Recently I have read an article in magazine．It was about the mother who was worried about her son just because of he always kept his hair long．The mother thought that was not right，and the son felt there was nothing unusually about it．Different generations have different opinion on the same thing．That is what is meaning by"the generation gap"，which we can see it in our daily life．Most of our parents like listening to old songs when young people prefer pop songs．Every time my father finds me listening to rock music，he always shouted，"Shut it off．It's awful!"How can we deal with the generation gap？

When enjoying children's birthdays or a long-expected family holiday,you may usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph.But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snapping photos at an important event,be aware--you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.

Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories.

Maryanne Garry,a New Zealand psychology professor,has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories.I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,she says.Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children,for example,are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them.The picture only captures a small part of the total experience.And because parents remember less about these important events,they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences.As a result,children's own childhood memories are reduced.

The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel’s thinking.She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.

Henkel,who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut,did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s art museum.The students observed some objects and photographed others. Then,back at the laboratory,they were given a memory test.Henkel found what she called a “photo-taking effect”.The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of,and they remembered fewer details about those objects.She says her students’ memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.

“As soon as you hit ‘click’ on that camera,it’s as if you’ve decreased your memory.” she says.

1.What does the word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. A child’s birthday.

B. An important event.

C. A valuable photograph.

D. A family holiday.

2.How did Henkel develop her theory about the “photo-taking effect”？

A. By carrying out an experiment.

B. By giving a questionnaire.

C. By interviewing a group of students.

D. By researching the findings of the others.

3.According to Paragraph 3,why are children’s memories reduced?

A. Flash lights are causing children to forget more things.

B. Parents are into listening to children’s experiences.

C. Children are more into taking photos than experiencing.

D. Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences.

4.What’s the purpose of this passage?

A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.

B. To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.

C. To explain how to use cameras in an effective way.

D. To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.
12．Scientists have found amounts of water molecules inside rocks and soil samples from Mars before．But an ancient meteorite（陨石） found recently contains 10times more water and much more oxygen than any Martian meteorite ever before discovered．
What's so wild about this wet discovery？It could mean that the Red Planet once had enough water to have liquid flowing on the planet's surface．
It was once believed that if Mars ever had water at all，its water would have been small amounts of ice below the surface or existing in the soil only as hydrogen and oxygen---the elements that make up water．But recent discoveries have shown that Mars probably had a much wetter history than formerly thought．
The meteorite，nicknamed Black Beauty，was found in Africa's Sahara Desert in 2011．Only about 110 meteorites from Mars have ever been found．Scientists believe most Martian meteorites arrived on our planet during one large asteroid crash（小行星碰撞）that sent rocks falling toward Earth long ago．
Black Beauty is about 2.1 billion years old．Its discovery is the first time scientists have been able to study such an ancient Martian rock．It's also one of the first times scientists have been able to study a piece of the planet's ancient surface．
The sample's water molecules were sent out when scientists heated the meteorite to analyze it．Scientists think the meteorite's hydrogen and oxygen molecules are so plentiful because water was flowing on Mars at the time this meteorite fell to Earth，or because these molecules were once sealed in large quantities in Mars's crust．
Black Beauty might do more than just unlock secrets from the Red Planet's past．These discoveries could also help scientists understand new data about Mars that's being sent from the robotic rovers currently gathering information on the planet．

32．People used to think thatA．
A．there was little water on Mars
B．Mars had a lot of flowing water
C．a large quantity of ice was Mars
D．Mars was much wetter than Earth
33．What do we know about Black Beauty？C
A．It was discovered in Seattle in the USA．
B．It is the biggest of 110 meteorites form Mars．
C．It landed on Earth after an asteroid crash．
D．It has a history of 2.1 million years．
34．How did the scientists research Black Beauty？A
A．By cutting it into pieces．B．By dipping it into water．
C．By burning it on a fire．   D．By burying it into a desert．
35．The passage is mainly aboutB．
A．a rock from the center of Mars．
B．a major Martian meteorite discovery
C．a new discovery on the Red Planet
D．a number of meteorites from Red Planet．

Every day，in all kinds of weather，a lot of men or women go jogging （慢跑）．（61）Why is jogging so popular？为什么慢跑如此流行呢？Most people start jogging because they hear it is a very good form of exercise．Jogging makes the heart strong and helps people control their weight or stay slim．If you keep jogging regularly，（62）It is unnecessary for you to take medicines．你没必要服药 or skip meals to lose weight．（63）慢跑还能使你对自己感觉更好．Jogging can also make you feel better about yourself．
Donald Robbins，who is 42years old and works in an office，began jogging a few years ago because he was overweight．At first，（64）他只能跑300米左右．he could only run about 300 meters，but two years later，he ran a marathon-over 42kilometers．
Do you jog？If you do，be sure to ask your doctor for advice．（65）慢跑几乎不耗费你任何东西Jogging costs you almost nothing．But it is very important to have a pair of good shoes that are made especially for jogging．If not，when you run on hard ground for a long time，it may cause your feet to hurt．
15．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．
Like all of us，I am heartbroken with sadness whenever I read another news story about a hot car tragedy（36）FWhile all of us may wonder how this could happen so frequently，from what I've read it's most often due to either kids getting into cars without parents'notice，or parents forgetting a child in the backseat．（37）DThis is because their body temperatures rise more quickly than adults'do．
It's easy to cast judgment and wonder how on earth a parent could forget their child in a hot car．But in the majority of stories I've read，there is a sleeping child in the backseat and a parent has disrupted their usual routine．（38）Cwhat I have read is to leave something in your back seat like a cell phone or handbag，or employee ID or briefcase if a parent is headed to work．It's also important to always keep your car locked，including on driveways and in garages，and to hide the keys．（39）GWhile it's hard to say anything good that can escape from these nightmares，I'd like to think that every news story raises parents'awareness about the phenomenon．（40）AI'd like to think that the incidents remind us all that if we are ever in the parking lot of a grocery store，mall，or whenever and see a child alone in a parked car，we immediately alert the store or authorities．

A．These children did not die in vain．
B．Parents are to blame for these deaths．
C．What's the best and most practical prevention tip？
D．It often doesn't take long for children to die of heat．
E．Measures must be taken to prevent children being left in cars．
F．In 2016 alone，26 children have died after being left in hot cars．
G．This way，your child cannot wander into the car without your knowing．
