Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-55 s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”
Interestingly, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the site - only 2.2 million users are under 17 -but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,’ she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. ”We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.”
Parents have an important role to play if they want their kids to spend more time in real life. Peter, 38, who spends most of his time in front of a screen, is recently determined to set a better example to his kids. In the evening or at weekends, he would leave his smartphone home and take his kids out to nature.
4. What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A. Older people have difficulty using social media.
B. Children spend more time with their grandparents.
C. More and more elderlies begin to use social media.
D. Social media have become more friendly to the elderly.
5. How does Sheila feel about social media
A. Worried. B. Satisfied. C. Excited. D. Disappointed.
6. What can be concluded from the passage
A. People tend to have less social life as they get older.
B. Young people are getting away from their smartphone.
C. More young people choose to meet their friends in person.
D Social media actually help old people to meet their friends.
7. What’s the best title for this passage
A. Different Online Habits Across Generations B. The Good Old Days Without Smartphones
C. The Next Generation of Social Media D. The Use of Smartphones at School
C
Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo depend on bottles made of plastic or glass for their packaging. But as customers have become more worried about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.
Paper bottles have many advantages. They are easy to recycle and weigh less than glass or plastic bottles, meaning they’ll require less energy to produce and to move around.
A company called Paboco has been working with many large companies to develop paper bottles. Clearly, one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking (渗漏). Therefore, many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic. Though this liner can be taken away and recycled, many recycling programs don’t have the right machines to deal with these liners.
A Danish beer company called Carlsberg is working with Paboco on a paper bottle called the “Green Fiber Bottle”. In the future the company hopes to use a “bio-plastic” that will break down naturally over time. A company named Diageo has just announced the first paper bottle that’s completely plastic-free. Instead of a plastic liner, a non-plastic coating will be used on the inside of the bottles. This should make the bottle fully recyclable. Diageo says they’ll use the bottle with their whiskey in 2023.
However, there’s still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic panies will need to see how long liquids can be stored in the bottles, and make sure the bottles don’t influence the taste. But with so many companies working toward the same goal, it’s likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.
8. What forces many companies to develop paper bottles
A. The cost of making plastic or glass bottles.
B. The customers’ caring about the environment.
C. The energy needed to produce ordinary bottles.
D. The difficulty in shaping the plastic or glass bottles.
9. Why are plastic liners used inside the bottles
A. To make them easy to recycle. B. To make bottles reusable.
C. To prevent liquid from escaping. D. To lower the production cost.
10. What can we infer about the making of paper bottles
A. Non-plastic coatings may be hard to recycle.
B. Paper bottles can’t go without a plastic liner.
C There’s still a long way to go to reach the goal.
D Not all paper bottles are better than glass bottles.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Traditional Bottles or Paper Bottles
B. Companies Work to Develop Paper Bottles
C. Paper Bottles Are Getting Increasingly Popular
D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Paper Bottles
D
As humans encroach (侵入) more and more on wildlife habitats, animals are finding that the best way to survive isn’t to pack up and move—it’s to adapt to the night life. A variety of previously daytime animals such as foxes, deer and boars have become active at night to avoid human activity out of fear. But this nighttime switch comes with its own risks.
Researchers looked at how 62 species of animals on six continents changed their behavior in response to human activities such as hunting, farming, and development. The studies employed various technologies to follow the animals, from GPS trackers to motion-activated cameras.
Once night falls, the animals surveyed became far more active than they were before humans arrived, bunting and looking for food in the dark. For example, animals that used to split their activity evenly between day and night typically increased their nighttime activity to 68%.
The team also found the animals responded similarly to these human encroachments, regardless of whether human activity directly affected them. So, a deer might become more active at night simply because it sees humans hiking nearby, not because it’s being hunted.
The researchers believe these nighttime behaviors not only allow humans and animals to coexist more peacefully, they may be able to give us hints as to how to plan conservation efforts accordingly, such as limiting human activity during times when a specific species is more active. But moving to the nightlife could also have downsides for these animals. A nighttime lifestyle can reduce an animal’s ability to hunt and find food successfully and can even affect its ability to find a mate. Switching to a nighttime lifestyle can affect natural patterns of life even if these animals are doing so to reduce their interaction with humans. So, just because animals are becoming more active at night doesn’t mean they’ve escaped the influence of humans.
12. Why are animals becoming more active at night
A. It is easier to find food at night.
B. It is easier to escape being hunted.
C. They can be less affected by human.
D. They have got used to nightlife.
13. How did the researchers find the animals’ behavioral changes
A. They followed and watched the animals.
B. They used modern technologies.
C. They compared different animals.
D. They found more animals at night.
14. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A. Any human encroachment can affect animals.
B. Animals can be affected only when being hunted.
C. Deer can get used to nightlife easily.
D. Animals should stay away from humans.
15. Which word can possibly replace the underlined word in paragraph 5
A dangers B. strengths C. possibilities D. Disadvantages

The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地) forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could.

Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school she hasn’t heard from in forty years. ”We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,” she says. “It’s changed my social life completely.”
Parents have an important role to play if they want their kids to spend more time in real life. Peter, 38, who spends most of his time in front of a screen, is recently determined to set a better example to his kids. In the evening or at weekends, he would leave his smartphone home and take his kids out to nature.

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different. In the UK the over-5 5 s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.(如今，祖父母和孙辈都在使用社交媒体，但不同代人的上网习惯却截然不同。在英国，55岁以上的用户越来越多，这意味着他们很快将成为该网站的第二大用户群体，55-64岁的用户有350万，65岁以上的用户有290万)”可知，越来越多的老年人开始使用社交媒体。故选C。

That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”(59岁的希拉说：“我加入是为了看看我的孙子们在做什么，因为我的女儿上传了他们的视频和照片。这是一种比等待信件和照片更好的方式来了解他们在做什么。当我还是个孩子的时候，我们就是这样做的，但我觉得我很幸运，我能比我的祖父母看到更多他们的生活。”)”可推知，希拉对社交媒体感到满意。故选B。
【6题详解】

【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different generations’ online habits couldn’t be more different.(如今，祖父母和孙辈都在使用社交媒体，但不同代人的上网习惯却截然不同)”结合文章通过举例说明了老年人和他们的孙辈使用社交媒体的不同习惯，以及对社交媒体的看法。可知，A选项“几代人的上网习惯不同”最符合文章标题。故选A。
C
Companies which sell liquids like drinks or shampoo depend on bottles made of plastic or glass for their packaging. But as customers have become more worried about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.
Paper bottles have many advantages. They are easy to recycle and weigh less than glass or plastic bottles, meaning they’ll require less energy to produce and to move around.
A company called Paboco has been working with many large companies to develop paper bottles. Clearly, one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking (渗漏). Therefore, many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic. Though this liner can be taken away and recycled, many recycling programs don’t have the right machines to deal with these liners.
A Danish beer company called Carlsberg is working with Paboco on a paper bottle called the “Green Fiber Bottle”. In the future the company hopes to use a “bio-plastic” that will break down naturally over time. A company named Diageo has just announced the first paper bottle that’s completely plastic-free. Instead of a plastic liner, a non-plastic coating will be used on the inside of the bottles. This should make the bottle fully recyclable. Diageo says they’ll use the bottle with their whiskey in 2023.
However, there’s still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic panies will need to see how long liquids can be stored in the bottles, and make sure the bottles don’t influence the taste. But with so many companies working toward the same goal, it’s likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future.
8. What forces many companies to develop paper bottles
A. The cost of making plastic or glass bottles.
B. The customers’ caring about the environment.
C. The energy needed to produce ordinary bottles.
D. The difficulty in shaping the plastic or glass bottles.
9. Why are plastic liners used inside the bottles
A. To make them easy to recycle. B. To make bottles reusable.
C. To prevent liquid from escaping. D. To lower the production cost.
10. What can we infer about the making of paper bottles
A. Non-plastic coatings may be hard to recycle.
B. Paper bottles can’t go without a plastic liner.
C. There’s still a long way to go to reach the goal.
D. Not all paper bottles are better than glass bottles.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Traditional Bottles or Paper Bottles
B. Companies Work to Develop Paper Bottles
C. Paper Bottles Are Getting Increasingly Popular
D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Paper Bottles
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，鉴于许多顾客担忧环境问题，许多公司开始研发纸瓶子，并介绍了纸瓶子的优缺点以及发展前景。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“But as customers have become more worried about the environment, many companies have begun working to develop paper bottles.(但随着消费者越来越担心环境问题，许多公司开始开发纸瓶子)”可知消费者对环境的担心迫使许多公司开始开发纸瓶子。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二和三句“Clearly, one of the biggest challenges is keeping a paper bottle from leaking (渗漏). Therefore, many companies are lining their bottles with a thin sheet of plastic.(显然，最大挑战之一是防止纸瓶泄漏，因此许多公司正在用一层薄薄的塑料薄膜来内衬瓶子)”可知用一层薄薄的塑料薄膜来内衬瓶子是防止液体泄漏。故选C项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“However, there’s still lots of testing to be done before paper bottles can replace glass or plastic bottles.(然而，在用纸瓶子取代玻璃瓶或塑料瓶之前，仍需进行大量测试)”可知，要实现目标仍有很长的路要走。故选C项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文尤其是最后一段“ But with so many companies working toward the same goal, it’s likely that we can expect to see paper bottles on store shelves in the near future. (但随着这么多公司都在朝着同一个目标努力，我们很有可能在不久的将来看到纸瓶出现在商店的货架上)”可知，许多公司参与到纸瓶子的研发中。B项“众多公司致力于研发纸瓶”可以作为本文最佳标题。故选B项。
D
As humans encroach (侵入) more and more on wildlife habitats, animals are finding that the best way to survive isn’t to pack up and move—it’s to adapt to the night life. A variety of previously daytime animals such as foxes, deer and boars have become active at night to avoid human activity out of fear. But this nighttime switch comes with its own risks.
Researchers looked at how 62 species of animals on six continents changed their behavior in response to human activities such as hunting, farming, and development. The studies employed various technologies to follow the animals, from GPS trackers to motion-activated cameras.
Once night falls, the animals surveyed became far more active than they were before humans arrived, bunting and looking for food in the dark. For example, animals that used to split their activity evenly between day and night typically increased their nighttime activity to 68%.
The team also found the animals responded similarly to these human encroachments, regardless of whether human activity directly affected them. So, a deer might become more active at night simply because it sees humans hiking nearby, not because it’s being hunted.
The researchers believe these nighttime behaviors not only allow humans and animals to coexist more peacefully, they may be able to give us hints as to how to plan conservation efforts accordingly, such as limiting human activity during times when a specific species is more active. But moving to the nightlife could also have downsides for these animals. A nighttime lifestyle can reduce an animal’s ability to hunt and find food successfully and can even affect its ability to find a mate. Switching to a nighttime lifestyle can affect natural patterns of life even if these animals are doing so to reduce their interaction with humans. So, just because animals are becoming more active at night doesn’t mean they’ve escaped the influence of humans.
12. Why are animals becoming more active at night
A. It is easier to find food at night.
B. It is easier to escape being hunted.
C. They can be less affected by human.
D. They have got used to nightlife.
13. How did the researchers find the animals’ behavioral changes
A. They followed and watched the animals.
B. They used modern technologies.
C. They compared different animals.
D. They found more animals at night.
14. What can we infer from the fourth paragraph
A. Any human encroachment can affect animals.
B. Animals can be affected only when being hunted.
C. Deer can get used to nightlife easily.
D. Animals should stay away from humans.
15. Which word can possibly replace the underlined word in paragraph 5
A. dangers B. strengths C. possibilities D. Disadvantages
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着人类越来越多地侵入野生动物栖息地，动物们发现生存的最佳方式不是收拾行李搬家，而是要适应夜间生活。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“ A variety of previously daytime animals such as foxes, deer and boars have become active at night to avoid human activity out of fear. (狐狸、鹿、野猪等各种以往白天活动的动物，由于害怕人类活动而在夜间活动。)”可知，动物在夜间变得更加活跃的原因是因为此时它们受人类的影响较小。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“The studies employed various technologies to follow the animals, from GPS trackers to motion-activated cameras.(研究采用了各种技术来跟踪动物，从GPS跟踪器到运动激活相机。)”可知，研究人员使用现代技术发现这些动物的行为变化的。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“The team also found the animals responded similarly to these human encroachments, regardless of whether human activity directly affected them. (研究小组还发现，不管人类活动是否直接影响到它们，动物对这些人类侵犯的反应相似。)”可知，任何人类的侵犯都会影响动物。故选A项。
【15题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章最后一段“But moving to the nightlife could also have downsides for these animals. A nighttime lifestyle can reduce an animal’s ability to hunt and find food successfully and can even affect its ability to find a mate. Switching to a nighttime lifestyle can affect natural patterns of life even if these animals are doing so to reduce their interaction with humans. (但转向夜生活也可能给这些动物带来 。夜间生活方式会降低动物成功狩猎和觅食的能力，甚至会影响其寻找配偶的能力。转向夜间生活方式会影响自然生活模式，即使这些动物这样做是为了减少与人类的互动。)”可知，这里主要讲夜间生活给动物带来的“不利”，所以猜测downsides表“不利或者劣势”。故选D项。

考查非谓语动词。句意：数字时代也使我们能够找到与我们有共同兴趣的人，比如收集模型汽车或演奏一种不同寻常的乐器。enable sb. to do sth.是固定搭配，表示“使某人能够做某事”，所以空处应用动词不定式形式。故填to find。
【39题详解】

One summer, the neighborhood where she lived would hold a singing competition. Her best friend, Lucy, came to invite her to participate in the competition, but Emily said, “I’m afraid to take part in it.” Her mother said, “It’s okay; just do it bravely.” Emily followed her mama’s advice and decided to give herself a try. The day came. Emily and Lucy went to the competition site. But she was too timid (胆小的) to walk onto the stage. She had been waiting until others finished singing. She shakily (颤抖地) forced herself to stand on the stage. She started to sing, but her voice was so low. What’s worse, she was so nervous that she forgot the lyrics (歌词) after singing a few words. Being laughed at by others, embarrassed and shy, she ran away from the stage.
Some naughty boys ran after her and said, “Emily, coward (胆小鬼)! Emily, coward!” Emily didn’t argue with them. What she wanted was to go back home as quickly as she could.
注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为80左右: 2. 续写一段, 该段的开头语已为你写好。
