Moving through the air, a gray-haired 79-year-old keeps her head up, eyes closely watching every movement of the giant kite-like inflated (膨胀的) wing as she floats effortlessly across the land. Tracey Hardison, 79, spends most of her spare time going powered paragliding (滑翔伞运动) .
Like any other extreme sports such as skydiving and bungee jumping, more and more young people like to play with it. But Tracey, who started powered paragliding in 2008, sees it as the perfect sport for her. “There are 1, 000 reasons not to do something you don’t like, but there is only one reason you do something you like. I only do what I like. I like doing what challenges me - things that are considered impossible by others”, she said.
She once crashed into rich woodland on a snowy day, and was lucky enough to escape with just a few scratches (刮伤) . One spring nearly a decade ago, Tracey was walking by a river when she saw a man playing with a powered paraglider. It was the first time she had seen it, and she immediately fell for it, begging the man to teach her how to use it.
However, a new powered paraglider would cost her 7, 240 dollars and an additional 600 dollars for lessons, which she could not afford. But she decided to take up the sport, so when she found a secondhand paraglider for half the price, she didn’t think twice. “Took out all my savings to follow my dream to fly”, she said.
Tracey’s daughter, who is 36 and married, could not understand her mother’s choice at the time. She is still strongly against her love for flying, but nothing seems to be able to stop her. Asked how many more years she plans to glide, Tracey replied, “I’ll fly until I’m physically unable to do so.“
24．Why does Tracey spend most of her spare time going powered paragliding
A．Because she enjoys the feeling of flying.
B．Because she uses it to kill her spare time.
C．Because she loves it and it is challenging.
D．Because she likes adventure and it is interesting.
25．What do you know about Tracey from the passage
A．She lives a rich life.
B．She is a determined woman.
C．She is good at many extreme sports.
D．She learnt how to use the powered paraglider by herself.
26．How does Tracey’s daughter think of her mother’s choice
A．She is in favor of it B．She is proud of it.
C．She disagrees with it. D．She thinks nothing of it.
27．What does the text mainly tell us
A．Grandma shares her dreams with others.
B．Grandma practises paragliding everyday.
C．Grandma likes the dangerous sports.
D．Grandma follows her dream to fly.

Most young, single Singaporeans live with their parents. But some are moving into their own places as social norms (规范) develop.
When Alan, a civil servant willing to challenge and reform this conventional stereotype (陈规), decided to move out of his family home in Singapore, it still took the 27-year-old a month to talk about the topic with his parents. He feared they wouldn’t understand. After all, Alan’s home was a pleasant place. The family’s three-bedroom condominium (公寓) wasn’t far from the city-state’s central business district. There was homemade dinner on the table each night, and his laundry was always done for him. “There wasn’t a push factor, just pull factors,” he says. “I’d lived with my parents my whole life, so I just wanted to experience what it’s like being by myself, you know ”
In the West, leaving home is just another milestone in adulthood. Yet in most Asian societies, things are different. Culturally, moving out is sometimes considered as showing disrespect to your parents, which makes it even challenging and praiseworthy. In Singapore, living at home until marriage is a common practice; an estimated 97% of unmarried individuals lived with their parents in 2013.
While the trend is in part driven by deep-rooted ideas of filial piety (孝道), it’s also linked to government policies on accommodation for young people. Most Singaporeans live in public housing units, apartments funded by the state that are known as HDBs. About 90% of those who live in HDBs own their home.
Those who can’t buy HDBs can rent via the private property market — but costs are much higher. “These cost restrictions,” says Dr Chua, a professor of sociology, “effectively keep most young, unmarried people living at home with their parents.”
Yet Alan, who now rents a flat in Hougang with two friends from junior college, is among the courageous young pioneers resisting the long-time cultural norm. These commendable young people are deciding that the price of the freedom to organize their own life is worth it and stepping out of their home.
28．What can we know from the second and third paragraphs
A．The East and the West are very different in most aspects.
B．Alan decided to live separately mainly due to some objective reasons.
C．The majority of single young people followed social customs in living in 2013.
D．In the East, it is culturally acceptable for the young to live separately from the elderly.
29．What mainly causes most single young people to live with their parents in Singapore
A．Their parents’ expectations. B．Their personal wish.
C．The home environment. D．The traditional culture and housing prices.
30．What is the author’s attitude towards the young Singaporeans like Alan moving out
A．Confused. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Doubtful.
31．What is the best title for the text
A．Young Singaporeans’ Relationship with Their Parents
B．Young Singaporeans Fighting Against Old Social Customs
C．Young Singaporeans Striking Out Their Way to Independence
D．Young Singaporeans’ New Way to Solve High Housing Prices
D
The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fashion. Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” --- and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2015. A lovely bear --- popular in the US and UK --- that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version(简装本) of London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.
In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms like e-mail first came into use.
Most “i” products are aimed at young people and considering the major readers of independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.
But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.
“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability (轻便) .”adds Thorne.
※Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.
Along with “Google” and “Microblog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last ten years.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fashions. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.
32．People use iPlayer to __________.
A．read newspapers B．watch TV programs online
C．make a call D．listen to music
33．The underlined word “ambiguous” means “__________”.
A．popular B．clear
C．uncertain D．unique
34．Paragraph 6 connects the power of “i” with ________.
A．Apple’s products B．information technology
C．the Western culture D．the Internet
35．The last paragraph suggests that __________.
A．the popularity of “i” products may not last long
B．the letter “b” replace letter “i” to name the products
C．fashions don’t necessarily change with time
D．“i” products are often of high quality

“Attention! Everyone! I would like you guys to meet Jose from Mexico. He is a new here, so be nice to him and show him around,” said Mrs Espinoza.
No one talked and the classroom was silent. And then some students stared at Jose and began to whisper to each other. Jose was wearing loose gray pants and a dirty white shirt. His shoes made a short and loud sound when he walked to his desk. Everyone giggled (咯咯地笑) at the sound, but no one talked to him. I wondered how he felt being here and having everyone’s eyes on him and even being laughed at. I wanted to say “Hi” but I was afraid that I might be made fun of for talking to “the new kid”.
In the following days, Jose was lonely and he struggled to fit into the new life. Besides, it was hard for him to learn a new language and make new friends in the new school.
Every day he would sit by himself and eat his lunch quietly, without a word, just focusing on his food. Many of the students would pass by and make unfriendly comments on him. He would just frown (皱眉) and look down at the floor. I wanted to be kind to him but still I couldn’t take the first step.
When I got home, I talked to my sister about Jose. I told her about him being new here and about how the students at school treated him. Then I told her that I wanted to talk to him but I was worried that my friends would make fun of me. She said with a smile, “If they are your true friends, they will stick by you no matter what you do. You know, those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind. “The next day, I knew exactly what I was going to do.
Paragraph 1
During the lunch time, I got my lunch and walked towards Jose.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
As days went on, I kept talking to Jose but I noticed I was losing some friends.

29．细节理解题。根据第四段中的“While the trend is in part driven by deep-rooted ideas of filial piety (孝道), it’s also linked to government policies on accommodation for young people.(虽然这种趋势在一定程度上是由根深蒂固的孝道思想驱动的，但它也与政府为年轻人提供住宿的政策有关)”和第五段“Those who can’t buy HDBs can rent via the private property market — but costs are much higher. “These cost restrictions,” says Dr Chua, a professor of sociology, “effectively keep most young, unmarried people living at home with their parents.”(那些买不到由国家资助公寓的人可以通过私人房地产市场租房，但成本要高得多。“这些成本限制，”身为社会学教授的蔡博士说，“有效地让大多数年轻未婚人士和父母住在一起。”)”可知，新加坡的传统文化和房价是导致大多数单身年轻人和父母住在一起的主要原因。故选D。
30．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yet Alan, who now rents a flat in Hougang with two friends from junior college, is among the courageous young pioneers resisting the long-time cultural norm. These commendable young people are deciding that the price of the freedom to organize their own life is worth it and stepping out of their home.(艾伦现在和两个大专的朋友在后港租了一套公寓，他是勇敢的年轻先锋之一，抵制长期以来的文化规范。这些值得称赞的年轻人正在决定，为组织自己生活的自由付出的代价是值得的，他们走出家门)”可推知，作者对像艾伦这样的新加坡年轻人搬出去持积极态度。故选B。
31．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Most young, single Singaporeans live with their parents. But some are moving into their own places as social norms (规范) develop.(大多数年轻单身的新加坡人与父母同住。但随着社会规范的发展，一些人正在搬到自己的地方)”及下文介绍可知，随着社会规范的发展，一些年轻的新加坡人正在离开父母独立生活。由此可知，C. Young Singaporeans Striking Out Their Way to Independence(年轻的新加坡人努力争取独立)适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。

【分析】本文为说明文，苹果公司推出的带有i-前缀的产品销售异常火爆，你知道为什么吗？本文主要介绍了这方面的取名知识。
32．细节理解题。根据第一段The BBC’s iPlayer --- which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet ---used the title in 2015.可知人们用iPlayer 在网络上看电视节目。
33．词义猜测题。根据第四段最后两句话所讲的例子可以判断出ambiguous 是不明确的，模棱两可的意思。
34．细节理解题。根据第六段Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual.可知人们往往把i-与西方文化联系起来。
35．推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句But as history shows, people grow tired of fashions.以及后面的例子可以推知作者认为带i-前缀的产品的盛行也维持不了太长时间。

67．Paragraph 1:
During the Lunch time, I got my lunch and walked towards Jose. Everyone looked at me, wondering what I was about to do. I sat next to him. He just kept eating his food without saying a word. I decided I'd have to start the conversation. I said, "Hi!" He looked up at me with a big smile. I smiled back to him immediately. While we talked and ate our food together, I realized he was a nice and kind guy. We talked about sports and hobbies. Jose told me that living in America was really different from living in Mexico
Paragraph 2:
As days went on, I kept talking to Jose but I noticed I was losing some friends. Regardless of that, I still stayed with Jose and stood by him. And joyfully some kids gradually came to join us and stuck by us. Jose and I became best friends and we helped each other in life and study. From little kids in fourth grade to young adults in tenth grade, Jose has always been there for me since that day. So we should never judge someone by the way they look or dress-they might end up changing our life.

②由第二段首句内容“随着时间的推移，我不断与乔斯交谈，但我注意到我正在失去一些朋友。”可知，第二段可描写作者之后结识到志同道合的朋友。
