to convince you, but let me try: Dont kill the next spider you see in your home.Why? Because spiders are an important part of nature and our indoor ecosystemas well as being fellow organisms(生物) in their own right.People like to think of their living places as safely isolated from the outside world, but many types of spiders can be found inside. Some are accidentally trapped, while others are short-term visitors. Some species even enjoy the great indoors, where they happily live out their lives and make more spiders. These spiders are usually secretive, and almost all you meet are neither aggressive nor dangerous. And they may be providing services like eating pestssome even eat other spiders.My colleagues and I conducted a visual survey of 50 North Carolina homes and found that every single house we visited was home to spiders. The most common species we encountered were cobweb spiders and cellar spiders. They simply eat anything they can catch. Spiders regularly capture annoying pests and even disease-carrying insectsfor example, mosquitoes. Theres even a species of jumping spider that prefers to eat blood-filled mosquitoes in African homes. So killing a spider doesnt just cost it its life, it may take an important predator out of your home.Spiders are not out to get you and actually prefer to avoid humans; we are much more dangerous to them than vice versa. Bites from spiders are extremely rare. Although there are a few medically important species like widow spiders and recluses, even their bites are uncommon and rarely cause serious issues.If you truly cant stand that spider in your house, apartment, garage, or wherever, instead of killing it, try to capture it and release it outside. Itll find somewhere else to go, and both parties will be happier with the outcome.But if you can stomach it, its OK to have spiders in your home. In fact, its normal. And frankly, even if you dont see them, theyll still be there. So consider a live-and-let-live approach to the next spider you encounter.28. What is the text mainly about?A. Varieties of spiders.B. Skills of treating spider bites.C. Ways to avoid poisonous spiders.D. Reasons for not killing house spiders.29. Why should we avoid killing spiders according to the author?A. Because killing them costs much.B. Because they do more good than harm.C. Because most of them arent poisonous.D. Because they just stay in our houses temporarily.30. What should be done to get rid of spiders from your house?A. Trap them and starve them. B. Capture them and kill them.C. Capture them and release them outside. D. Trap them and feed them with mosquitoes.31. What does the underlined word stomach in the last paragraph mean?A. Eat.B. Stand.C. Kill.D. Capture.DIts often said of British people that they are very aware of each others social rank. Britons can usually work out a fellow countrymans background from the way they speak or dress, and may even treat them differently based on this. But although this may have been truer in the past than it is today, visitors to Britain say that they still notice it. The comic play Pygmalion (1913), by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), is a famous exploration of the importance of social rank in British society.The main story of the play concerns a working class girl, Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller from London. Two upper class gentlemen try to see if they can get Doolittle to appear like an upper class lady after sending her for elocution lessons. Professor Henry Higgins, a language expert, says it can be done; his friend Colonel Pickering says that its impossible. Even so, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to “speak properly”.Of course, Eliza isnt a lump of clay; she has her own will. She can see that its in her best interest to go along with Higgins plan to “improve herself”. She wants to be able to sell flowers in a shop rather than on the street. After the training, Eliza proves that a flower girl can pass herself off as a lady at a ball. She is a triumph (赢家), and Higgins has won his bet.But what happens next? Eliza has her future to worry about. She may be able to fool the upper class into thinking shes one of them, but she isnt really one of them.Shaw seems to be telling us that social rank is about more than the way someone talks-its about wealth and privilege. The whole experiment proves the idea that accents and classes are very superficial (肤浅的). The way one speaks and dresses are only markers of class. The class system itself, however, is something completely different.32. What can we learn about speaking and dressing from Paragraph 1?A. They determine Britons social rank. B. Britons are stricter in them nowadays.C. Britons no longer care about them. D. They could affect others opinion of a person.33. Which can replace the underlined word “elocution”?A. dress B. manners C. speech D. dance34. What happens to Eliza Doolittle during the experiment?A. She is forced to give up selling flowers on the street.B. She is unwilling to participate in the experiment.C. She is thought of as an upper-class lady at the hall.D. She is hopeful about her future.35. Which of the following would Shaw probably agree with?A. One can enter the upper class after receiving training.B. People should try their best to improve their accents.C. The way people speak greatly affects their social status.D. Social rank can t be judged by dressing or speaking.第二节 （共5小题;每小题2分，共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。If something that youre doing doesnt challenge you, then it doesnt change you.
