①Many people read paper books or e-books, but now there is a new trend—listening to audiobooks.

②According to a recent report by the Chinese Academy of Press and Publication (CAPP), more people are choosing to listen to audiobooks these days. 26 percent of adults listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3.2 percent higher than that in 2017.

③Young people have been the main driver in the development (发展）of audiobooks. 26.2 percent of teenagers listened to audiobooks in 2018, which was 3.5 percent higher than that in 2017. Ximalaya noted that teenagers aged 13 to 18 spent more money on audiobooks in 2018.

④One of the reasons why audiobooks are becoming more popular is that people want to make full use of their free time, China News Service reported. Listening to audiobooks frees up time for them, whether they are doing sports, taking a bus, or lying in bed. Faster Internet speeds mean that a book can be downloaded in seconds, according to Wei Yushan, director of CAPP.

⑤Listening to audiobooks also helps with loneliness. “When I am bored or lonely, audiobooks are like friends who are always with me,” Zhong Yan, an office worker who is obsessed with audiobooks, told Beijing Evening News.

⑥However, audiobooks are still far from perfect. “Listening to audiobooks doesn’t make you think in the way you do when you’re reading a book. It’s also likely that you will miss information when you listen,” said Zhong.

⑦Qiangqiang, a primary student who often listens to audiobooks, shares this opinion, “Audiobooks are less detailed than paper books you read,” he told Beijing Evening News.

⑧Li Yini, assistant general manager of Baicaoyuan Bookstore in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, told Jiangnan Times that people who want a book with serious contents should choose a paper book or e-book, but they can choose an audiobook if the contents are easy to understand.

49．What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?

A．Audiobooks have developed quickly in recent years.

B．More teenagers are using the app Ximalaya in 2018.

C．Ximalaya is the first choice when people listen to audiobooks.

D．Audiobooks are more popular than paper books all over the world.

50．Why do people like to listen to audiobooks according to the passage?

A．Because audiobooks are cheaper than paper books.

B．Because audiobooks can free up time and help with loneliness.

C．Because audiobooks can make people think more than before.

D．Because audiobooks provide people with a better reading experience.

51．What is the structure of the passage?

A． B．

C． D．

Every week, Brad’s parents gave him some pocket money. They didn’t give him the money as a gift, though. Brad actually earned it. Each day, Brad took out the trash and cleared the table after dinner. He fed the family dog and took him for walks. For all of this work, Brad earned $12 each week. The problem was, the money Brad earned seemed to be spent out just as quickly as he earned it. His dad said that money seemed to “burn a hole in his pocket”. Brad spent his money on video games more than anything else. He never seemed to have enough money, though.

Dad suggested Brad creating a budget(预算) to set aside money each week for certain expenses. “You spend only as much as your budget allows. That way, you are sure to have money for the different things you want.”

That night, the family made a list of the different types of things Brad wanted to be able to buy. The list included categories such as snacks, entertainment, and clothing. And a budget should also set aside a percentage of earnings as savings so that he would be able to buy something expensive in the future. “It can also be your rainy day fund,” said his mom. Brad gave her a puzzled look. “A rainy day fund is there to help out in an emergency,” she explained. They also said it was important to set aside a little money to help others.

From that day on, Brad always seemed to have enough money to do the things he wanted. The first year, he set aside $104, he chose to give the money to the town’s animal shelter. Giving money to help those in need made Brad feel good. He also used some of his savings to buy a cool new video game console. That made him feel good, too.

52．How did Brad earn his money?

A．By doing some housework. B．By playing difficult games.

C．By working on rainy days. D．By making a good budget.

53．What is the meaning of the underlined expression “burn a hole in his pocket” in Paragraph 1?

A．Be difficult to earn. B．Be too hot to keep.

C．Hide in his pocket. D．Disappear quickly.

54．The rest part of Brad’s budget is ________.

A．money for video games B．money for entertainment

C．savings & rainy day fund D．money for food & clothes

55．What does the passage mainly want to tell us?

A．We should learn to set aside some money to help those in need.

B．It’s good to make a budget and learn to use the money properly.

C．Teenagers can learn to feed the family dog to earn some money.

D．Teenagers are able to earn their pocket money by themselves.

十一、阅读填表

先通读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容和表格，在空格内填入一个适当的单词，使意思完整。

When we meet with trouble or failure, we may say to ourselves “Never give up.” These can be words of determination (决心). I believe the quality of determination to succeed(成功) makes a great difference to us, so we should never give up.

One reason is that if we give up too easily, we won’t achieve(获得) anything. It’s not unusual for us to fail in our first try at something new, so we should not feel sad and should try again. Another reason is that we can learn from our mistakes. In this way, we cannot make the same ones. Finally, we should never give up because working for our goals will bring us confidence. And this confidence may help us succeed in other areas of lives.

In short, it’s important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we’ll learn something, and that will help us become better and more confident. If we don’t keep trying, it will be hopeless to reach our goals.

Dear Peter,

I’m very happy to share my ideas about reading with you.

Now most students have much homework to do every day. As a result, they don’t have good reading habits. Moreover, they spend much time playing computer games and chatting on the Internet in their spare time. Every day I read books for about half an hour, and I like reading history books best.

I think reading can help us get knowledge, so we should spend as much time as we can reading and read more good books. Reading can not only make us clever and smart but also help us get more knowledge. And it’s also helpful to make us grow happily. Good books help us relax after a busy day. They also open up a whole new world to us. Reading is always a wonderful time. The more books we read, the better we will become.

All the best.
