Dear Daniel,
I'm so glad to receive your e-mail. It has been three months since we met last time. The
world is changing fast and me too.
I used to spend much time playing computer games and get low marks in my study. In
order to change this, I have returned the mobile phone to my parents and now it only takes me
about one hour to play games at weekends.
Besides, I prefer to read different kinds of books in my spare time. It’s self-evident that
good books can broaden my horizons and enrich my knowledge. Therefore, I consider the
books about adventures written by world-famous writers, for example, Tom Sawyer is good to
read. Every day, I spend at least one hour and a half in reading.
In order to form the good habit of reading, I decide to spend half an hour reading after
dinner every day. Just as an old saying goes, “No pain, no gain.” and I hope to develop this
habit and stick to it. What is believed with certainty is that knowledge changes fate and reading
improves life. Then I’m sure that I will be better in the future.
See you soon!
Yours faithfully,
Millie

Dear Linda,
Your brother sounds like a very selfish person. But I want to know what makes him act this way. Since he seems to be doing this on purpose, maybe the only way to do with the problem is to try to find the cause.
I think your brother is probably hurt in some ways. Perhaps he feels unsafe because he is not a full part of the family. He could be displeased with your mother’s love for the rest of you over him.
It is wrong to fight anger with anger though you think it is a need to help your mother. I suggest you try to help your brother by treating him with more care and love. It must be hard for him to grow up in a family where his sisters have their real mother but he doesn’t. Try to let him know that you care about him. With time he may come to know how lucky he is and start to treat you all with the same kindness that you give him.
Yours Truly
Sue Clarke

A. the brother has no sisters in the family

Our lives have become mare digital(数字的) in the modern world. We can study, find information and chat with friends through computers and phones. However, spending a lot of time working, reading, texting and gaming through digital devices(设备) is bad for our eyes.
According to the American Optometric Association, 70 to 75 percent of computer workers have eye problems.
Digital eyestrain(眼睛疲劳) is one of the most common problems. People with digital eyestrain may get headaches, dry and red eyes, eye pain and other problems.
These problems have started to increase among children. "Children get cellphones at younger ages and are using them very often during the day," Sarah Hinkley, spokeswoman(女发言人) for the American Optometric Association, told USA Today.
The good news is that there are many things you can do to reduce digital eyestrain.
When using a computer, first sit in your chair and reach out your arm. Your hand should rest comfortably on the screen, as if you're high-fiving the screen. Increase text size until your eyes feel comfortable.
When you are using a mobile phone, keep it at least 34 cm from your eyes and just below eye level. Try not to use it under sunlight.
Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet( about 6 meters) away.
34.What can we know from Sarah Hinkley
A. Children can easily get eyestrain. B. Many children are experiencing digital eyestrain.
C. Children mustn’t use cellphones. D. Using cell phones can cause many problems.
35. When we use phones, we should .
A. keep them close to our eyes B. turn off the lights
C. use them under sunlight D. keep them just below eye level
36. The story gives advice on .
a. how to use computers safely b. how to use phones safely
c. when to take breaks from electronic devices d. how to clean your eyes
A. acd B. abd C. abc D. bcd

One day, three of my friends came to our house.
They told me they wanted to go to Africa. They asked me if I wanted to go with them. I said, "Yes, I want to go with you."
We started to prepare all the necessary things for the journey. Soon we were ready to go. I said goodbye to my wife and we started our journey. Our plan was to be back in two months.
We left Brazil on the first of September, 1655. Our ship was very big but we were only seventeen men. The ship was full of things for business. We had cups, glass, mirrors, knives and other products.
At the beginning of our journey the weather was very good, but very hot. In one week, a hurricane(飓风) came and it was threatening(威胁) our ship for the next twelve days. After the hurricane passed, we saw we went quite far from our original(原来的) journey and were instead close to the northern part of Brazil near the Orinoco River. The ship was badly damaged(损坏) , so we could no longer go to Africa.
The captain wanted us to go back and repair the ship, but I strongly disagreed with him. We went over the maps and decided the best thing to do was to go to Barbados and repair the ship there.
When we started this short trip, a second hurricane came. The next morning one of the sailors cried out, "Land " and at that moment the ship stopped in shallow(浅的) water. We expected the ship to break apart(分离) at any moment because of the strong wind, so we all got into the small boat the ship carried. This was very dangerous because the seventeen of us were crowded(拥挤的) in the boat, and it had no sail.
The waves were very big. The wind was extremely strong. The wind pushed us to big rocks. We knew the crash was close.
Suddenly, a huge wave appeared and overturned(翻掉) the boat. I was covered with water and couldn't breathe. I couldn't see the others or the boat. But I saw a little beach between the rocks.
Another wave carried me to the beach. I tried to get up. I tried to go further from the sea. I was able to move ten metres up. I was safe. But my arms and legs were very weak. I fell down and I was lying on the beach.
37. Why did the writer and his friends go to Africa .
A. To earn some money. B. To leave their wives.
C. To move house to Africa. D. To travel around Africa.
38. What did they do after the first hurricane passed
A. They had to go back to the place where they started.
B. They headed for the nearest place to repair their ship.
C. They studied the map and found a new way to Africa.
D. They lost their way on the sea and gave up their ship.
39. Which is NOT the reason for the boat becoming dangerous
A. No sail. B. Shallow water. C. Big waves. D. Crowded men.
40. Which of the following shows the right order of the event
① The ship changed the direction after the hurricane.
② All the men escaped to the boat but it turned over.
③ The writer was washed up on tile beach by a wave.
④ The ship left Brazil with seventeen men on board.
⑤ The strong wind almost broke the ship into pieces.
A.④⑤①②③ B.④①②⑤③ C.④①⑤②③ D.④②①⑤③

九、阅读表达 (共3小题;70题1分、71题2分、72题3分,满分6分)
阅读下面的短文并用英语回答问题,并将答案写在答题卷上标有题号的横线上。
Cats or Dogs! These can be fighting words, depending on who you're talking to.
Clearly, there are dog people and there are cat people. Dog people prefer(更喜欢) dogs and think they are "man's best friends", while cat people like cats because they think cats are elegant and independent. Sometimes the two groups even argue with each other.
Dogs seem to be winning the battle. An Associated Press poll(民意调查) in 2018 showed that people in the US liked dogs more than cats. As much as 74 percent said they liked dogs"a lot" but only 41 percent said the same thing about cats. The 2018 White Paper on China's Pet Industry also showed that there were around 11 million more dog owners than cat owners in Chinese cities.
However, cats seem to get more attention online. There are even some new slang terms to refer to them. Cats are described as "masters"(喵主子). Even those who don't have pet cats are doing something called "cloud cat petting"("云吸猫"), which refers to(指) viewing pictures and videos of cats online.
An article in The Guardian pointed out that dog owners usually go outside to play with their pets or their neighbors' dogs. But since cats are mainly indoor animals, they are more likely to stay at home. The Internet has become a virtual(虚拟的) "cat park"for cat owners.
But it doesn't really matter if you prefer cats or dogs. Having a connection with any animal can make us feel good.
What do cat people think of cats (1分)
How do people without pet cats do something called "cloud cat petting" (2分) 
 
Do you prefer cats or dogs Why (3分)
