一、阅读理解
Very often, when we see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we may think nothing is wrong. But when we come to the question "how much time do they actually spend on media daily ", the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this only includes media used for enjoyment.
Today's young people seem to have become crazy multitaskers. They often use media when doing other activities. Some watch TV when doing homework, some text, and some others listen to music. But what do young people think of this A research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no influence on schoolwork. Half of them thought using social media made no difference. However, researches have given a different answer: "media multitaskers" did worse in tests.
Scientists did a research among more than 400 students. It shows that those who text a lot have more trouble sleeping and do worse in their study. In another research, students who didn't text during a lesson took down a lot more notes than those who were texting. A similar research also found that students who texted when doing schoolwork had lower overall(总体的) grades.
According to a research, if a kid uses social media a lot, especially at night, he or she will sleep worse and feel more nervous and depressed. On the one. hand， young people stay up late to check messages and information. They may also be woken up by messages they receive. On the other hand, even the light from a screen could influence their sleep. Some other researches also show that children who use media at night go to bed later, get fewer hours of sleep each week, and become sleepy more easily during the daytime.

The post-1990s generation is often described as self-centered and always asking for help. However, research results have painted a rather different picture. The post-1990s generation is independent, strong-minded and hard-working, according to a Peking University report.
When it comes to learning and working, over 60 percent think their own interests are more important than others' opinions. Most of them see successful businessmen as their idols（偶像）. But it's not because they are rich. "Their strong belief in themselves and never-give-up spirit have won the hearts of the generation," the report said.
In addition, the post-1990s generation has a strong sense of social responsibility. Many of them have taken part in volunteer work. They also try to be responsible by studying hard.
In the UK, many of the post-1990s generation have given up the drinking habits that the past generations had, The Telegraph noted. Most of them now have healthier hobbies, such as knitting（编织）and cooking. "It's hard to find time for a hobby if you are going out drinking, "Kate Payne, author of The Hip Girl's Guide to Homemaking, told The Telegraph. Changes in their hobbies have also helped them learn good manners. The 2013 Youth Justice Statistics report in the UK showed that young people are less rude and noisy in public.
However, a generation's traits don't belong to every single person in it. "It's what you do that can make you the kind of person you want to be, "said Cheng Dongfeng, director of the Youth Ideological and Moral Education Center of West Anhui University.
5．How is the post-1990s generation often described
A．Independent. B．Self-centered. C．Open-minded. D．Hard-working.
6．According to the report, what does the post-1990s generation think is more important when it comes to learning and working
A．Friends' support. B．Parents' suggestions.
C．Their own interests. D．Teachers' advice.
7．Why does the post-1990s generation see successful businessmen as their idols
A．Because they are rich. B．Because they are clever.
C．Because they are confident. D．Because they are brave.
8．Which of the following describes young people in the UK
A．They are rude and noisy in public. B．They have healthier hobbies now.
C．They enjoy going out drinking. D．They receive a better education.
9．What is the passage mainly about
A．How the post-1990s generation sees themselves.
B．How the post-1990s generation develops good habits.
C．Why the post-1990s generation changes so much.

The next time you look up at the sky and see a cloud that looks like Mickey Mouse or your favorite fruit，look again. It may not be a cloud，but a Flogo-a logo that flies. It's a new form of advertising in the sky that's never been used before. It's a different way to market your products，logos，and events.
These funny logos are made with soap bubbles mixed with a little helium（氦气），which makes them lighter than air and float in the sky. Special machines are used to make these new funny Flogos. The machine, which can be rented for $2,500 a day, can make a Flogo every 15-25 seconds.
Flogos can fly much higher or lower if needed. They can last from a few minutes to an hour anywhere in the sky, depending on the weather conditions. Though they can fly up to 20,000 feet, they usually float around at 300-500 feet. Flogos are only white now, but people hope to have more colorful Flogos in the near future.
Flogos are green, 100% environmentally safe, because the soap used to make the Flogo comes from plants and leaves. So this fun way of advertising is healthy and good for the environment.
18．Flogos are mainly used to ________ .
A．advertise in the sky B．make funny bubbles
C．improve weather conditions D．make colorful clouds
19．Why are Flogos healthy and good for the environment
A．Because they can float high and last for a long time in the sky.
B．Because there is a little helium mixed with soap bubbles.
C．Because the machines used to make them are special and expensive.
D．Because the soap used to make them comes from plants and leaves.
20．From the passage, we can infer that Flogos ________ .
A．can fly for hours in the sky all day
B．can have different colors at present

Every schoolday, we use schoolbags to carry all of our things to school. They are a big part of our lives. But have you ever thought about the history of the schoolbag
In the Han Dynasty, students in old-style private schools used bamboo boxes to carry books to school. People consider the bamboo boxes to be the earliest schoolbags. There were usually two or three layers in the box. Kids put different things like books, brushes, ink stones and paper in the boxes.
Hundreds of years later, people developed a new kind of schoolbag called the budai, or the "hippocket". The budai was lighter than the bamboo box. With the founding (成立) of the People's Republic of China, military rucksacks became popular. Many people carried them when they were at school. Ask your grandparents or parents about these bags. Maybe they can tell you about their experiences of carrying them when they were at school.
A new style of schoolbags has appeared in recent years. Many of them have colorful and fashionable designs on them, such as pictures of cartoons or pop stars.

Only a few days ago, the first—ever China Hanfu Day was held to encourage young Chinese people to wear and take pride in hanfu, the traditional clothing of the Han ethnic group (汉族).

Riding a Mobike on the street, you might hear some people speaking Chinese aloud. Turning to the right, you see a Sichuan-style restaurant. After walking into a store, you see that Huawei smartphones are on sale. But you're not in China—you're in Manchester in Britain. In fact, you might see similar things in many other cities. Chinese products have been going all over the world.
Chinese food has been enjoyed in Western countries for a long time. To meet local people's tastes, Chinese restaurants have made some changes to the dishes. "One example is the meat," said Yin Hang, a Chinese student who is studying in Australia. "We like to eat meat with the bones (骨头) in, but people here don't. So the local Chinese restaurants provide big pieces of meat without bones, even for fish."
Some Chinese brands are also becoming more popular. It is reported that in many cities in Europe, many stores sell TCL televisions, Haier fridges and Lenovo computers. More than half of US-owned drones (无人机) are Chinese models, according to China Daily. They're not only made in China, but also designed and developed in the country.
In the past, most Western people thought Chinese products were cheap and unreliable. But now, things have changed greatly. More people trust Chinese brands. "Made in China" becomes cool. "They are beautiful and offer something special that American phones don't have," an article on CNN once said about Chinese smartphones.

How old do you have to be to invent something: ten, twenty, or thirty years old How about older Don't tell K. K. Gregory that. When she was ten(1995), she made her invention, called Wristies.
While playing out in the snow, her arms hurt because they were cold. She made a warm fingerless(不分手指的)cover that kept her hands and arms warm. She could wear them under her coat. She shared her idea with a few other people, and they liked it.

Some people gave Kathryn some good advice. They told her to wear her Wristies so people would see them and ask what they were. By telling people the name of her invention, she was building a brand.

Several years ago, Illinois, the mayor of Chicago, decided to have vegetation（植物） planted on Chicago City Hall after he visited Germany, a leader in green roof（屋顶） design.
Green roofs are designed to save energy and collect rainwater. Roofs covered with plants help keep buildings cool. Earlier in 2008, researchers in Texas reported that green roofs can reduce（减少） a building's air conditioning costs by about one-fifth compared to black-top roofs. Besides, vegetation on roofs help stop water running off into streets and make the life of a roof longer.
Researchers say green roofs usually do not get much above 27, so temperatures might not be a problem for growing. However, green roof gardeners have to be careful not to put too much weight on the roof. This is true whether plants are grown in soil or water.
"Not all green roofs perform well." Mark Simmons, one of the researchers said, "Designs are different in keeping buildings cool and collecting rainwater. They have to be done right." In order to improve green roof conditions, researchers did many experiments. They compared products from different companies to help them understand how to make their designs work better.
Researchers also found some native（本地的） plants such as sedums which need little water. Therefore they can help the green roofs take in more water and help keep buildings cool. Today, the tops of some buildings in America look like farms as well as parks. Rainwater is used to grow lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and many other kinds of plants.
（1）The mayor of Chicago visited Germany to .
A．visit his old friends B．learn how to design green roofs
C．invited someone to design parks D．learn how to plant trees in parks
（2）According to the passage, plants on roofs can .
A．help keep more water B．make the roof higher

A．green roofs can save money
B．the designs of green roofs are difficult
C．different green roofs work differently
D．temperature is important for growing plants
