How would you like to build a time machine? Paper, sticks, glue and string are all you need．Put them together to build a kite．A kite connects you to the past．

No one knows who flew the first kite．It was probably someone in China or perhaps Indonesia．Indonesia．Indonesian fishermen hung fishhooks on kites and sent them out to sea to catch fish．Starting 2,000years ago, Chinese farmers flew kites to welcome the New Year and bring good luck to Earth．

In China, people also used kites during wartime．One Chinese story tells how soldiers put noise makers on kites and flew them at night over the enemy camp．The enemies were frightened by the noise and ran away．

About 1,300 years ago, Chinese travelers took kites to Japan．Soon kites filled the skies there．Kites reached Thailand about 700 years ago．During floods, Thai farmers flew kites over their fields They hoped the kites would drive away the clouds and stop the rain．Over time, kites flew their way out of Asia．Today, kites are a passion all over the world．Kite fans meet at festivals in many parts of the world and have great fun．

Over the years,Kites have also helped people understand the natural world．In 1749, for example, thermometers were tied to kites to measure temperatures．In 1906, cameras hanging from kites took pictures of San Francisco, California after an earthquake．The photos helped people plan what to do．

Kites also helped inventors find out how to make airplanes．The Wright brothers studied how kites flew, which helped them make the first successful airplane．

Since the ancient Chinese first set their kites into the air,people have loved flying kites．Kites give us ways to celebrate, relax and explore．So go fly a kite! Enjoy the feeling of wonder that kite flyers have felt for centuries．

How do you feel about nature? After spending hours indoors, do you feel better when you visit your local park? Most people think that nature is good for our bodies and brains．However, humans are spending more time inside and less time outside．For example, the number of visitors to Canada’s national parks is getting lower every year．And in countries such as the USA, only 10% of teenagers spend time outside every day．Many doctors feel that this is a problem in the twenty—first century．

As a result, some doctors are studying the connection between nature and health: one example of this is the work of Dr Matilda in Sweden．The doctor gave people a maths test．During the test, their heart rates (心率) were fast．After the test, one group of people sat in a 3D—virtual—reality (虚拟现实) room for fifteen minutes with pictures and sounds of nature．Their heart rates were slower than people’s in the other group．

The virtual touch with nature helped them feel more relaxed．Another good example of how nature is good for health comes from Canada．In Toronto, researchers studied 31,000 people living in the city．In general, they found that healthier people lived near parks．

Because of studies like these, some countries and cities want nature to be part of people’s everyday life．In Dubai (迪拜), for example, there are plans for a new shopping mall with a large garden so shoppers can relax outside with trees, plants and water．In Switzerland, “forest schools” are popular．Schoolchildren study their subjects in the forests and do lots of exercise outside．And South Korea (韩国) is another good example: it has new forests near its cities and around 13 million people visit these forests every year．So after building cities for so long, perhaps it’s now time to start rebuilding nature．

45．What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?

A．Teenagers’ problem in the 21st century．                 B．How much time we spend outdoors．

C．Visiting your local park．                                       D．Feeling about nature．

46．Match the countries or cities with the information and choose the right answer．

①the USA       a．Children study in the forests and do lots of activities outside．

②Dubai        b．About 13 million people visit new forests near its cities every year．

③Switzerland     c．A new shopping mall with a large garden will be built．

④South Korea     d．10% of teenagers spend time outside every day．

A．①—a ②—d ③—b ④—c                                      B．①—d ②—c ③—a ④—b

C．①—a ②—c ③—d ④—b                                      D．①—d ②—c ③—b ④—a

47．What do the results of the studies show?

A．More and more Canadians will live near parks．

B．The maths test is difficult and makes people nervous．

C．Nature can help people feel more relaxed and be healthier．

D．People’s heart rates get slower in a 3D—virtual—reality room．

C．People have lived in the cities for so long．             D．Nature should be part of people’s daily life．

Teens and kids are reading a lot less for fun, according to a recent report．

Although the decline(下降) in the past ten years is very surprising for teen readers, some data(数据) in the report shows that reading is still a big part of many children’s lives．

According to the report, the number or teens who hardly read has gone up from 8 percent to 25 percent today．The report data shows that kids’ reading ability remains almost the same．However, the amount of reading time has fallen, from about an hour every day to half an hour．

As for children’s e-reading, the report mentions little about its effects．But it says that many parents choose to control the time spent on e-books, mainly because they are worried about the increased screen time．After all, it is important to protect their kids’ eyes．

The most helpful part in the report is parents’ effects on their children．It shows that parents are examples and important guides for them in reading．If parents read more and find more time to read with their children, it turns out that their children actually read more often．

As summer vacation arrives, parents might take this chance to step in, make a reading list and enjoy the pleasant family reading time．

38．What do we know about children’s fun reading time?

A．It is much shorter．                                   B．It stays the same．

C．It is much longer．                                    D．It changes a little．

39．Why do many parents control e-reading?

C．It can harm kids’ health．                           D．E-books are a waste of money．

40．How should parents encourage children’s reading?

A．By making reading plans．                         B．By setting good examples．

C．By praising kids’ reading．                         D．By offering different books．

41．What’s the writing purpose of the last paragraph?

A．To prevent e-reading．                               B．To encourage family reading．

C．To advise family trips．                             D．To describe vacation pleasure．

Around the spring festival in 2014, he started listening to audiobooks (音频书)．After being a listener for two years, he decided to record himself reading books．Then, he posted his first audiobook Youth Will Not Return on Qingting in 2016．It was broadcast (广播) and listened to about 20 million times．

In China, each year we produce about 150 million tons of city waste according to a report．Where does the waste go? People usually burn or bury(埋)it．On the other hand, we receive waste from some developed countries．We get useful materials from it．What about the useless part? Still burned or buried．But is it a proper way?

Waste pollutes the environment, harms people’s health and causes animals to die．It also gets in the way of green and sustainable development．We can’t make money at the cost of the environment．We should leave clean water and green mountains to our next generations(一代人)．

China is getting really serious about waste now．

We are taking less waste from developed countries．From January 2018, China started to stop 24 kinds of waste coming into our country．And more laws and rules about dealing with waste have been made．Anyone who breaks the law will be punished．

China also tries to put waste into good use．One example is the waste electricity factories．They burn waste to make electricity in a green way．No harmful gases or water will get into the environment．

The Chinese government is encouraging people to do waste sorting(分类)．Cities like Shanghai, Chongqing and Beijing have their own sorting systems．More will join them soon．As President Xi Jinping said during a visit to Shanghai, waste sorting is a new fashion(时尚)．More and more people are forming the habit of separating their waste．

The opening of the Beijing—Zhangjiakou high-speed railway took place in December, 2019．The railway is a milestone in China’s railway development because it has used the latest technologies in railway building．

The railway is 174 kilometers long, with 10 stations．The stations are managed by one control center, which is described by China Railway Beijing Group — also known as CR Bejing — as an “intelligent (智能的) brain”．The center collects and shares the stations’ real-time information．“With the information, the workers in the center can control the stations’ lighting and temperature, monitor (监测) trains’ operation and deal with emergencies(紧急情况)．” said Zhu Dianping, from CR Beiing．

Zhu said some trains on the Bejing—Zhangjiakou line are “smart” as they provide 5G signals and wireless charging (无线充电) for passengers, as well as intelligent lighting．These trains can start and stop, open and close doors, and deal with emergencies themselves．

All the ten stations provide e-ticket services．Travelers who have bought tickets online can use their ID cards instead of waiting in line for paper tickets．

At Qinghe Railway Station in Beijing, China’s first visual remote ticket vending machine (远程可视售票机) has been installed (安装) to help passengers who are not able to afford tickets online．Passengers keep in touch with the conductor through the machine and buy tickets according to video instructions．

In addition, the Badaling Great Wall Station, the deepest underground railway station in China, is another great example of the country’s achievements in railway building．

I think there are several reasons that suggest developing robots is a waste of money．

In San Diego recently $325,000 was spent on inventing a robotic squirrel to do some scientific experiments．The research proved that squirrels are able to scare away snakes by wagging (摇动) their tails．Do you need a robotic squirrel to work this out?

What about AIBO, a robotic pet, developed in Japan? In Japanese aibou means “buddy”．These pets have been developed at huge cost mainly to provide entertainment．They’ve been used in movies and music videos．Universities have used them for educational purposes．However, in 2006 the company stopped producing these robotic pets in order to save money．Was it worth a lot of money?

Then there’s NAO, a robot which has been developed by a French company．Its main purpose is to make life easier for humans．It speaks 19 languages and has its own personality．It can tell children a story, help in the classroom or the home, or act as a companion to those people who need someone to be with．A fully developed one costs $16,000．Is that value for money? Who can afford it anyway?

There may be good reasons why it is worth developing robots, but so far I haven’t thought of any．

27．What does the underlined word “companion” in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese?

A．公司                            B．机构                            C．对手                            D．伙伴

28．What is the true fact about the robots mentioned?

A．The robotic squirrel is needed by every scientist to do some research．

B．AIBO wasn’t made any more because it only provided entertainment．

C．A fully developed NAO may tell kids stories in different languages．

D．All the three types of robots used to be produced at a very low cost．

29．What does the writer think of developing robots?

A．It can help bring people a lot of fun．                     B．It has advantages in many ways．

C．It may be useful but costs too much．                      D．It is worth a great deal of money．

Is there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain．

A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability．As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room．The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training．The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly．

Musicians hear better, says study leader Nina Kraus, because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds．For example, when the violinists play in an orchestra（管弦乐队）, they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore(忽视)the other sounds．In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise．

Gotfried Schlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风)patients．

Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, addresses, or other information normally However, they can till sing．Dr．Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak．Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure．Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts．In some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again．

So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways．Playing an instrument or singing, says Nina Kraus, can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older．

24．What were the people in the first group asked to do in the study of Northwestern University?

A．Listen to different kinds of music．              B．Make some noise in an empty room．

C．Give the second group musical training．          D．Find out what the talking person was saying．

25．The writer uses the example of violinists in Paragraph 3 to explain________．

A．how musicians play in an orchestra               B．how musicians ignore certain sounds

C．why musicians have better hearing ability          D．why musicians are not afraid of loud noise

26．Gottfried Schlaug helps his stroke patients speak by________．

A．playing music for them                         B．getting them to sing words

C．teaching them to play instruments                D．joining the bad parts of their brain

27．What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce different ways of playing music．

B．To give some advice about making our brain active．

C．To show the relationship between music and language abilities．

D．To share the results of recent studies on treating stroke patients．
