A family is a collection of people who share the same genes but cannot agree on a place to pull over for lunch. Ed and I, plus his parents and sister Doris and eight­year­old niece Alisha, are on a road trip to Yosemite. Ed wants Subway, I want In­N­Out Burger, Doris wants Sonic. In the end, we compromise on McDonald's, where Alisha will get an action figure.

It's a three­hour drive to Yosemite, but we're taking a little longer, as we're working in a tour of Highway 80's public restrooms. As the saying goes, “Not one bladder (膀胱) empties but another fills.” Many of these restrooms belong to gas stations. I prefer them to the high­tech ones on planes.

We get back on the road. Ed is driving now. When all the tabloids (小报) have been read, the travel has grown tedious and anyone under age 12 asks “Are we there yet？” at ever­shortening internals. Just outside Manteca, California, we stop for coffee. At a Starbucks checkout, Ed buys a CD of Joni Mitchell's favorite musical picks. The hope is that it will have a calming effect.

As we pull back onto the highway, it starts to pour. Then something amazing happens. As we climb the mountain, the rain turns to snow. The pines are spotted with white. We're struck dumb (说不出话) by the scene outside. For a solid 15 minutes, everyone forgets about their bladder, their blood sugar and the temperature. Alisha has never seen snow, so we pull over to make snowmen and catch snowflakes on our tongues. Then Ed realizes we need tire chains, and we have to turn back and drive 30 miles to Oakhurst. “Good，” says Doris. “There was a very nice restroom there.”

1．Where does the family have lunch?

A．At Sonic.   B．At Subway.

C．At McDonald's.   D．At In­N­Out Burger.

2．Why does the family spend so much time going to Yosemite?

A．They stop a few times for gas.  

B．They go to the toilet frequently.

C．They are affected by the bad weather.

D．They need to rest and refresh themselves.

3．What does the underlined word “tedious” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?

A．Boring.  B．Difficult.  C．Educational.  D．Comfortable.

4．How does the family feel when it snows?

A．Sorry.   B．Excited. 

C．Worried.   D．Relaxed.

C

I fondly remember road trips as a child, sitting in the sunny backseat of my mom's car, daydreaming about other worlds and fantastic adventures. As I've grown older, my daydreams have become increasingly occupied less with fantasy but more with the reality of my past and future. Nearly everyone daydreams about their future and reflects nostalgically (念旧地) or negatively on moments of the past. These moments can provide inspiration, but if you spend too much time daydreaming in this fashion, you may be reducing your success in the present.

If you've ever planned a vacation, you're familiar with the impatient days tapping at your desk, dreaming of the lazy, relaxing days to come. Unfortunately, sometimes you end up comparing the real vacation to your imagined one, and it doesn't live up to the standard. Reflecting nostalgically on the past can also prevent present enjoyment. It is equally fun to reflect on past achievements or fun events, but it's possible to be so consumed with happy memories that you miss opportunities to create more.

We've all made mistakes that we're ashamed of; reflecting on them is an important step in correcting those mistakes and becoming a better person. But dwelling(细想)too long on your past can also be negative. If you dwell too long on a past mistake, you can begin to equate(使等同)yourself with your past and feel farther away from the person you want to be. Train your brain to think quickly about the past and future, and take only the information and inspiration that you need in order to be the best person you can without resting on your glory moments or your mistakes.

If your identity is not dependent on the past or future, every experience is new and every day is a blank page for you to write. A fun mental exercise is to always tell yourself that you're experiencing things for the first time. So take advantage of each moment you're given.

1．What does the author think of daydreaming?

A．It's the favorite for many kids.  

B．It can lead to fantastic adventures.

C．It's the major source of inspiration.

D．It has both strengths and weaknesses.

2．What can we learn from Paragraph 2?

A．Past achievements strongly influence us.

B．It's important to be patient with our present life.

C．Daydreaming may make the present disappointing.

D．Reflecting nostalgically on the past brings us no pleasure.

3．What should we avoid doing according to Paragraph 3?

A．Reflecting on the past.  

B．Resting on our past experiences.

C．Thinking about our past mistakes. 

D．Feeling ashamed of our past mistakes.

4．What's the author's purpose in writing the text?

A．To tell about her childhood.  

B．To tell how to let go the past.

C．To suggest we focus on the present. 

D．To encourage us to learn from mistakes.

D

When you were at school, the last thing you probably wanted to do was spend your weekends going to work. There was homework to do, sports to play and fun to have. But our parents probably persuaded us to find a job to earn some money and get some life experience. When I was a teenager I had a paper round: delivering newspapers to people's homes.

Today in the UK you are allowed to work from the age of 13, and many children do take up part­time jobs. It's one of those things that are seen almost as a rite of passage (成人仪式). It's a taste of independence and sometimes a useful thing to put on your CV (简历). Teenagers agree that it teaches valuable lessons about working with adults and also about managing their own money.

Some research has shown that not taking up a Saturday or holiday job could be deleterious to a person later on. A 2015 study by the UK Commission on Employment and Skills found that not participating in part­time work at school age had been blamed by employers' organizations for young adults being ill­prepared for full­time employment, but despite this, recent statistics have shown that the number of schoolchildren in the UK with a part­time job has fallen by a fifth in the past five years.

So does this mean that British teenagers are now afraid of hard work? Probably not. Some experts feel that young people feel going out to work will affect their performance at school and they are under some pressure now to study hard and get good exam result and a good job in the long term. However, Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, told BBC News that “Properly regulated part­time work is a good way of helping young people learn skills that they will need in their working lives.” In reality, it's all about getting the right balance between doing part­time work and having enough time to study and rest.

Many young people actually want to work because it gives them a sense of freedom. One 13­year­old girl called Rachel, who has a Saturday job in a shop, told the BBC that “I enjoy my job because I'm earning money and it helps me socialize with people I work with.” That seems like something worth getting up for a Saturday morning. Did you do a part­time job when you were at school?

1．What can we conclude from Para.2?

A．Students taking up part­time jobs are more independent.

B．Taking up part­time jobs can help students save money.

C．Taking up part­time jobs is good for students in many ways.

D．Children over 13 in the UK must take up part­time jobs.

2．What does the underlined word “deleterious” in Para.3 mean?

A．Important   B．Harmful

C．Threatening   D．Beneficial

3．Which of the following might Geoff Barton agree with?

A．Students with good grades and no study pressure can do part­time jobs.

B．Students should put all their energies into their studies.

C．The more part­time jobs they do, the more beneficial they are for students.

D．It is good for students to do part­time jobs as long as they are proper.

4．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text?

A．Should schoolchildren have part­time jobs?

B．What kind of part­time job should schoolchildren do?

C．What benefits can part­time jobs bring to schoolchildren?

D．Why do British schoolchildren show less interest in part­time jobs?

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Are you suffering from FOMO—that is, Fear Of Missing Out? Research shows that a growing number of young people are with worrying reasons for their sleep and schoolwork.

__1__ You aren't able to do your best unless you sleep well. Most experts agree that the optimum (最适宜) number of hours is eight, and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and know most of you get much less sleep than that.

I read an interesting article in a teachers' magazine recently. __2__ Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed and get up at appropriate times, but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack, but because of FOMO.

According to the article, the number of students waking up during the night to check social media is growing. Afraid of missing a comment or opportunity to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. __3__

Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report reveals some worrying statistics: 23% of 12­to 15­year­olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. __4__ One in third of the students are constantly tired and unable to function to their full capacity.

So I'd like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Switch off your devices at night. The world won't end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! __5__

A．But things are getting out of hand.

B．I give you my word that you won't have missed anything important.

C．Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason.

D．They did a study of 848 students in Wales.

E．FOMO is the fear that everyone else is having more fun and more excitement than you.

F．All happens when they should be sound asleep.

G．Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night's sleep every night.

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to EL Capitan, a __1__ rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew immediately I wanted to climb it. That has been my life's passion (钟爱) ever since—__2__ the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I've long made Yosemite my _3__.

About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of __4__， like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It's beyond me why visitors started respecting the place less and treated such a beautiful home­like place this way. I tried _5__ trash (垃圾) myself, but the job was too big. I would _6__ an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so _7__ it that I decided something had to _8__.

As a rock­climbing guide, I knew _9__ about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a __10__. On that day, more than 300 people _11__. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was _12__ how much we were able to accomplish. I couldn't believe the _13__ we made—the park looked clean!

I often hear people _14__ about their surroundings.I would say the only way to change things is by _15__ rather than complaining. We need to teach by example.

Once upon a time, a frog often jumped out of his pond (池塘)   1   (visit) his friend, a mouse, in a hole of a tree every morning, and   2   (return) home at noon.

The mouse was happy about that but didn't know the frog was slowly   3   (turn) an enemy instead of a friend. One day, when it was time for the frog   4   (leave) the mouse, he tied one end of a string (绳子) to one of his own   5   (leg), and   6   other end to the mouse's tail, and dived into the pond with the silly mouse behind.

The mouse tried to free himself   7   failed, and soon end up dying in the water.When a hawk (鹰) saw the mouse's body on the water, he went down and caught it,   8   (fly) up into a tree nearby. The frog was pulled out of the water too and eaten   9   (quick)．

The story reminds  me of a famous saying：“Don't dig so deep a pit (深坑)   10   your enemy, for you may fall into it yourself.”

It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West.We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad's friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.

His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm，” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.

In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn't going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don't be late for supper，” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don't get lost！” “OK！” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.

Paragraph 1：

Suddenly a little rabbit jumped out in front of my horse. __________________________________________
