第二部分：阅读理解（满分40分）

A

   When I was a kid growing up, I made friends with a man named Edwin E. Bailey. He ran the astronomical observatory（天文观测台） at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, USA. I would go to the Franklin Institute most Saturdays just to spend time with him. He was a good speaker and he seemed to know something about everything.

   Sadly, he died of an illness several years ago. When he was in hospital, I went to visit him. In an effort to make small talk, I told him about all the places I had been to and how I had come to his bedside straight from the airport.

   He then said with a slightly sarcastic manner（有点嘲讽的态度），“ You go all over the world to people who, ten years from now, won’t remember your name. But you haven’t left time for the people who really care about you.”

  What he said hit me hard and changed my life. I decided to pay more attention to my family and friends, and not to let my time be used up by people to whom I make no difference.

  Months ago a friend of mine got a call from the White House asking him to consult with (与……商议） the President of the United States．He said no because it was to be on a day he had promised to spend with his grandson at the seaside. The nation went on well without him, the President didn’ t miss him, but his grandson spent some valuable time with his grandfather.

21. What did the author think of Edwin?

   A. He was hard-working            B. He was knowledgeable

   C. He was quick to make friends      D. He was crazy about traveling

22. What changed the author’ s life?

   A. Edwin’s words                 B. Edwin’s death

C. Edwin s traveling experiences.    D. Edwin s working experiences

23. What does the underlined word " him"in the last paragraph refer to?

A. Edwin                    

B. A friend of the author

C. The President of the USA     

D. The grandson of the author’ s friend

24. What does the author want to tell us by writing the text?

A. Doing is better than saying     B. A true friend is hard to find

C. Living in the past won’t help   D. First things should be put first

B

Will it matter if you don't take your breakfast? Recently a test was given in the United States. Those tested included people of different ages, from 12 to 83. During the experi­ment, these people were given all kinds of breakfasts, and sometimes they got no breakfast at all. Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast. The results show that if a person eats a proper breakfast, he or she will work with better effect than if he or she has no breakfast. This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains. If a student eats fruit, eggs, bread and milk before going to school, he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention to class.

Opposite to what many people believe, if you don't eat breakfast, you will not lose weight. This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch, and end up gaining weight instead of losing. You will probably lose more weight if you reduce your other meals.

25. The results of the test show that ________.

A. breakfast has great effect on work and studies

B. breakfast has little to do with a person s work

C. a person will work better if he has a simple breakfast

D. those working with brains should have much for breakfast

26. Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

A. Poor breakfasts affect those who work with brains.

B. Morning diet may cause one to get fatter.

C. Reducing lunch and supper is of less value in weight losing.

D. Eating less in lunch and supper may help to lose weight.

27. According to the passage, if a student does not eat breakfast, ___________.

A. he will fall ill

B. he will fail to listen to his teacher

C. he will not make progress in his study

D. his mind will work more slowly

C

Smartphones, tablets and smart watches are banned（禁止） at school for all children under15 in France. Students are not able to use their phones during school hours, including meal breaks .

“I think it’s a good thing. School is not about being on your phone,”Paris mum Marie-caroline Madeleine told AFP. “It’s hard with kids. You can’t control what they see and that’s one of the things that worry me as a parent.”

 There is no law like this in Australia, but some Australian schools have banned phones.

 Mckinnon Secondary School in Victoria introduced a total ban in February and Principal Pitsa Binnion said this has been a success.

 Mckinnon students still have a Chromebook to use in every class for day-to-day learning but they’re not allowed to use social media (媒体). Ms Binnion said at first “teachers cheered and students moaned（抱怨），” but now they’re seeing the positives（优势）．“ They come to school and they are not allowed to use phones at all during the school day, including lunch breaks, "she said.

“It's been wonderful for students to communicate with each other at lunchtime and not to look at their screen, ”she said .

Ms Binnion also doesn't use her mobile phone in school. "I think anyone can do it if we’ve done it .”

Not everyone agrees with the bans. Western Sydney University technology researcher Dr Joanne Orlando wrote in a magazine that Australia should not ban phones in schools. “A good education for students today is knowing how to use technology to learn, communicate and work with ideas, ”she wrote. “Banning students from using smartphones is a 1950s response to a 2018 state-of-play.”

28. Why did Madeleine welcome the ban?

A. School is for studying               

B. Kids behave badly nowadays

C. Teachers find it hard to control kids    

D .Her kids depend too much on phones

29. What can we learn about the ban in Mckinnon Secondary School?

A. Some teachers were against it at first

B. Students can now see the good of the ban

C. Students can use their phones at lunch breaks.

D. Teachers have stopped using phones at school as well

30. What does the underlined word “Chromebook” in Paragraph 5 probably refer to?

A. A book    B. A notebook     C. A learning website.    D.A kind of computer

31. What does Dr Joanne Orlando think of banning phones in schools?

A. It will disconnect parents and kids

B. It will cause kids to communicate less

C. It will prevent kids being tech-minded

D. It will make education go back 60 years

D

People enjoy taking trips. But what are reasons they leave home? One reason is for education. People travel because the want to broaden their horizon(视野) to learn about other people and other cultures. When people are on a trip, they get a quick look at different ways of living. Even a short look at another kind of lifestyle is an important lesson. When travelling, a person can learn directly by visiting museums and historic spots(景点). What does a tourist learn who sees the arts museums, visit the historical places and other scenic spots in Paris and shops along the River Seine? He learns about their attitudes and how they feel about business, beauty and history.

What about the traveler who goes to Hong Kong? Does he get the same information that he could get from a book? He might read that Hong Kong is a crowed that there is less than 200 square meters of space for each person. But seeing and feeling the lack of space will impress him much more.

   He might read that there are nearly 200 vehicles(交通工具) for every kilometer of roadway. But the sight of so many vehicles parked along the roadside would be a much more vivid lesson. The traveler to Hong Kong will never forget the contrast（对比）: the straight vertical(垂直的) lines of tall modern buildings and the moving lines of boat that people live in. 

32．Why do people leave home to travel according to the passage?

A．For education.          B．For adventure.

C．To enjoy themselves

D．To look for a different lifestyle.

33．What do we learn from the passage about Paris?

A．It has a large population

B．It has many towering building

C．There are 200 vehicles for every kilometer of roadway

D．There are many museums and palaces.

34．What impression will a traveler get of Hong Kong?

A．It has many big and beautiful parks.

B．It is a city of contrast.

C．It has many historical sites.

D．It is an important industrial center.

35．What does the passage tell us about travelling?

A．It makes our life more interesting.

B．It enables us to get first-hand knowledge..

C．It helps develop our personalities.

D．It brings about changes in our lifestyles.

E

书面表达

Dear Mr. Brown ,

I’m Li Hua, an exchange student from China. I’ve heard that our school will hold classes about Chinese classics and I think it' s a good idea to learn Tang poetry.

 As an important form of Chinese classics, Tang poetry enjoys great popularity among Chinese people. Tang poetry talks about matters of everyday life. It s known for its simple language but deep meanings. So Tang poetry will not only introduce students to the beauty of Chinese but also help them learn about Chinese history and culture. I believe it will be popular among our students.

 I hope you can take my suggestion into consideration.

               Yours sincerely,

                                             Li Hua
