What did people do to communicate in ancient (古代的) times Here are some very interesting answers to this question.
Alphorns (阿尔卑斯长号角) were once used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland (瑞士). They are very long and they are very heavy, too. So, alphorns are hard work to blow. Then why use them Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen (牧民) used them to call cows in the distance (在远处) for milking. At sunset, alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. Today, they’re mostly used as musical instruments.
The people of La Gomera, an island in Europe, have their own special way of sending messages from mountain to mountain. They use a whistled (口哨的) language called el silbo. El silbo comes from their language Spanish. Whistling can be heard within five kilometers, so it can be used across much greater distances than shouting. El silbo can be used for all kinds of messages, including greetings and announcements. El silbo is used a lot less than it used to be, but primary school students in La Gomera have to learn it.
Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise This is called visual (视觉的) communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a warning. If they noticed the enemy from their signal (信号) tower, they lit a smoky fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they lit fires, too. In this way, messages about the enemy’s arrival could travel as far as 800 kilometers in just a few hours.
25. Today alphorns are mostly used for ________.
A. communicating in the mountains
B. calling cows for milking
C. playing a kind of music
26. The people of La Gomera use el silbo to communicate because ________.
A. it can send messages to animals
B. it can be heard at a great distance
C. it is a subject for young students
27. How did soldiers along the Great Wall get warning messages between towers
A. By watching. B. By listening. C. By whistling.
28. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage (P=Paragraph)
A B C
C
When we see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we may think nothing is wrong. But when we come to the question “how much time do they spend on media (传播媒介) daily ”, the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this only includes media used for enjoyment.
Today’s young people seem to have become crazy multitaskers. They often use media when doing other activities. Some watch TV when doing homework, some text (发短信), and others listen to music. But what do young people think of this The research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no influence on their schoolwork. Half of them thought using social media made no difference. However, researchers have given a different answer: “media multitaskers” did worse in tests.
Scientists did the research among more than 400 students. It showed that those who texted a lot had more trouble sleeping and did worse in their study. In another research, students who didn’t text during a lesson took down a lot more notes than those who texted.
According to the research, if a kid uses social media a lot, he or she will sleep worse at night and feel more nervous and depressed (消沉的). And sitting too much can lead to health problems like a sore back or neck, heart problems and some kinds of illness. On the one hand, young people stay up late to check messages and information. They may also be woken up by messages they receive. On the other hand, even the light from a screen could influence their sleep. They may become sleepy more easily during the daytime.
29. How many hours do the young people spend using media every day
A. 8. B. 9. C. 10
30. The underlined word “multitaskers” in Paragraph 2 refer to people who ________.
A. ask a lot of questions
B. have several mobile phones
C. do several things at the same time
31. From the passage we can learn that a kid will probably ________ if he or she uses social media a lot at night.
A. do the best in tests B. sleep much better C. feel more nervous and sicker
32. The writer wrote this passage in order to ________.
A. tell young people not to spend too much time on mobile phones
B. tell young people about using social media made no difference
C. tell young people about using mobile phones can help with study or work
D
Do you have conflict (冲突) with others Why does conflict happen Maybe it happens when two people disagree because of their own opinions, or beliefs (信仰). It’s not always as simple as an argument.
Parents and teenagers have many chances to have conflict with one another. Adolescence (青春期) is a time when independence and parental influence fight, since teens are able to think on their own but still live with parents who have rules and expectations for them. When kids don’t show up at home late at night, their parents get worried. A worried parent becomes a scolding parent. When the teen does come home, he/she will get punishment (处罚).
Sometimes, teens want to have noisy fun while their parents want to sleep. This is a common conflict that happens every day. Parents might use the teenager’s grades to judge (判断) him/her every time the grades are reported. The conflict happens when the parents’ expectations aren’t met. Finding the causes of conflicts is the first step to solve the conflict. Here are a few tips for parents and teenagers to use.
View each other as friends in the common goals (目标) you agree on, which usually include keeping teens safe and seeing them be successful.
List (列举) possible solutions to the conflict together. Just start listing creative ideas, whether they seem reasonable or not. Creativity is your friend when you’re solving any problems in life, including conflicts with others.
33. The writer starts the passage by ________.
A. asking questions B. giving examples C. listing number
34. Which of the following statement (陈述) is TRUE
A. A conflict is the same as an argument.
B. Parents and teenagers never have same goals.
C. Different beliefs and opinions may result in conflicts.
35. We can infer (推断) from the passage that ________.
A. it’s easy to solve the conflict between parents and teenagers
B. friends can reach common goals more easily
C. creative thinking is helpful to conflict resolution
36. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. The reasons of conflict between teens and parents.
B. The reasons and solutions of conflict between teens and parents.
C. The harm (伤害) of conflict between teens and parents.

When it comes to fire, people are always scared because no one wants to get hurt. 37 Here is some advice on how to save yourself in a fire.
When a fire breaks out in your building, you should go outside as quickly as possible. 38 You should stay low (低的) to the ground. because smoke (烟雾) naturally rises. And remember to cover your nose and mouth on the way.
If you’re in a room and it’s already too late to get out, close the door first. Then block the cracks (堵住裂缝) around the door with some wet clothes. 39 At the same time, open the windows and shout for help.
If your clothes catch fire, don’t run! Instead, stop what you’re doing. Then you should lie down on the ground, cover your face with your hands and roll (翻滚). This will cut off the air and put out the fire.
It’s useful to get to know these pieces of advice. 40 Having a fire drill (训练) at home makes everyone able to see how they will do in a real fire.
A. Just leave them behind.
B. And it’s even better if you have some practice.
C. But you can feel less worried if you are prepared.

The Spirit of Giving
Terry Crossman, is an American who lives in Beijing now. He is 64 years old and he is retired (退休). He has lived in Beijing for 24 years. Now he spends some of his time volunteering to help tourists find their way around the beautiful area of Xicheng District in Beijing. He can even give people directions in fluent (流利的) Chinese.
Things were not easy for him when he started volunteering in March 2017, since he was unfamiliar (不熟悉) with the neighborhood. At first, he walked around for a long time until he could give right directions. And he worked harder to study Chinese every night.
Being a foreigner speaking fluent Chinese and the only male in the volunteer group called “Aunties from Xicheng District”, Terry has been famous on the Internet. He has attracted many tourists who come just to take a photo with him. Some people ask him for directions, and a lot of time he is asked to take photos.
He says. “The spirit of volunteering is you get more than what you give in a way. I love volunteering because I love doing things for people. I also want to make people happy.” He thinks it’s like throwing a stone into the river and then you have little waves. Then happiness can be given to other people.
Volunteering is a sure sign of an advanced and civilized society. According to a survey, there are over 129,000 community voluntary groups, 10.72 million volunteers like Crossman. They have volunteered for 23.88 million hours. Volunteers are serving the world beyond borders (国界).
