阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Every diligent parent is constantly looking for the best summer activities for their kids. Whether it's a local tennis camp, a sports league, or an arts and crafts event, there is no shortage of summer activities that you can fill each summer day with. Here are some brilliant summer ideas for your kids.
Playing an outdoor word game
All you need to do is to set up many huge letters that can be easily moved. These letters will help spell out certain words. The game gives your kids the opportunity to invest their time in learning new words that may come in handy at school.
Flying a kite.
Pick a clear area to run and fly a kite of your choice. Flying a kite teaches your kids patience and coordination(协调). Besides, kites are pretty to watch high in the sky, with a bright sun, during a fun summer day!
Making milk carton boats
Take an old milk carton and shape it into a boat. You can even paint it and stick a toothpick in it with a taped flag! Test it out by putting it in water in the sink or bath. Does it float If not, your kids can think how to fix it and try fixing it.
Spray-painting
To bring out the creativity in a person, spray-painting is the perfect way to get those creative juices flowing. All you need to do is provide plain white T-shirts and some cans of coloured spray paint. It will be quite surprising to see some of the original ideas that will flow from individuals.
21. Which activity is beneficial to kids' patience and coordination
A. Flying a kite. B. Spray-painting.
C. Making milk carton boats. D. Playing an outdoor word game.
22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text
A. You have to make your own kite before flying a kite.
B. You have to spray orange juice on your T-shirt in spray-painting.
C. Making milk carton boats develops kids' hands-on ability and thinking ability.
D. You learn to sing new songs with huge letters when playing an outdoor word game.
23. Who is the text probably intended for
A. Teachers. B. Parents. C. Kids. D. Tourists.
B
Chinese emojis circle the globe
“Funny”, a made-in-China emoji, seems to have moved beyond China. Now, it is more than an emoji, but a cultural expansion.
Reaching global markets
A series of “funny” emoji-based bolsters(长枕) have attracted the attention of Japanese customers. Even if one bolster costs more than three times the price in China, it doesn't dampen their desires to buy it. One Japanese customer said, “They are just so cute and I bought three bolsters at one time for my family. And every time I see them, my mood just brightens suddenly.”
A Japanese netizen said, “I think the emoji implies very complicated meanings. Different people can read different things from it. For example, my dad will send it when he doesn't agree with someone but he has to say something and behave politely. But one of my friends thinks it is nothing but an expression of fun.”
An addition to domestic social media
Compared with Japanese people's impressions of the “funny” emoji, Chinese netizens prefer to use the emoji to tease one another on social media.
One commonly seen online comment from Chinese netizens is: “We strongly suggest stopping using the emoji. Because every time other people send me the emoji, I feel very uncomfortable and consider myself as a fool.”
Regarded as one of the most popular emojis, the “funny” emoji has received much attention since it was released. In fact, the “funny” emoji is the updated version of its original pared with the original, “funny” has a smiley mouth, a dull red flush and two eyebrows. All these characteristics present a sense of satire(讽刺).
In everyday use abroad
It's not the first time Chinese emojis have taken the world stage. Since 2016, one smiling emoji from a Chinese basketball celebrity has been spread through the Middle East region. Many locals do not know the celebrity but are familiar with his emoji and nickname.
As a new online language, emojis have become a necessary part of people's daily life, helping people express their views in a more vivid and precise way. Also, they can help foreigners learn about Chinese culture and learn the language. As Chinese emojis have slowly entered the world stage, how to properly use emojis without hurting others and how to turn them into commercial advantages still need answers.
24. Why did the bolsters attract the Japanese customer's attention
A. They were cheap. B. They were easy to carry.
C. They lifted the customer's spirits. D. They helped the customer behave politely.
25. What can be inferred about the “funny” emoji from the text
A. It was created by a Chinese basketball celebrity.
B. It hasn't received much attention since its release.
C. It helps foreigners understand Chinese culture better.
D. It is seen as friendly by most Chinese netizens.
26. What's the author's attitude towards the “funny” emoji
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Supportive. D. Objective.
27. What is the author's purpose in writing the text
A. To promote the “funny” emoji worldwide.
B. To teach us how to use the “funny” emoji.
C. To explain the meaning of the “funny” emoji.
D. To show us the popularity of the “funny” emoji.
C
We live in a town with three beaches. There are two parks within walking distance from home where neighbourhood children gather to play. However, what my children want to do after school is pick up a screen — any screen — and stare at it for hours. They are not alone. Today's children spend several hours a day looking at screens, split between watching television and using the Internet.
In the past few years, an increasing number of people and organisations have begun coming up with plans to counter this trend. A couple of years ago, a filmmaker realised that his children were attached to screens to the point where he was able to say “chocolate” into his son's ear without getting a response. He realised that something needed to change, and, being a media type, appointed himself as “marketing director for nature”. He documented his journey as he set about treating nature as a brand to be marketed to young people. The result was a film, which charts the birth of a group of organisations with the common goal of getting children out into nature.
“Just five more minutes outdoors can make a difference,” the filmmaker says. “There is a lot of really interesting evidence which seems to be suggesting that if children are inspired up to the age of seven, then being outdoors will be a habit for life.” His own children have got into the habit of playing outside now. “We just send them out into the garden and tell them not to come back in for a while,” he says.
Summer is upon us. There is an amazing world out there, and it needs our children as much as they need it. Let us get them out and let them play.
28. What is the problem with the author's children
A. They often annoy the neighbours. B. They are tired of doing their homework.
C. They have no friends to play with. D. They stay in front of screens for too long.
29. How did the filmmaker advocate his idea
A. By making a documentary film. B. By organising outdoor activities.
C. By advertising in the media. D. By creating a network of friends.
30. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “charts” in Paragraph 2
A. Records. B. Predicts. C. Delays. D. Confirms.
31. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Let children have fun B. Young children need more free time
C. Market nature to children D. A role model for children
D
Wind turbines(风力发电涡轮机)and solar panels that generate electricity are examples of green technology. A new study finds that such renewable energy might be green in another sense. Large collections of those turbines or so-called farms of solar panels appear capable of bringing rain to the desert. And that would allow more plants to grow.
Building large wind or solar farms just to study how wind turbines and solar farms might alter a region's climate was not an option. It would be too costly. So the team instead used computer models. Later, they developed a model of the Sahara Desert for their new study.
The team ran its model several times. In one run, it assumed that people would build wind farms only. Another run assumed people would install just solar farms. A third assumed people would build both. The three assumptions would affect the desert's weather with temperature and average daily rain increased — but differently. Installing a mix of wind turbines and solar farms brought about a bigger change — not in temperature but in rainfall. In the Sahara, having both wind and solar farms more than doubled the amount of rain that fell.
The models predicted that the average rainfall would increase over time, as more plants grew. Plants move water from the ground to the air. Warmer air can carry more water. So as this air rises, it can ferry more water up to become clouds. Those clouds can release rain, relieving the thirst of plants below. Over time, this process repeats itself over and over. This positive feedback can greatly boost rain.
“Such rainfall changes could lead to better agriculture,” says one researcher. “More rain also would help wild plants grow. We believe that the countries in the Sahara region should seriously consider investing in wind and solar power.”
32. What is the finding of the new study
A. Deserts will be suitable for farming. B. It costs much to get deserts greener.
C. Renewable energy can green a desert. D. Clean energy helps plants grow better.
33. What discouraged the team from building energy farms
A. Huge construction expenses. B. A lack of suitable test sites.
C. Shortage of manpower. D. Terrible climate.
34. What was the advantage of the third run
A. Saving more energy. B. Decreasing the average rainfall.
C. More than doubling the rainfall. D. Lowering the temperature.
35. What are the countries in the Sahara region advised to do
A. Build more farms to grow crops. B. Save more water for agriculture.
C. Invest in wind and solar power. D. Consider moving to other places.

Daily overuse of social media has a bad effect on kids' health by making them more open to anxiety, and more at risk of future health problems. 36 Many new applications automatically show where the users are and when they're used. This can tell anyone out there exactly where to find the person using the applications.
37 They are also upset about their kids spending time on the Internet instead of getting down to their homework, and are afraid of what can come out of their online connections.
38 One way is to make a “social media agreement” with your kids — a real contract they can sign. In it, your kids can agree to protect their own privacy, consider their reputation, and not to give out personal information. 39
In turn, parents need to agree to respect their kids' privacy while making an effort to be part of the social media world. Parents can also help kids spend less time on the computer by putting limits on the use of social media. 40 Avoid laptops and smartphones in bedrooms, and set some rules. And don't forget that setting a good example through your own virtual behaviour can go a long way towards helping your kids use social media safely.
A. Trust your kids more.
B. Keep computers in public areas in the house.
C. It's important to be aware of what your kids are doing online.
D. Kids can also face the possibility of meeting the wrong person face to face.
E. Spending too much time on social media can make kids feel upset, too.
F. Besides, they must promise never to use technology to hurt anyone else.
G. Parents often say that kids would rather be online than hang around with them.

Many people find new emojis an exciting way of communicating. They expand the way we communicate. Emojis, by design, make a direct link between written communication and the “real” world, by using pictures or icons that represent ideas or emotions. They are accessible, so we don't 56 (necessary) substitute an English word for an emoji when we read a text 57 (contain) one.
So then how should we consider emojis collectively Are they a “language”, when they 58 (use) only in writing You can send someone an entire message 59 (compose) of emojis. But you probably can't use emojis by 60 (they) as a self-contained way of communicating with people without sooner or later turning to English or another language. In this way emojis differ from languages like English or more specialist languages like British Sign Language. This is 61 most linguists wouldn't say that emojis can be considered a language in the strict sense, even though it's 62 (impress) how much content people can often manage 63 (communicate) with them.
However, people do use the word “language” metaphorically — as is the case when people talk about the programming language, body language, and the language of dance — to describe all sorts of methods of communicating 64 don't meet all of the criteria for a linguist's definition of a language like English. Therefore, it's not surprising that people also often refer to emojis 65 a pictorial “language”.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Jatin and his younger sister, Neha, lived with their parents in a poor neighbourhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks(紧盯他们).
One day, Jatin took Neha's shoes to a shoe repairman to fix them, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realised he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his younger sister to keep it secret. Neha agreed and the two decided to share Jatin's running shoes. Neha's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Jatin. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, he often arrived late and was warned by the school.
A long-distance race was going to be held for the boys in the city. When Jatin learnt that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his younger sister that he would win the new shoes for her.
The day of the race arrived. Jatin had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted, he thought only of Neha and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his younger sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners, determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finishing line drew near, another runner collided with Jatin from behind and Jatin crashed to the ground.

续写词数应为150左右。

Dear Mike,
So glad to hear from you! I'm delighted that you are interested in the popular application in China nowadays.
It is a short video application where people can show and share their lives. It can enrich people's lives and relieve their pressure. However, it may also make people addicted to it, distracting them from their work and study.
Therefore, only when we use the application in an appropriate way can it benefit us most.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,

第二节
One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Jatin looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this crucial point, Jatin clenched his teeth, jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. Finally, he was the fourth one to dash across the finishing line. Jatin couldn't help sobbing at the thought of letting his younger sister down. But much to his surprise, the runner who collided with him was disqualified for breaking the rule and Jatin won the third prize. Jatin felt overjoyed and relieved during the awards ceremony, holding the shoes close to his chest.
Paragraph 2:
Filled with pleasure, Jatin walked home in no time. He could not wait to see his younger sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Jatin found Neha was walking about outside nervously and anxiously. “Neha, see what I have got for you!” Jatin said excitedly, taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Neha saw the shoes, her face lit up with pleasure. She said gladly, “Thank you! Jatin.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged each other tightly.
