21、   Dolphins are one of the cleverest animals in the world. We may hear of many stories about how dolphins save people out of water.

Dolphins often eat fish and some other sea animals. A dolphin with a weight of 200kg to 250kg will eat 10kg to 25kg of fish every day. They like to swim with other dolphins and usually hunt in groups.

Dolphins have very good hearing. They use it to find things under the water. Many scientists also believe dolphins can even talk to each other through a special whistle (哨声). People from different areas don’t speak the same language. Just like people, dolphins’ whistles have many kinds. One day we may understand dolphins’ whistles, and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.

Dolphins live in the sea, but they are not a kind of fish and they don’t lay eggs. They have babies in the same way as cows and cats do, and give their babies milk. A female dolphin has a baby every two to three years.

Dolphins are very friendly. Sadly, there are not many kinds of dolphins left. People killed them for many years for food and other things. Now it’s time to stop this and perhaps there will be more of them in the years to come.

【1】If a dolphin weighs 240kg, how much of fish may it eat every day?

A.5kg. B.16kg. C.30kg. D.35kg.

【2】How do dolphins find things under the water?

A.By taste. B.By smell. C.By hearing. D.By touch.

【3】What can’t dolphins do according to this passage?

A.Save people out of water. B.Talk to each other.

C.Give babies milk. D.Lay eggs.

【4】Which of the following is not right?

A.Dolphins are a kind of fish. B.Dolphins eat fish and some other sea animals.

C.People may understand dolphins’ whistles some day. D.Dolphins usually hunt in groups.

【5】Which is the best title for the passage?

A.What dolphins eat B.Where dolphins live

C.How dolphins are swimming D.Something about dolphins

22、Is gaming good or bad?

If you are a kid who enjoys playing video games, you must have argued with your parents at least once about the impact of gaming. Your parents might say that video games are bad for you. They may worsen your eyes, lower your academic performance, and could lead to health problems. As a kid, you probably argue that video games allow you to socialize with your friends, improve your coordination (协调) and memory, and even give you a way to make money through streaming platforms. Could you both be right?

One study of game players showed that 35 percent of high school and college students have missed school or work because of games. Some other studies have shown that playing video games leads to poor concentration in school or at work. In my seventh-grade science fair study, elementary and high school kids playing games had lower test accuracy, slower reflexes (条件反射), less pain awareness and lower response times to threatening sounds during and after having played video games.

On the other hand, a study conducted by Cheryl Olson interviewed 1,000 public school students and found that video games can help kids develop problem-solving skills, make friends, show leadership, and spark creativity. They can also be highly educational, because some games involve problem-solving skills or teach things like history, geography, or culture.

So, I bet you’re wondering ... should I play video games or not? Who is right?

I think kids and parents can both win this argument. How? Most of the negative impacts of video games happen when kids play for too long, so play moderately (适度地). Here’s how to do that.

First, talk with your parents and take breaks from your gaming to help around the house or to get some fresh air. Second, try to find video games that are both fun and educational. Third, if you wear a headset to play, take it off every few minutes or leave one ear free so you can hear your surroundings. Fourth, there are also many games that get you up out of your seat. Finally, find some games that you can play with your parents, and you just might surprise them with how enjoyable they are. They may end up having more fun than you!

What do you think? Are the good things about video games enough to outweigh the bad?

【1】What’s the main idea of paragraph 1?

A．The reasons why playing games is bad for kids.

B．Parents and kids hold different opinions towards video games.

C．Playing games can cause arguments between parents and their children.

D．A story about kids’ arguing with their parents about playing video games.

【2】Cheryl Olsen’s study is mentioned to ________.

A．express the author’s attitude towards playing video games

B．show the negative impact playing video games can have

C．show the positive impact playing video games can have

D．share the findings of the latest research about video games

【3】According to the article, what is NOT the disadvantages video games bring to kids?

A．They may cause harm to kids’ eyesight.

B．They may make kids difficult to focus on study.

C．They may damage kids’ coordination and memory.

D．They may put kids in danger because of less response time.

【4】The author is most likely to support ________.

A．playing educational games without breaks

B．always wearing a headset when playing games

C．playing active games which parents can take part in

D．remaining seated the whole time while leaving one ear free from your headset

23、Do you feel you have enough time to do all the things you have to do or want to do? How do you think you could plan your day better? A daily schedule will help you plan every part of it. If you learn to plan your time, you probably feel less worried. Here is how to do it.

1. Take out a piece of paper and a ruler. Draw a form of your waking hours and use one square (正方形) for each half an hour. If you’re awake for 16 hours each day, you will need 32 squares： 8 across, 4 down.

2. Sit down and check your day. Make a list of all the things you need to do. Think about when you should do them.

3. Fill out your schedule.

4. Remember to give yourself time to rest. If doing all of your homework at one time is too much, plan a little bit of free time in the middle of it.

5. If you have an important event that falls right in the middle of your evening, change other activities around it.

6. Think about using different colored pens for your different activities. In this way, you’ll clearly know how your day is planned out.

【1】The underlined word “schedule” means ______ in Chinese.

24、   Everyone is good at something, but some people are truly talented. It's always interesting to watch other people show their 【1】. Talent shows are getting more and more popular. First, there were shows like American Idol and America's Got Talent. Now, there are 【2】 shows around the world, such as China's Got Talent.

All these shows have one thing in 【3】: they try to look for the best singers, the most talented dancers, the most exciting magicians, the 【4】 actors and so on. All kinds of people join these shows. But who can play the piano the 【5】 or sing the most beautifully? That's up to you to decide. When people watch the show, they usually play a role in 【6】 the winner. And the winner always gets a very good prize.

However, not everybody enjoys watching these shows. Some think that the lives of the 【7】 are made up. For example, some people say they are poor farmers, but in fact they are just actors. However, if you don't take these shows too 【8】, they are fun to watch. And one great thing about them is that they give people a way to make their dreams come true.

25、根据所给要求，写一篇80词左右的短文

下面是一位中学生以Tired and Lonely为名给本市的中学生心理咨询室写的一封信。请你仔细阅读，并就信的内容以心理辅导老师Help的名义给这位中学生回一封信。

Dear Help,

I’m a tired and lonely boy. I am 14 years old. I find the older I grow, the more pressure I get and the less happiness I have. My biggest problem is about my after-school classes. My parents ask me to take some after-school classes and do many extra (额外) exercises to improve my study. I don’t have any time to do what I like. Besides extra classes and homework, I also have to do some chores like making my bed, washing the dishes every day. I hate doing them. I am so tired to finish them. What’s worse, I am so shy that I can’t get along with my classmates. Most of time I just keep silent in class. Should I do the things? How can I become happy and popular?

Tired and Lonely
