请阅读下面短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出一个最佳选项。

①People use sayings every day. You may ask an unhappy friend why she's “feeling blue”. If you've done only a small part of a big job, you might call it “a drop in the bucket”.

②These sayings don't mean exactly what the words say. But it's easy to tell why we use them. Blue is a cool and quiet color. So it's a good word for “sad”. A bucket holds too many water drops to count. So just one drop is very little.

③Some sayings are difficult to understand. When you go to bed, you “hit the hay(干草)”. If you want to know the meaning of the saying, you must know where it came from. It was first used in the 1930s. At that time, many Americans were out of work. Some went from place to place, looking for jobs. At night they were very tired. They often made a bed of hay in a field or barn. As soon as their heads “hit the hay”， they fell asleep.

④Here is another saying. When you are not feeling well, you might say you are “under the weather”. But why? This saying is more than 200 years old. It began in the days when many people went from place to place by boat.When the strong winds rocked the boat, people often felt uncomfortable. The boat was sailing(航行) “under the weather”.

⑤Old sayings can be hard for children to understand. But new sayings come along every day. Children often understand new sayings better than older people do. That's why your grandmother might not know what you mean when you say “chill out” or “give me five”. She might think you're “off your rocker”.

(　)39. The saying “hit the hay” means ____.

A. go to sleep  　　　　　B. look for jobs

C. go to work

(　)40. According to the passage, which of the following can be hard for children to understand?

A. “Feel blue”.  　　　　　B. “Give me five”.

C. “Under the weather” .

(　)41. What does the underlined word mean?

A. 谚语   B. 说话   C. 言语

(　)42. From the passage we can know ____.

A. old people know more about sayings

B. sayings are difficult to understand

C. some sayings have a long history

(　)43. How is the passage organized?

C

Reading plays an important role in our whole life. The words in books live forever. With the development of science and technology, e­books have been around for some years. Many people love them. 44. ________

E­books and paper books have a lot in common. They are both objects created by great minds. 45. ________ Firstly, spending too much time reading e­books may do more harm to our eyes. Moreover, e­books don't share the same weight when held in the hand as paper books. Also, e­books don't give the sense of satisfaction that comes from finishing a thick book. 46. ________ And they take less space than paper books.

One bad thing about e­book devices is that there are different apps or games on them, which catch people's attention easily. 47. ________ But with a paper book, they always lose themselves in the words.

Whichever people prefer, both paper books and e­books are just ways to help learn something and get to know other people's experiences. 48. ________ Everyone knows what kind of life they want best and they can certainly decide which kind of books is better for them.

请阅读下面短文，根据语篇内容，在方框内的缩写文章中，填入与短文意思最符合的单词。每空一词。

There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to develop their interests in many subjects. Open education asks students to be responsible(负责的) for their own education. The open classroom may help them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.

But many students may not do well in an open classroom. For some students, if there are few rules, they will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education.  It is important for many students to have some rules in the classroom.

You now know what open education is. You may have your own opinions about open education. The writer thinks that open education is only a good idea. It may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want and need to have some rules. They must study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find that they have to study some subjects. They will not study those subjects if they do not have to.

请阅读下面的非连续性文本，根据语篇内容，回答问题。

儿童的生活在过去十年里发生了巨大的变化。I have four brothers and sisters. We used to play board games in the living room, spend days in the streets with friends, and ride bikes to tour around the town.

These days, in the UK at least, the nature of childhood has changed greatly. Firstly, families are getting smaller, as more and more families choose to have only one child. It's common for both parents to work outside, and it seems that no one could afford(承担得起) to have more than one child. As__a__result,__today's__children__spend__much__of__their__time__alone. Another great change is that children today spend a lot of their free time at home.That's because their parents worry about real or imagined dangers, so they won't allow their children to play outside by themselves.

Finally, the way children play is completely different.Almost every family has at least one computer and many children have mobile phones. Mobile phone games have replaced(代替) board games and other interesting activities of my childhood.However, the fact is that playing mobile phone games alone can make people feel lonelier.

Do these changes mean that today's children have a less relaxing childhood than I had? I believe they do.

三、　　One day, a young man worked in his workshop as usual. After a day's hard work, he was ready to go home. However, he found his watch missing. It was a special gift from his father. He searched for a long time but failed to find it with a heavy heart. He had to consider giving up. At that time he heard a group of children playing outside. Thinking more hands make lighter work, he had them to help look for it. He promised whoever found the watch would get some candies. Hearing this, the children hurried inside the workshop and searched the whole place. But none of them could find the watch. Just when the young man felt hopeless, a little boy asked for another chance. Seeing the confidence in the little boy's eyes, the young man sent him back in the workshop again. After a short while, the little boy came out with the watch in his hand. The young man was both happy and surprised. He asked the boy how he succeeded while others had failed. The boy replied，“I did nothing but sit on the ground and listened in the silence. I heard the sound of the watch and just looked for it in that direction.” A peaceful mind can think better than a restless one. Give yourself a few minutes of silence every day and see how it can make your life a bit easier and happier.
