Sitting in front of the television may be relaxing, but spending too much time in front of it may takes years off your life. Watching less television may help you live a much longer life.
Australian researchers (研究人员) did a study with more than 11,000 people over the age of 25. Their study showed that if people watched TV for six hours a day, they lived about 4. 8 years less than those who didn’t watch any television. Also, people who are over the age of 25 lose 22 minutes of life for each hour of TV that they watch.
Sitting in front of the television isn’t healthy. The more TV you watch, the less exercise you’ll get. And the less exercise you get, the more likely it is that you’ll get sick.
Lennert Veerman, the researcher who led the study, says watching too much TV will influence people’s life expectancies (预期寿命), even for people who have a good eating habit. He thinks it’s reasonable for doctors to start asking their patients about how much TV they watch, as it can be an indicator (指标) of someone’s health.
As for this reason, Veerman thinks people should try to turn off the TV or even live without TV and get off the sofa to get some exercise. “Exercise is good,” he said. “Even light activity is good for health. ”
38. Australian researchers did a study and found ________.
A. the time of watching TV changes life expectancies B. the activities people do to relax in their free time
C. what people should do to make them live longer D. why the TV can change people’s life expectancies
39. According to the study, if a 35-year-old man watches TV for two hours, he will lose ________ of life.
A. 6 hours B. 4. 8 years C. 22 minutes D. 44 minutes
40. The underlined word “influence” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. 伤害 B. 影响 C. 导致 D. 危及
41. It is TRUE that ________ according to the passage.
A. fewer than 11,000 people are in the study
B. most people watched TV for six hours a day
C. going for a walk once a week can’t be good for health
D. too much TV is also bad for the people who eats well

Since September, many schools have more PE classes from three times a week to five or even more. This is in response to (响应) China’s new standard (标准) on PE classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes, third only to Chinese and math.
The standard not only asks students to do easy exercise, but also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do.
Ma Jiajun, 15, from Jilin, set a new world record for “the most consecutive jump rope triples (连续三摇跳绳)” with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on PE. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hard-working on not only jump rope but also other kinds of sports.
“At first tai chi was only needed during break time to show Chinese traditional culture, but students fell in love with it,” said Gao Yuxiang from a middle school of Shandong. Grade 8 students all need to do it, and there’s a tai chi competition every year for Grade 8 students. “Diferent from ball games, tai chi can make me relaxed and help me get ready for the next class,” said Gao.
“I really enjoy hip-hop dance,” Ren Jianing, a high school student, said, “The class doesn’t need any experience, so anyone can learn. ” Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together into a whole dance. “Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter,” said Ren.

① As Daddy’s only daughter, I knew what made my Daddy more wonderful than all the other fathers, I’d ever seen or heard of — his large hands.

That’s why I felt happy when the other students talked about my hairstyle. I kept it to myself for years. His hands could paint a second-band bike to look new. I got one on my tenth birthday. His hands could cook a delicious and colorful meal in minutes. I was always interested in watching his hands work. Even as I grew hungrier, I felt happy watching his hands.
③ Daddy’s creative hands were also useful and hard-working. They could fly a kite high in the sky as well as to get it down from the top of a tree. They could wash my white dress clean, which became my favorite one. To my surprise, those hands fed seven children after Mom died. It was his feelings that showed what he really was, far more than his abilities.
④ Not only were Daddy’s hands great, they could also send me a note full of love. When I was ill, he made me feel better. He would take a small blanket (毯子), warm it up and cover it around my small cold feet with his loving hands. They seemed to understand I was feeling terrible before I could cry. When I was worried about something, Daddy would often hand me a cup of hot milk and sat next to me. He would say, “The best is always to come, my dear.”

When Carolyn McDaniel gets up, his cat Buddy often comes in and meows. If McDaniel doesn’t understand him immediately, Buddy will be angry. McDaniel works at the animal research centre in New York. He is studying cats’ meow these days.
Listen to cats, and you’ll hear lots of sounds. Purring is a sign of a contented (满意的) cat. But cats purr when they’re in danger, too. Cats that hiss are not contented. They make the sound if they’re looking for food. However, chirr is a friendly greeting. Mother cats also chirr to call their children.
To understand cats’ language, McDaniel taped hundreds of cats’ meows in different situations. Then humans listened through headphones. People who were more familiar (熟悉的) with cats did better in understanding the meows. But even the cat owners got the right answers only about 30% of the time.
Why is it so difficult to understand cat’s meow Sam, who belongs to 15-year-old Jenna, makes a sound Meh-Meh when he sees birds outside. But 17-year-old Nick’s cat, Kitty, goes Mrak-Mrak in the same situation. Meows differ in the same situation. Still, cats themselves do all right at communicating their general feelings because they also use body language.
Now, McDaniel thinks that people would probably do much better in understanding cats’ meow with the help of videos, because we can see cats communicate (交流) a lot with body language: head position, eye contact, and even tail movement. “Body language can also be difficult to understand, but glad that we have found a new way at least,” says McDaniel.
14. When a cat is hungry, it may make the sound ________.
A. purr B. hiss C. chirr D. meh
15. What can we know from the passage
A. Cats owners can understand most of cat’s meows.
B. Cats have trouble communicating with each other.
C. Different sounds from cats may have the same meaning.
D. Body language makes it more difficult to understand cats’ meows.
16. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. a scientist who studies cats’ meow B. a study on understanding cats’ meow
C. a story between McDaniel and his cat D. a way to understand cats’ body language

It was the last day of the school year. The classroom was filled with excitement. When our teacher, Mr. Johnson, walked in, holding a CD player, everyone’s face lit up with a smile. We knew that this wasn’t going to be another normal day, but a special one.
“Please calm down and sit,” said Mr. Johnson, “I’m glad everyone’s here for the final reading test of the year.” When everyone cried, Mr. Johnson laughed, saying it was just a joke. Then he reminded us that we still had a job to do. “You need to clean out your desks and put all your things into your backpacks.” he added gently.
As we began our task, Mr. Johnson turned on the CD player. The lively music made the room feel like a party.

Even Mr. Johnson showed us a few dance steps, making everyone laugh heartily. After we finished cleaning, someone asked, “When is break time ” Mr. Johnson took out some balls and started playing with them. Suddenly, he let the balls drop and said, “Break time starts ... now!”
Just as we were about to rush out, our headmaster, Mrs. Miller, appeared at the door. “Mr. Johnson!” she cried out. A moment of silence fell over the room as we thought, “Mr. Johnson might be in trouble.” However, to our surprise, Mrs. Miller couldn’t help but laugh at the sight and left us to enjoy our break.
During break time, Mr. Johnson surprised us with another treat. He went to the cafe and came back with ice creams for everyone. We all cheered for him!

The race is on to get more electric cars on the road. People predict that electric cars might be more common in the future. But according to a 2021 survey by Pew Research Center, more than half of U, S, adults like gas-powered cars better. They say electric cars are expensive and charging (充电) them is a big problem. For now, most people plan to stick with gas-powered cars. We ask young readers what they think about electric cars.
Henry, 12 years old, San Francisco I think we should all have electric cars. This would cut down air pollution and allow us to breathe better. Cleaner air also means there will be fewer animals dying. Think of all the lives we have lost by destroying our environment. Some people think electric cars are pricey. But their prices are coming down. What’s more, gas costs a lot more than electricity. Once you use the gas, it’s gone. Anyway, I think we’re going to run out of gas at some point. This will make electric cars a need. Also, do you know that electric cars can travel 33 miles for about a dollar You can’t say that for gas. All cars should be electric!
Sandy, 13 years old, New York I don’t think all cars should be electric. First of all, charging stations are less common than gas stations. This makes electric cars a lot less convenient for long trips. What’s more, cold weather does harm to the batteries (电池). They can’t work well as usual. And electric cars are also more expensive than common cars. A new electric car usually costs around $ 11, 000 more than a new gar car. True, electric cars help slow climate change. But throwing batteries away can hurt our planet.
12. Over half of the American adults agree that electric cars ________ according to the survey.
A. have no problem in charging B. are bad for the environment
C. are expensive and less convenient D. can work better in cold weather
13. The underlined word “pricey” probably means “________”.
A. fast B. slow C. cheap D. expensive
14. Sandy develops her idea mainly by ________.
A. telling stories B. listing facts C. asking questions D. using sayings
15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. Should all cars be electric
B. Will cars be common in the future
C. Can electric cars help slow climate change
D. Are gas-powered cars bad for the environment

It’s necessary to share your feelings with your friends, because sharing your feelings helps you to get closer to people you care about and who care about you.
In fact, adults are more private (注重隐私的) than people of other ages. That means adults will feel shyer about sharing their feelings with others. While kids like to tell friends about how they feel every day.
Sometimes it can be really hard not to tell anyone that you’re feeling sad, worried, or upset. Don’t keep feelings inside. If so, it can even make you feel worse! But if you talk with someone who cares about you, you will not be all alone with your problems or worries. It doesn’t mean your problems and worries go off, but at least someone else knows what your trouble is and can help you find ways to do with it.
If your friends don’t understand what you mean right away, try to say it in a different way or give an example that has something to do with you. Of course, there are many ways for you to speak up your feelings. If you think you'll have trouble saying what’s on your mind, you can always write it down.

The banana plant, however, is considered a herb (草本) rather than a tree because it doesn’t have a strong, woody stem (干、茎). The plants can grow as high as 30 feet. When they reach their full height, flowers grow out from the stem. These flowers produce bananas.
Two or three times each year, the plants produce fruit. The bananas grow together, which seem like "hands". A hand is made up of 10 to 20 bananas. Growers sometimes call bananas "fingers". Each bunch (丛) of bananas has about 15 hands, and so a whole bunch may have as many as 200 bananas and can weigh more than 100 pounds.
After about three months, farmers pick(摘) the bananas. At this point, they still aren’t the sunny yellow color: bananas. Farmers pick them when they’re green. That’s how they’re shipped to stores. They turn yellow along the way and are ready to be sold.
If you love bananas, you’ve got a lot of company. Americans have been enjoying bananas since the first shipment arrived in the United States in 1876. Today Americans eat more bananas than any other fruit. More bananas are sold than apples and grapes together. Every American eats over 26 pounds of bananas each year!
23. The first paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A. why people like bananas B. how bananas taste
C. what bananas are rich in D. where bananas are taken
24. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ________
A. bananas B. the banana plant C. herb D. tree
25. What is the correct order in which these happen
a. The bananas begin to turn yellow. b. A banana plant grows to full height.
c. The flowers produce bananas. d. The bananas are ready to be picked.
A. c-b-a-d B. b-c-d-a C. b-c-a-d D. c-b-d-a
26. Why do farmers pick bananas when they’re green
A. Because they are always green. B. Because people like green bananas.
C. Because it’s convenient to ship. D. Because yellow bananas aren’t delicious.
D
Do you have true friends Do you want to know better between you and your friends There are three different kinds of friends: “pest friends”, “guest friends”, and “best friends”.
The first kind of friends is simply an acquaintance (熟人). All you usually know about them is their names. You may meet this kind of friends at school, at work, or on the bus, but you don’t miss them when they’re not around. When this kind of friends does something bad, you don’t tell them. That is why they are called “pest friends”.
The second kind of friends could also be called “social partners”. They are closer than acquaintances, but not as close as true friends. You know their names, a little of what they like or dislike, and a little of their family histories. You usually have a few things in common, but you don’t talk about anything deep, such as your wishes or fears, and they don’t open up to you how they really feel.
The last kind of friends, the “best friend”, is the one you know the deepest. You’re like family, and know everything about each other. You have no problem staying at each other’s houses, and you share your deepest feelings and thoughts. They will correct you when you’re wrong. Sometimes they may not be perfect, but at least they will always care about you, and never do anything on purpose (故意地) to hurt you.
We all have our pest, guest, and best friends. We should value all friendships and remember, all best friends start out as just acquaintances.
27. If you and John are neighbors and classmates, and do things together, but don’t share your feelings, you are “________”.
A. pest friends B. guest friends C. best friends D. true friends
28. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us ________.
A. how to make a best friend B. how to learn from your best friends
C. what a best friend is D. a best friend can correct you when you are wrong
29. From the passage, we can learn that ________.
A. pest friends are more important than guest friends
B. we miss our best friends when we’re not with them
C. a best friend hardly does anything bad to you
D. a pest friend will never become your best friend

31. What’s the main idea of the passage (Use one sentence.)

Sitting in front of the television may be relaxing, but spending too much time in front of it may takes years off your life. Watching less television may help you live a much longer life.
Australian researchers (研究人员) did a study with more than 11,000 people over the age of 25. Their study showed that if people watched TV for six hours a day, they lived about 4. 8 years less than those who didn’t watch any television. Also, people who are over the age of 25 lose 22 minutes of life for each hour of TV that they watch.
Sitting in front of the television isn’t healthy. The more TV you watch, the less exercise you’ll get. And the less exercise you get, the more likely it is that you’ll get sick.
Lennert Veerman, the researcher who led the study, says watching too much TV will influence people’s life expectancies (预期寿命), even for people who have a good eating habit. He thinks it’s reasonable for doctors to start asking their patients about how much TV they watch, as it can be an indicator (指标) of someone’s health.
As for this reason, Veerman thinks people should try to turn off the TV or even live without TV and get off the sofa to get some exercise. “Exercise is good,” he said. “Even light activity is good for health. ”
38. Australian researchers did a study and found ________.
A. the time of watching TV changes life expectancies B. the activities people do to relax in their free time
C. what people should do to make them live longer D. why the TV can change people’s life expectancies
39. According to the study, if a 35-year-old man watches TV for two hours, he will lose ________ of life.
A. 6 hours B. 4. 8 years C. 22 minutes D. 44 minutes
40. The underlined word “influence” in Paragraph 4 means ________.
A. 伤害 B. 影响 C. 导致 D. 危及
41. It is TRUE that ________ according to the passage.
A. fewer than 11,000 people are in the study
B. most people watched TV for six hours a day
C. going for a walk once a week can’t be good for health
D. too much TV is also bad for the people who eats well
【答案】38. A 39. D 40. B 41. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项关于看太多电视对人有害的研究，号召人们少看电视，多锻炼。

Since September, many schools have more PE classes from three times a week to five or even more. This is in response to (响应) China’s new standard (标准) on PE classes. The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes, third only to Chinese and math.
The standard not only asks students to do easy exercise, but also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do.
Ma Jiajun, 15, from Jilin, set a new world record for “the most consecutive jump rope triples (连续三摇跳绳)” with 701 times. His teacher Chen Peng said that the school has always kept an eye on PE. With Ma as a role model now, students are more hard-working on not only jump rope but also other kinds of sports.
“At first tai chi was only needed during break time to show Chinese traditional culture, but students fell in love with it,” said Gao Yuxiang from a middle school of Shandong. Grade 8 students all need to do it, and there’s a tai chi competition every year for Grade 8 students. “Diferent from ball games, tai chi can make me relaxed and help me get ready for the next class,” said Gao.
“I really enjoy hip-hop dance,” Ren Jianing, a high school student, said, “The class doesn’t need any experience, so anyone can learn. ” Every class they practice a part of the dance and in the next class put the parts together into a whole dance. “Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter,” said Ren.
42. How many kinds of exercise are talked about in this passage
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
43. What can we infer (推断) from the passage
A. Ma Jiajun really enjoys hip-hop dance. B. Schools should try to have fewer ball games.
C. There is a tai chi competition for Grade 8 students. D. Students may be hard-working in hip-bop classes.
44. What’s the structure (结构) of this passage
A. B.
C. D.
45. What’s the purpose (目的) of the passage
A. To show PE gets more and more important. B. To show China’s New Standard on classes.
C. To show the PE class was popular in the past. D. To show teachers teach better in PE Class.
【答案】42. C 43. D 44. C 45. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了学校为了响应国家关于体育课的新标准，增加了每周体育课的节数，并介绍了不同学校的学生都有不同程度的受益。
【42题详解】
细节理解题。文章主要介绍的运动有第三段的“the most consecutive jump rope triples (连续三摇跳绳)”跳绳运动，第四段的“tai chi”太极运动，以及第五段的“hip-hop dance”街舞，因此主要谈论了三种运动。故选C。
【43题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段末尾的“Our shirts are all wet after class even on the coldest days of winter”可知，尽管是冬日里最冷的日子，衣服在课后都是潮湿的，由此能推断出学生在课堂上是努力跳舞，挥洒出汗水。D选项符合。故选D。
【44题详解】
篇章结构题。从第一段的“This is in response to (响应) China’s new standard (标准) on PE classes”可知，学校在响应国家体育课新标准，这是介绍了文章的背景；从第二段的“The standard not only asks students to do easy exercise, but also asks schools to give students other popular sports to do.”可知，学校也要求学生做其他受欢迎的运动，引出了下文三种受欢迎的运动：跳绳，太极和街舞。因此文章第一第二段可归为一部分，引出了后文，后面三段同为并列结构，介绍了三种不同的运动。故选C。
【45题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章的开头“The standard asks schools to make sure that 10 to 11 percent of all class time must be PE classes, third only to Chinese and math.”可知，体育课占据了课堂时间的10%到11%，仅次于语文和数学，由此能看出体育科目正在变得越来越重要。故选A。

① As Daddy’s only daughter, I knew what made my Daddy more wonderful than all the other fathers, I’d ever seen or heard of — his large hands.
② Daddy had long smart fingers (指头) that could make lots of paper toys for me to play with. His hands could tie my hair beautifully. That’s why I felt happy when the other students talked about my hairstyle. I kept it to myself for years. His hands could paint a second-band bike to look new. I got one on my tenth birthday. His hands could cook a delicious and colorful meal in minutes. I was always interested in watching his hands work. Even as I grew hungrier, I felt happy watching his hands.
③ Daddy’s creative hands were also useful and hard-working. They could fly a kite high in the sky as well as to get it down from the top of a tree. They could wash my white dress clean, which became my favorite one. To my surprise, those hands fed seven children after Mom died. It was his feelings that showed what he really was, far more than his abilities.
④ Not only were Daddy’s hands great, they could also send me a note full of love. When I was ill, he made me feel better. He would take a small blanket (毯子), warm it up and cover it around my small cold feet with his loving hands. They seemed to understand I was feeling terrible before I could cry. When I was worried about something, Daddy would often hand me a cup of hot milk and sat next to me. He would say, “The best is always to come, my dear.”
⑤ The more I read Daddy’s hands, the more stories I get from them. Daddy’s hands were fantastic. They had the knowledge (知识) and power to move mountains. They made the impossible possible.

When Carolyn McDaniel gets up, his cat Buddy often comes in and meows. If McDaniel doesn’t understand him immediately, Buddy will be angry. McDaniel works at the animal research centre in New York. He is studying cats’ meow these days.
Listen to cats, and you’ll hear lots of sounds. Purring is a sign of a contented (满意的) cat. But cats purr when they’re in danger, too. Cats that hiss are not contented. They make the sound if they’re looking for food. However, chirr is a friendly greeting. Mother cats also chirr to call their children.
To understand cats’ language, McDaniel taped hundreds of cats’ meows in different situations. Then humans listened through headphones. People who were more familiar (熟悉的) with cats did better in understanding the meows. But even the cat owners got the right answers only about 30% of the time.
Why is it so difficult to understand cat’s meow Sam, who belongs to 15-year-old Jenna, makes a sound Meh-Meh when he sees birds outside. But 17-year-old Nick’s cat, Kitty, goes Mrak-Mrak in the same situation. Meows differ in the same situation. Still, cats themselves do all right at communicating their general feelings because they also use body language.
Now, McDaniel thinks that people would probably do much better in understanding cats’ meow with the help of videos, because we can see cats communicate (交流) a lot with body language: head position, eye contact, and even tail movement. “Body language can also be difficult to understand, but glad that we have found a new way at least,” says McDaniel.
14. When a cat is hungry, it may make the sound ________.
A. purr B. hiss C. chirr D. meh
15. What can we know from the passage
A. Cats owners can understand most of cat’s meows.
B. Cats have trouble communicating with each other.
C. Different sounds from cats may have the same meaning.
D. Body language makes it more difficult to understand cats’ meows.
16. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. a scientist who studies cats’ meow B. a study on understanding cats’ meow
C. a story between McDaniel and his cat D. a way to understand cats’ body language
【答案】14. B 15. C 16. B

The race is on to get more electric cars on the road. People predict that electric cars might be more common in the future. But according to a 2021 survey by Pew Research Center, more than half of U, S, adults like gas-powered cars better. They say electric cars are expensive and charging (充电) them is a big problem. For now, most people plan to stick with gas-powered cars. We ask young readers what they think about electric cars.
Henry, 12 years old, San Francisco I think we should all have electric cars. This would cut down air pollution and allow us to breathe better. Cleaner air also means there will be fewer animals dying. Think of all the lives we have lost by destroying our environment. Some people think electric cars are pricey. But their prices are coming down. What’s more, gas costs a lot more than electricity. Once you use the gas, it’s gone. Anyway, I think we’re going to run out of gas at some point. This will make electric cars a need. Also, do you know that electric cars can travel 33 miles for about a dollar You can’t say that for gas. All cars should be electric!
Sandy, 13 years old, New York I don’t think all cars should be electric. First of all, charging stations are less common than gas stations. This makes electric cars a lot less convenient for long trips. What’s more, cold weather does harm to the batteries (电池). They can’t work well as usual. And electric cars are also more expensive than common cars. A new electric car usually costs around $ 11, 000 more than a new gar car. True, electric cars help slow climate change. But throwing batteries away can hurt our planet.
12. Over half of the American adults agree that electric cars ________ according to the survey.
A. have no problem in charging B. are bad for the environment
C. are expensive and less convenient D. can work better in cold weather
