【题目】Americans, especially the millennials（千禧一代）, are always glued（固着于）to their phones. A common day of the average university student in America starts off like this: an alarm clock wakes you up, which is quickly followed by checking social media such as Twitter and Facebook. Once in classes, you are again attracted by your buzzing phone and access to the Internet rather than pay attention to the lecturing professor. Then you have lunch with some friends, only to look up from your screen to realize that no one has said a word in five minutes and instead all are looking at their phones. Once the day ends, you can’t help checking all forms of social media again before finally being able to shut your eyes only to repeat this vicious cycle the next day.

Cyberbullying（网络霸凌）, a concept unknown before, is now in fashion. Many of the millennials are using the Internet to make jokes about others to points of extremes. The Internet gives cowards bravery; people feel like their actions and words have no bad results because they cannot see the ache it causes another.

Millennials also think that whatever information shows up on their screens must be taken as truth, whether the material is reliable（可靠的）or not.

Social media is not all bad, however. People are still able to use social media to connect with friends and family who live a great distance away. With a few clicks of a button, someone could make another person smile, or give words of hope and encouragement to a friend in need, or even help repair a broken relationship. Cyberspace is a vortex（漩涡）that is easy to get caught up in, but we must find a balance to keep both feet in reality while traveling across the online world.

【1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph l mean?

A. You can’t break away from your phone.

B. You decide to get rid of this bad behaviour later.

C. You return to going cycling the following day.

D. You are caught in the busy life.

【2】What can be learned about the milennials?

A. They often mistake facts for personal opinions.

B. They prefer to communicate face to face.

C. They are often made fun of in the cyberspace.

D. They don’t make their own judgement.

【3】What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?

A. To state the ill effect of social media.

B. To prove the benefit of cyberspace.

C. To suggest using the social media wisely.

D. To introduce the function of phones.

【4】Which way of using social media is advised by the writer?

A. Being glued to the phones all the time.

B. Promoting relationships.

C. Losing themselves in the cyberspace.

【题目】Life-Changing Science Discoveries

Here’s a look at some discoveries that have changed the world. It’s impossible to rank their importance, so they’re listed in the order they were discovered.

Micro-organism

Before French chemist Louis Pasteur began experimenting with bacteria in the 1860s, people did not know what caused disease. He not only discovered that disease came from micro-organisms, but also realized that bacteria could be killed by heat and disinfectant(消毒剂). This idea caused doctors to wash their hands and disinfect their instruments, which has saved millions of lives.

Penicillin

Antibiotics are powerful drugs that kill dangerous bacteria in our bodies that make us sick. In 1928, British Alexander Fleming discovered the first antibiotic, penicillin, which he grew in his lab. Without antibiotics, infections like strep throat could be deadly

DNA

On February 28, 1853, James Watson of the United States and Francis Crick of England made one of the greatest scientific discoveries in history. The two scientists found the structure of DNA. Our genes are made of DNA and determine how things like what color hair and eye we’ll have. In 1962, they were awarded the Nobel Prize for this work. The discovery has helped doctors understand diseases and may someday prevent some illnesses like heart disease and cancer.

X-rays

Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist, discovered X-rays in 1895. X-rays go right through some substances, like flesh and wood, but are stopped by others, such as bones and lead. This allows them to be used to see broken bones or explosives inside suitcases, which makes them useful for doctors and security officers. For this discovery, Roentgen was awarded the first-ever Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.

【1】What did Louis Pasteur contribute to the world?

A. He discovered bacteria.

B. His findings helped save lives.

C. He found ways to grow bacteria.

D. His discovery won a Nobel Prize.

【2】Which discovery was made by two scientists from different countries?

A. Micro-organism. B. Penicillin.

C. DNA. D. X-rays.

【3】Why is the discovery of X-rays important?

A. It can be used to see through bones and lead.

B. It can help us to know why we are different.

C. It is useful for doctor and security officers.

D. It is used to kill dangerous bacteria in our bodies.

【4】What is common among the discoveries above?

A. They can help to prevent certain diseases.

B. They are all related to medical fields.

C. They are awarded the Nobel Prize.

D. They are all made in Europe.

【题目】For many years, Bruce Bexler dreamed of going to the lands no human had explored and discovered rare, unknown species. That might sound like an impossible dream, but Bexler turned it into a reality.

In December 2015, he, together with a team of Australian and American scientists, adventured into a rain forest on the island of New Guinea. They were the first people ever to enter the region. “As we were dropped on the ground by helicopter, we found no trails anywhere; it was really hard to get around,” Bexler says.

Within minutes of landing, the team spotted a black chicken-like bird. The scientists soon determined that the creature was a type of honeyeater-the first new bird species to be sighted on New Guinea in 60 years. The honeyeater wasn’t the only surprise for them. They discovered more than 40 previously unknown plant and animal species. “We were like kids in a candy store?’ Bexler recalls. “Everywhere we looked, we saw amazing things we had never seen before.”

The new found species didn’t shy away from the scientists. Two long-nosed echidnas even let the visitors pick them up and take them back to camp to study them. Bexler thinks the animals weren’t scared because they had never seen humans before. He explains, “This area gives scientists a place where they can study the behaviours of animals that have not yet learned to be afraid of people.”

Bexler and his team did not have enough time to study the area completely. “We just scratched the surface, Bexler says. “Anyone who goes there will come back with a mystery.”

【1】Which word can best describe Bruce Bexler?

A. Adventurous. B. Cautious.

C. Optimistic. D. Reliable.

【2】What does the underlined sentence suggest in the third paragraph?

A. They enjoyed the experience of being in a candy store.

B. They were very excited about what they discovered.

C. They were misbehaving like naughty children.

D. Their next search might help them get sugar.

【3】Why did the long-nosed echidnas allow the scientists to take them back for their study?

A. The scientists were very friendly to them.

B. The scientists were skilled in handling animals.

C. They had been well-trained by the local people.

D. They had never been threatened by people.

【4】We can infer from Bexler’s words in the last paragraph that .

A. the scientists have learned enough about the deep rain forest

B. the area is likely to keep untouched in the future

C. more unknown plants and animals are to be discovered there

D. whoever goes there can uncover the mystery of the forest

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

【1】 we know, there are three medalists in Olympic races: the gold, the silver, and the bronze (铜牌).

Imagine what it’s like to be the silver medalist. If you 【2】 (be) just one second faster, you could have won the gold! So close! You would keep comparing yourself to be the gold winner, full 【3】 envy.

Now imagine what it’s like to be the bronze medalist. One second 【4】 (slow), and you wouldn’t have won anything! Whoo-hoo! You would be thrilled that you were 【5】 (official) an Olympic medalist, and got to stand on the winner’s podium at all.

You can 【6】 compare up or compare down and your 【7】 (happy) depends on where you’re focusing. This is easy to understand, but hard to remember in everyday life. If you catch yourself 【8】 (bum) with envy of anger, think like the bronze medalist, not the silver. Change your focus.

For example, if you buy something that is “the best”, you may feel like a gold winner, but when the new “best” 【9】 (come) out next year, you’ll feel like the siver. Instead, if you look at what you buy as something “surprisingly good”, it will keep you in the bronze mindset. Since you’re not comparing it to best, you’ll feel no need 【10】 (keep) up with the newest thing.
