Smart phones are the main invention of modern technology, which are completely part of our daily lives. If we look at our society, we can see that all kinds of people are using smart phones. ___36___, I would like to suggest that all smart phones in the family should be put away for sixty to ninety minutes each evening.

①  Have you ever shown your photos on your favorite social media (媒体)? Or have you expressed your feelings and emotions on your online page? If yes, do you know what you have posted on the social medias can cause problems you could not expect?

② Cathy, who is going to be fifteen, posted online an invitation to her birthday party with her address in it. And guess what! 500 people came to the party, and some even broke the windows and plants, making a total mess of the house. The girl’s birthday party tuned into a nightmare (噩梦).

③ Many teenagers (青少年) think they know everything about social media, and that such a thing could never happen to them. Studies show that each year more than three million young people in the world get into trouble because of their online activities.

④ So do remember these if you really want to share something online.

⑤ Share with care! Not everyone will like what you write online. Think before you post anything. You never know who sees your texts, pictures or videos. Before clicking “post”, you should ask yourself, “How will I feel if my family or teachers see this?” and “How might this post be bad for me in five or ten years from now?”

⑥ Be polite when you write! Imagine someone is unfriendly in real life. The same is true of online communication. No one likes it when you “shout” in your messages. If you feel angry or frustrated while you’re writing a message, wait a bit. Read it again later and then send it.

⑦ Protect and respect! Never share your passwords with anyone. It’s not wise to post your home or email address online. Don’t say bad things about people. If you get messages like that or see them online, talk to your parents or your teachers.

⑧ I’d say none of these things promises 100% online safety, but each will help you to be safer.

49. The writer starts to introduce the topic by _____________.

A. telling stories  B. giving examples  C. asking questions  D. sharing experiences

50. The party turned into a nightmare because Cathy _____________.

A. made a total mess of the house.   B. shared the photos of her house online

C. Invited hundreds of people to her party  D. posted an invitation with her address online

A. draw the readers’ attention    B. give orders that readers should follow

C. express the strong feelings of worry  D. give the decisions that have been made

52. What does the writer mean by saying the last sentence?

A. You should spend much less time online.

B. It’s necessary to think before you act online.

C. You have to make a promise before you go online.

D. If you want to be safer online, do as the writer suggests.

C

From tiny seeds (种子), great discoveries grow. A mini-garden carried on China’s Chang’e 4 moon lander recently became home to the first plant to grow on another world.

This is yet another success for Chang’e 4. On January 2, the probe (探测器) became the first lander to touch down on the far side of the moon. This is the unknown face of the moon that is always looking away from us, so we never see it from down here on the earth. Although it is often regarded as the dark side of the moon, the far side actually gets as much sunshine as the near side. For example, when all we can see is a silver of a new moon, the far side of the moon is in full sunlight.

Part of Chang’e 4’s mission (使命) is to see how a moon base could be built for humans, including exploring (探索) whether humans could grow food and other plant products there. Change’4 carried a mini-garden with air, water and soil with seeds planted in it. When plants shoot on the earth, their stems grow away from the gravity (the force that keeps your feet on the ground) and so they always shoot upwards. The moon’s gravity is a sixth as strong as the earth’s, so Chang’e 4’s experiment was a test: would the earth plants know which way was up on the moon? Four days after landing, a tiny cotton shoot showed that they do.

Night has now fallen on the far side of the moon; sunlight will not return until the start of February. As a result, the cotton shoots died. Besides the darkness, the plants can’t stand the cold (it can drop to -170 ℃ on the moon at night). However, the experiment is a success, since it has proved that it is possible for plants to grow in space.

53. The passage is mainly about _____________.

A. another success for Change’4    B. Chang’e 4 moon lander

C. tiny seeds in the soil     D. the steps of an experiment

54. Which of the following is TRUE about Chang’e 4?

A. It explored the moon base.    B. It landed on the near side of the moon.

C. It found plants on the moon.   D. It carried a mini-garden.

55. According to the passage we can know that _____________.

A. the far side of the moon gets less sunlight

B. the earth plants know the way to grow on the moon

C. we can see the far side of the moon from the earth

D. the stems fail to grow away from the earth’s gravity

56. What can be inferred (推理) from the passage?

A. Plants can be grown on the moon soon.

B. It is perfect to do experiments on the moon.

C. The cotton shoots can last days on the moon.

D. We can see a new moon at the start of February.

D

I was pleased at running away from Long John Silver though I knew he was still somewhere nearby on the island.

As I was trying to find a safer place to hide myself, I heard some men talking close by. It was Silver and Tom.

“I want you with me!” Silver shouted, “when we have the treasure, there’s gold for you too.” “No,” cried Tom, “I told you. I’m not a murderer. You’re guilty, all of you!” Sadly, these were the last words of Tom. It was a gunshot, Silver’s gun.

I moved away quickly and quietly. I ran fast not thinking about the direction I was taking. Suddenly, I saw a figure move quickly from tree to tree. What it was, whether a bear or a man or a monkey? Silver himself appeared less terrible to me now.

As the figure was getting closer to me. It was a man. “Who are you?” I asked.

“Ben Gunn,” he answered.” “I’m poor Ben Gunn, and I haven’t spoken with a man these three years. Who are you, mate” “Jim,” I told him.

“Now, Jim, tell me is that Flint’s ship?” he asked in fear, pointing to the ship which I ran away from.

“No, and Flint is dead. But there are some of Flint’s hands aboard.”

“Not a man... with one.…. leg?” Ben asked in a tremulous voice, with his pale face and scared eyes.

“You mean Silver? He once worked as a cook on the ship.” I added. “Now, he is also on the island to find Flint’s treasure. He wants to kill us and take over the ship!”

“Good boy,” he said, “I was on Flint’s ship when he buried (埋) the treasure, he and six strong seamen. But, when he returned, he himself alone, and the six all died. How he made it, not a man except him could make out. It was a battle, a murder, and a sudden death ---- him against six.”

Suddenly, the noise of explosions (爆炸) stopped our talking.….

六、阅读填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）

A)  阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后76-85小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填1个单词。

The folk art form, kuaiban, which has a long history, can be performed by a group or a single person. With one or two pairs of bamboo clappers ---- a kind of traditional Chinese musical instrument in their hands, the performers tell stories in the local dialect (方言). These stories are usually folk tales or about social life.

Recently, Liu Jiming and Wan Yifu made and shared three short videos by using

kuaiban which were viewed about 4 million times. As a result, Liu and Wan have gained more than 1 million followers on the Internet. They’ve created many new works to raise people’s awareness. Some of their works are about the danger of drunken driving and food safety. They also write stories to show respect to people who make contributions, such as traffic policemen.

According to Liu and Wan, people can understand kuaiban pieces without difficulty. The stories told kuaiban pieces are close to people’s daily lives. Thus, they consider that it is a fun way to introduce the Chinese folk culture through kuaiban. And what matters to them is that both young people and old people begin to know the charm of the art form, kuaiban, which may not be paid much attention to, compared to other traditional art forms.

Folk art forms, like xiangsheng, pingshu and kuaiban, share something in common. These traditional art forms show the beauty and value of traditional Chinese culture so they should be known by more people and get to more areas. Luckily, through the Internet, new performers who go on sharing kuaiban pieces like Liu and Wan are playing an active role. Hopefully these Chinese folk art forms will be alive with the times.
