1、 Beijing is the capital of China. It is an excellent city to visit. (71)Thousands of people will fall in love with Beijing as soon as they arrive in Beijing. There are many places of interest in Beijing, such as the Palace Museum, the Summer Palace and the Great Wall. (72) 你曾去过长城吗? It’s a wonder in the world as well as in China. Also, the food in Beijing is delicious, especially Beijing Duck.
Most large cities have zoos, so does Beijing. But Beijing has a zoo where you can go at night. (73) It seems strange to go to a zoo when it is dark. However, if you go to see lions, tigers or foxes during the day, they’ll probably be asleep. A lot of animals only wake up at night. (74) So this is the best time to watch the animals.
One great thing about Beijing is that there are many people coming from different countries. They speak different languages. You can learn a lot when you work and live with them in Beijing.
I like Beijing very much. (75) 某天去那里是我的梦想。

22、It might be fun to use your smartphone, but be careful. Too much screen time may be harmful to your health.
First, it is bad for your eyes. A researcher called Sarah Hinkley says the problem comes from the blue light that the screen gives out. Looking at a smartphone for a long time can cause eye strain(劳损), headaches and dry eyes. So it is a good idea to take a break every 15 minutes when you are working at a computer or using a smartphone.
Second, screen use can do harm to children’s brains. A new study shows that using screens too much can affect(影响) how children’s brains grow. If children use screens for more than one hour a day, they might have lower levels of white matter in their brains. White matter is a key to the development of language and reading skills. So it is wise to cut down the time of children using all kinds of screens.
Third, using screens too much will affect your sleep. According to a study, about 95% of the people between the ages of 13 and 64 use electronics before bed, especially the young people under 20. Doctors say that the light from those electronics at night may make you excited before you go to bed. Then it’s hard for you to get enough sleep. So you’d better turn off smartphones, TVs, and all other screens an hour before your bedtime.
To keep healthy, doctors and researchers strongly advise that you shouldn’t use screens for long hours.
【1】The blue light from your screens can cause ________.
A.eye strain
B.headaches
C.dry eyes
D.A, B & C
【2】According to the passage, you can’t sleep well because you ________.
A.take a break every 15 minutes
B.have lower levels of white matter
C.use screens too much before bedtime
D.are the people from 13 to 64
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Using smartphones for long hours does harm to your eyes.
B.A lot of screen time affects children’s brain growth.
C.The light from electronics at night may make you excited.
D.People of all ages mustn’t use electronics.
【4】You may read the passage in ________.
A.a magazine
B.a travel diary
C.a guidebook
D.a novel
【5】What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The ways to keep healthy.
B.The harm of using screens too much.
C.The ways to use screens.
D.The advantages of using screens.
23、 Thanksgiving Day was near. A first grade teacher gave her class a fun task——to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Most of the students didn’t come from rich families, but many would still celebrate the holiday with turkey and other traditional customs(习俗). These, the teacher thought, would be the subjects of most of the students’ art. And they were, for the most part.
But one student named Douglas drew a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was often sad. While other children would play with each other during break time, he would stand closely by his teacher's side. There was pain behind his sad eyes. But what was it? One could only guess.
Yes, his picture was different. He drew a hand. Nothing else. Just an empty hand.
Other children started to guess whose hand it could be. One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because police keep people safe. And so the discussion went on.
Finally the teacher walked over to Douglas'desk, bent down and asked him whose hand it was.
The little boy looked away and said, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She recalled(回想起) the times when she had taken his hand and walked with him here or there, and times when shed said things like “Take my hand Douglas, we’ll go outside” or “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.”
Douglas was most thankful for his teacher's hand.
【1】The teacher started this task to____________
A.see which students were from rich families.
B.help students remember to be thankful.

D.show that some traditions are out of date.
【2】What do we know about the boy____________.
A.Nobody wanted to be his friend B.The teacher didn't let him play
C.There were problems with his eyes D.Nobody knew why he was sad
【3】What did the boy draw?
A.A turkey B.A farmer C.A police officer D.An empty hand
【4】With his picture, the boy tried to____________
A.show that he had a talent for drawing B.show that he liked Thanksgiving
C.express his thanks for his teacher D.help the teacher set up a discussion
24、Hello, everyone. I’m Nancy. Some of my classmates said that they were busy going to school and doing their homework after school, and they even couldn’t play on weekends. They felt very tired and some of them even got sick (生病的). I am busy, too. But I still have time to relax and exercise. Do you know why? Making a plan helps me a lot. Every Sunday, I make plans for the next week. Now take my “Monday Plan” for example.
Monday Plan | |
Wake up, get ready for school | 7:00 a.m.-7:20 a.m. |
Breakfast | 7:20 a.m. |
School | 8:00 a.m.-3:00 p.m. |
Homework | 4:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m. |
Dinner | 5:30 p.m. |
Exercise (swimming and playing football) | 6:00 p.m.-7:15 p.m. |
Shower | 7:45p.m.-8:00 p.m. |
TV (Children’s Program) | 8:15 p.m.-9:00 p.m. |
Bedtime | 9:15 p.m. |
I think everyone can enjoy his free time if he has a good plan. But remember: once you make a plan, you must follow it. If there’s still something you can’t understand (理解), write to me. I’ll be very happy to help you. My email address is Matthew9805@hotmail.com.

25、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺,每空格限填一词,首字母已给)
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. There is an old Chinese saying: “A scholar need not leave his home to know what’s going on in the world.” Reading newspapers is, in my opinion, a must for a modern person. But how do newspaper e【1】 decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much f【2】 than newspapers. However, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print c【3】 different stories from those on TV.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and s【4】 to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.
Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more people p【5】 to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the f【6】 page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.
Today, with so many newspapers and so many television and Internet sites, people can get their news quickly. Many newspapers have lost so many r【7】, so they have been forced to close.
