【题目】 A 2015 survey found that two out of three U.S. teens owned an iPhone. For this reason, I call them iGen, and as I explain in my new book “iGen: Why Today’s Super-Connected Kids are Growing up Less Rebellious(反叛的), More Tolerant, Less Happy-and Completely Unprepared for Adulthood,”1.

What makes iGen different? 2. They spend so much time on the internet, texting friends and on social media—in the large surveys I analyzed for the book, an average of about six hours per day—that they have less leisure time for everything else.

That includes what was once the favorite activity of most teens:3. Whether it’s going to parties, shopping at the mall, watching movies or aimlessly driving around, iGen teens are participating in these social activities at a significantly lower rate than previous generations.

4: In the annual Monitoring the Future survey, the percentage of high school seniors who read a nonrequired book or magazine nearly every day dropped from 60 percent in 1980 to only 16 percent in 2015.

This isn’t to say that iGen teens don’t have a lot going for them. 5 . They also seem to have a stronger work ethic and more realistic expectations than millennials(千禧一代) did at the same age.

To be clear, moderate smartphone and social media use—up to an hour a day—is not linked to mental health issues. However, most teens (and adults) are on their phones much more than that.

A.spending most of their free time on screens

B.hanging out with their friends

C.They would rather see their friends in person than communicate with them using their phones

D.Growing up with a smartphone has affected nearly every aspect of their lives

E.They are physically safer and more tolerant than previous generations were

F.They’re the first generation to spend their adolescence with a smartphone

G.In addition, iGen reads books, magazines and newspapers much less than previous generations did as teens

【题目】 The fact that your hair turns grey because of stress is nothing more than an old wives' tale. It's true that stress isn't good for you, but it's not going to turn you into a silver fox just yet. In fact, the answer comes from the cells in your hair. These are what decide the color and, eventually, the fade to grey.

Most of us start to notice our first grey hairs by the time we hit our thirties. A general rule to go by is that by the age of 50, half of the population will have lost the color in 50 percent of their hair.

But why does it happen? Firstly, we need to understand how hair gets its color.

Your hair is made up of cells called melanocytes (黑色素细胞) which produce pigments (色素) as they grow into the hair fiber. There are two different types of melanins: eumelanins and pheomelanins. The former produces black and brown pigments, while the latter produces red and yellow pigments. The exact amount of these pigments decide whether a person has black, brown, blonde or red hair.

As we age, the ability of the melanocytes to produce more pigments weakens. That's because our hair grows in different periods.

The growing period lasts between three and five years, after which our follicles (毛囊) turn off for about three months to rest and get ready to grow more hairs. This goes round and round and, after a time, our bodies aren't as good at producing new hairs.

Scientists are continuing to try and find ways to prevent greying hair. A team of scientists in France is working to try and stop the melanocytes from being damaged at the end of each hair cycle. They are trying to use a special enzyme () to protect the cells from damage. If successful, it could lead the way for new products that keep our hair full of color for years to come.

1What does the phrase 'an old wives' tale' in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A.A wrong beliefB.A useful talk

C.A scientific ruleD.A helpful experience

2What do we know about red hair?

A.It doesn’t turn grey as people get older.

B.It contains more pheomelanins than eumelanins.

C.The amount of pigments in it doesn't change over time.

D.People with red hair have weaker ability to produce pigments.

3What do the French scientists aim to do?

A.To repair damaged hair follicles.

B.To protect hair cells against damage.

C.To shorten the hair cycle to protect the hair.

D.To study the relationship between health and hair color.

4What can be a suitable title for the text?

A.Grey Hair: a Symbol of Huge Pressure.

B.Grey Hair: a Symbol of Declining Health.

C.Cells: the Cause of New Hair Growth.

D.Cells:the Cause of Color Change of Hair.

【题目】阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。

A young man had bought an old house that was in bad shape, but he and his wife believed they could restore it. They immediately went to work. Their goal was to have the old building look best for New Year’s Eve get-together.

Just two days before New Year, however, a storm swept through the area, leaving a hole in the wall of the house. There was obviously no time to repair the damage before New Year. Then, the sad couple attended a local auction(拍卖)that afternoon. One of the items put up for bids was an old gold-and-ivory-colored tablecloth. Seized by an inspiration, the young man was the highest bidder at $ 6.50. His idea was to hang the cloth to cover the ragged hole.

On the day before New Year, it was snowy. As the young man unlocked the house door, he noticed an old woman standing at the bus stop. He knew the bus wouldn’t be there within at least half an hour, so he invited her inside to keep warm.

When the woman walked in and saw the tablecloth, she rushed at it and said excitedly, “It’s mine. It is my tablecloth.” She told the surprised man its history and even showed him her name in one comer of the tablecloth. She and her husband had once lived in Vienna, Austria, and their village was hit by a deadly disease. So they decided to flee to Switzerland, but her husband told her to leave first, saying he had something urgent to deal with. A few days later, it was reported that the bus her husband took fell off the cliff(悬崖)and he was never to be found. Her husband was believed to have died. Touched by her story, the young couple asked about her address, planning to send the tablecloth to her after New Year. As the bus came, she left.

In the candlelight of New Year’s Eve, the tablecloth looked even more beautiful. As the man’s friends left the house, they thanked the man for his arrangement and mentioned how beautiful the house looked.

【题目】 People have always had to find ways to keep food safe to eat. Methods to dry, smoke and salt food were invented thousands of years ago. 1 This storage method keeps food safe to eat for long periods of time. Today, canning is one of the most popular methods of storing food.

Clean fruits or vegetables are placed in glass bottles. The food can be put into the bottles either hot or cold. The cold method is used for soft fruits and vegetables that could lose their shape or taste. 2 They take up less space in the bottles.

After the food has been placed in glass bottles, boiling water is poured into the bottles to about three centimeters below the top. 3 The bottles are placed in a large container filled with warm water that is then brought to a boil.

The water must completely cover the bottles, from three to five centimeters over the top. When the water boils, any air in the bottles will be expelled. The boiling continues for several minutes. Then the bottles are allowed to cool. Finally, they are placed briefly into cold water. 4 In other words, a vacuum (真空)is created.

When the bottles are completely cool, notes can be placed on them to identify what is inside. The bottles can then be stored in a cool, dark place at a temperature of between 4 and 21.

5 It is also a good way to store food for six months to a year, or even several years, in case of an emergency. It does not cost much to continue canning every year once the equipment has been purchased.

A.The process of canning is much more recent.

B.This makes a strong barrier to keep the air out.

C.One popular method of canning uses a water bath.

D.Firmer fruits and most vegetables are usually cooked.

E.Canning uses heat to kill bacteria that cause poisons to form in food.

F.Then covers are placed on the bottles, but they are not turned all the way.

G.Canning allows your family to enjoy foods that might not come fresh throughout the year.

【题目】 The rapid growth in skyscrapers worldwide, most of which have large windows, has led to a high demand for window washers. Though the job is well-paid, it is dangerous and accidents are not uncommon. However, if Israel-based start-up Skyline Technologies has its way, the dangerous job may soon be done by Ozmo, an intelligent window cleaning robot, with humans supervising (监督) from the safety of the ground.

Much like humans, Ozmo, sitting on platforms hanging from the buildings, uses its arms and brushes to clean the dirt on the glass. A 3D map of the building’s surface programmed into its system allows the robot to skillfully deal with any obstacle it is likely to meet, as it moves up and down the buildings. The robot will self-correct and move around every obstacle that it might have met so as not to break a window.

Unlike present window washers, the robot cleaner does not require soap to clean the glass. Instead, it uses distilled (蒸馏的) water to do the job. Yaron Schwarcz, CEO of Skyline Robotics explains, “We are environmentally friendly.”

Ozmo is also expected to be much more efficient than its human counterparts. While it presently takes three cleaners 480 hours each to clean windows of a 40-storey glass building, the robot will be able to do it in 80 hours. However, unlike other robots, Ozmo will not replace human workers, and only make their jobs safer by making them supervisors, who will be controlling the operation from the safety of the ground.

Whether Ozmo, which is still being tested, does as good a job as humans remains to be seen. If things go well, its creators have much bigger ambitions for Ozmo. Schwarcz told Forbes Magazine, “Window cleaning is just the tip of the iceberg. We plan to replace all tasks that are dangerous and dirty.”

1Why is Ozmo friendly to our environment?

A.It uses less soap than other robots.

B.It depends on solar energy.

C.It makes our ecosystem more balanced.

D.It consumes nothing made from chemicals.

2What can we infer from the passage?

A.Like cleaning windows, a well-paid job is usually dangerous.

B.Without humans supervising, Ozmo could have performed better.

C.Ozmo can save 400 hours per building compared to a human cleaner.

D.Ozmo can’t be stopped by obstacles with its advanced system.

3What does the underlined part “the tip of the iceberg” mean?

A.A small part of a big plan.

B.As cool as the iceberg.

C.The most advanced technology.

D.The leading role in the modern world.

4What is the best title for the text

A.Robots make a difference.

B.Meet Ozmo, the window cleaning robot.

C.Supervise Ozmo, human safe.

D.Intelligent Ozmo becomes known worldwide.
